LOSE WEIGHT FAST AND FOREVER

I have found in the past to start and succeed at anything you have got to want it enough. The hard reality is if you are just paying lip service to losing weight because you think it is what other people want to hear you will fail. It has to be a deep seated desire, and it has to come from you.

To start anything let yourself in on it. What I mean by this is you have to programme your mind out of it's default mechanisms and into your designed desire. Programme yourself to want to exercise, to eat healthier meals.

I gave myself a start date and two weeks before began using my mantra. I know that mantras' are thought of by some as stuff used by hippies, and the like. The fact is mantras are just a means to programme your mind and they have been used for hundreds of years for one simple reason. THEY WORK! So the basic outline of your mantra must be positive and has to be focused. To give you an idea mine is:

I am happy
I am healthy
I am filled with positive energy
I am fit and getting fitter
I will train daily
I eat healthy, nutritional food

What I would like you to note is the "now" -ness of it. I do not say I "will" be happy, or have any statement that refers to some time in the future. There is no point in programming yourself to start later as you are literally telling yourself that you will get fit at some other time rather than right here, right now. You have to tell your brain you are doing this in this moment.

Repeat your mantra every day as you wake up and before you go to sleep and as often as you care to in the interim. The more you train your mind to action the more likely you are to act.

As for myself, as I stated previously I set a date in my head when I would start, I gave myself two weeks to tell myself what my I was doing and would not allow myself to start anything before that date. By the time the day came I was really geared to go. I started by training, and have kept it up every day.

One thing that keeps me on track is keeping a note of where I started. So, first off I weighed myself and wrote it down. 2nd I took a photograph of my self in my underwear front side and back WARNING This method effects different people in different ways. If you want to really want to change, and you are 100% ready for the journey and really want to SEE results I would say do it, but for some people this can be a kick in the wrong direction.

What I mean by this is that some people see themselves in their over weight, untoned state and kick out with thoughts of self hatred and then thinking the journey is too much.

I would just like to say the journey isn't too much and you are as beautiful now as you will be when you are fitter and healthier, the only think you are changing is your body shape. The real you is not the outside shell, the real you is your personality, always remember that.

So, you either take the photo and run with it (not to the bin) or just jot down your measurements and weight. Put all this information in a safe place as you can then use it every 4 weeks to chart your progress.

Right, my progress so far is I have done my mantra, I am motivated and I have kept to my training regime and am using the15 Minute Workout #1 to start with and I have also got my rowing machine out to do some extra cardio (and purely for the fact I just love using it!).

I have also made a conscious decision to keep my diet 80% raw food. I will not be beating myself up if I slip every once in a while as hey, I am only human, but I am definite that I want to get fitter, and then, even fitter.

I honestly hope someone, anyone will join me and we can then work as a little team to boost each other as we go. I will update THIS lens from time to time with my progress and any other hints or tips I find useful along the way.

My next lens will be about weight training for women. I know this sounds a bit 'girls club' but it is not that way at all, it is to dispel a whole lot of things that women think when faced with the words weight training, that generally do not apply to men. So keep your eye out for that one.

I have also started to clean up my diet big style, I am only on day 4 raw but this is going to be my kick start into detoxing my body. To really get it going my water consumption is nearly back to what it was when I was training before so between 3 - 6 litres a day.

To translate the chart below into how much energy I have actually used why not pop over to my website where I break all this sort of stuff down for you, don't worry, it is all free!
