BT Bodysculpt 6 Week Blitz

Ok...So here we are midway through 2012 and I have experienced a three week vacation to the USofA, as well as taken on a new job role. Accordingly, I haven't looked after myself as much as I could have and I certainly enjoyed the Pale Ales and IPA's available in America.

To that end, I have joined up with a group of Bodytrim Legends and devotees, to smash out a six week Blitz on Bodysculpt, to drop the kilos gained and to get me back into the shape that I want to be, as per picture above taken mid-2011.

Current weight is 92.9 and Body Fat is 21.6% and I look forward to sharing my results as I progress. It has now been a week without a beer and 42 days to go, before I have my next.

If you want to jump on board, just throw me a line.

Cheers
Curly

Life Changing

Over the last couple of years, I have met some amazing people through my support of the Bodytrim program. I keep in contact with these via popular social networking programs, and get amazed at how their lives are lived nowadays and the changes that has happened. I feel a real sense of pride in knowing these amazing people, and cannot help but think about how their lives have changed. The latest is a young lady who has ultimately lost 60 kilos, and her latest adventure and project was completing an 11 kilometre Fun Run. Going through her head as she completed this latest objective, surely was the incredible and inspirational journey she has embarked on. And one of the greatest senses of satisfaction is that they are undertaking these journeys for themselves. No television cameras monitor their every move, no personal trainers at their beck and call. Just a desire to lose some weight, and then in the process start to enjoy life again and then the stretch begins on what they really want out of life. Exercise and health becomes the focus, after the education on how to lose their weight. They enjoy life in s many ways, and continue with some of their vices, but understand what is needed for them to ensure that vices do not take control.

In all cases, these journeys started with one step....and that one step was achieved only after a real desire for change. Are you prepared to take that step??

Would the Boy You Were.......

It has been a while since I last blogged, but a lot has changed. I guess I got into the mindspace, that enough has been spoken, now was the time for action. Since my last blog, I have dropped body fat, and sit back under the 84kg, which I was in Sept 2009, built some more muscle mass and feeling absolutely unbelievable. Additionally I took the time to get my first tattoos. Above you can see the one on the inside of my bicep.

"Would the Boy you were, be proud of the man you've become!"

I have been asked the question, as to why no question mark....too me this is a statement or a philosophy.  Maybe even an attitude. As a child, you are filled with wild eyes innocence with dreams and aspirations, and you looked up to people who you respected. Would I be that person? I reckon if I live my life in such a way, I may just be. Fair, Tolerant, healthy.

My workload to drop the excess baggage I was carrying was a combination of the Bodytrim/Bodysculpt nutrition with a changed approach to having a beer.FIVE alcohol free days, with just a couple of those days. Workouts included the Bodysculpt program, as well as some Cardio Boxing and simply walking. I have also been working on my abs and core muscles. I have dropped five cms around the waist also, which is the most pleasing for me and seeing the lurve handles getting smaller.

My life is changing again as is my outlook. I feel young and fresh! The tattoo above was my second. The first one sits on my left chest just above the heart.

THE MIGHTY DRAGONS. 

Planning a couple more, but most pressing for me is to drop another couple of kilos and smash those handles completely. Another 3-4 weeks of intense weight loss should see me hit the under 80kg number that I again am striving for. I will keep everyone updated and will post some pictures at the end. Remember, all it really takes is the mindset to change.....Anything is possible.

How Things Change!!!!

My last post, talked about the optimism and plans for 2011. Early in January they were waylaid, by a little thing called the Brisbane River...or more specifically it's tributary, the Oxley Creek. The photo above is the store I manage, and with the January 2011 floods, flooded inside to a level just over 2.1m.

I was on holidays in Yamba at the time and funnily enough flooded in by the mighty Clarence River, so while nothing that I could have done would have saved the place, it was more than a feeling of uselessness sitting some 300km south. Needless to say, a lot of beer was drunk.

Needless to say, I was shocked to see the damage that water can do to a big hardware shop like mine. Our cleanup and rebuild is underway and I have a hectic couple of months ahead. We expect to re-open in March.

Finally, I started my carb detox today. When I was being updated in Yamba, every time I was told not to worry and to have a beer. Advice I took. I have gained a few kilos and it is time to tart again. Many thoughts in my head on whether I can stay compliant during the next few months, but believe that at least when I can control my food, I should. Stay tuned for further updates.

2011 Will be An Amazing Year

I hope that everyone is well and has recovered from their NYE hangovers. I hope that everyone is facing 2011 with a great hope and optimism. Personally, my ecoli-bug that I picked up pre-Christmas is still letting me know it is around and I really do hope that is well and truly passed before my upcoming holidays in Yamba, NSW.

When I return from Yamba,I will be starting a refreshed fat-loss program to drop the unwanted kilos that I may be picking up at the moment. Even though I have been sick, it seems that I have craved sweet stuff, plus combined with little exercise has left me vulnerable to some gain. So, starting January 24 will be a no-holds-bar approach over a five weeks period to drop 6-8 kilos. I will blog daily on food, exercise and keep everyone updated with weights and measures. February Fire-Up and I am ready to go.
