<b><u>Part 1 - THE KNOWING</u></b></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Before I get started on this article I shall shout something at you first . . .</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: red;">NO! IT’S NOT TOO LATE. YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD. YOU DO HAVE TIME. </span></b></div>

. . . shouting finished, let us continue.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
There are many reasons why various people fail at destruction of the fat cells and the first one is oh, so simple. Fat destruction starts by using the most important tool in your body, the brain. It's all about the knowing, not believing. People "believe" in things they have yet to see as real such as fairies, unicorns and pots of gold at the end of rainbows. You can not just flimsily "believe" in this journey. . .</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
You have to KNOW you are going to destroy your fat, not lose it, destroy it. If you lose something your mind will try and help you find it again . We don’t want that. First step is KNOWING. Telling your mind that you ARE destroying your unwanted fat reserves, not tomorrow, not next week you have ALREADY started.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
1<sup>st</sup> Step – The Mind Mantra</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Keep repeating in your head “I have destroyed my fat. I am fitter. I am healthier”</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
No, it matters not one jot if you haven’t even put down your doughnut first. The first step is always convincing your mind you are a success.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Here is a little experiment to prove how strong your mind is over your body.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<ol>
<li>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Stand near a wall (we don’t want any harm done here!!) </div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
</li>
<li>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Tell yourself over and over again in your head you CAN NOT stand on one leg. Do this for about 3 - 5 minutes.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
</li>
<li>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Now try standing on one leg whilst telling yourself you CAN NOT stand on one leg. Go on do it.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
</li>
<li>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Notice how you CAN NOT stand on one leg either at all or not for as long as you have in the past.</div>
</li>
</ol>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
NOW:</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Sit down. Close your eyes. Tell yourself over and over again I CAN stand on one leg. Visualise yourself successfully standing on one leg. Keep the visualisation going and keep repeating to yourself that YOU CAN stand on one leg. Do this for 3 – 5 minutes.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
</li>
<li>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Once again, constantly visualising your one leg standing success and telling yourself YOU CAN stand on one leg. Try standing on one leg.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
</li>
<li>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Notice how you COULD do it this time. Maybe for even longer than you have in the past!</div>
</li>
</ol>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
And so it is with destroying the fat. You have to KNOW you are a success the moment you make the decision to change. Tell yourself how wonderful your fat destruction is, how you love feeling so much more energised and how brilliant it is that you now want to move more and make better food choices. In the evening sit for a few moments just visualising yourself slimmer and fitter. Visualise yourself moving gracefully across a floor in an outfit that shows off your strong, sleek body.</div>

There is a sentence a friend of mine loves saying:</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
You Have To Fake It Before You Make It.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
In other words, you have to make the steps toward your goal KNOWING you have already reached it!</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Step 1 is of the highest importance and I will not go into all the meta physical stuff. Simply put, control your thoughts and you control your body.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>

<h3>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />1. Find A Training Method That You Love</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Let us delve into your psyche. Having you ever been taught something like art, singing, violin, hockey, football etc., and the teacher keeps on making you do drills that bore the ass off you. Even better, have you ever taken a subject at school and there is no way on this planet you can learn it as it just does not interest you?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">This is similar to how your training mojo gets stood against a wall and shot. You want to get fit. You want to lose weight or whatever it is. You see a training method that millions of people profess to be the best. It works, there are photos and proof, plus all the reviews say so. Week one you love it, week two you stop doing it every other day, week three you avoid a couple of days by week four you dread it. Why? Because it is freaking boring as hell. It is not what you actually want to do.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">You started running but 'everyone' tells you running doesn't build muscle and you should be building muscle. You stopped.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">You started weight training, but 'everyone' told you to lift heavier until you actually dreaded failing. You stopped.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">You started a system like P90Xor any other programme and it was mind blowingly hard. You can't do the moves and feel defeated.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Stop looking to other people to tell you what is best for you. Only you can decide this. If you like running . . RUN. It is a wonderful thing to do. Running is a great cardio exercise. Not only does it get you out and moving, but you do it at your own pace and after a while it becomes not only training but can also be meditative. If you want to build bigger muscles learn to sprint train. Research it all it isn't as if there aren't a gozillion articles and books on how to run/sprint/do marathons etc.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Find something you actually love doing and allow yourself all the time you need to become the best you possibly can at it. People stick to what they love.</span><br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />2. Learn Your Limit</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicYtKqRyTpImrzDh1W14J3okON063S5ArfyVpUMw8ZLiPCnbd-BLK9akeumdjD8Evt-0Nz3Vw6bSXJe2lPpJe6crDRRNZyA_mOZo7c70kN9tmsnlRGBa2LVKAlaI6pJynOZoruZu9tGmUy/s1600/leave-your-ego-at-the-door.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicYtKqRyTpImrzDh1W14J3okON063S5ArfyVpUMw8ZLiPCnbd-BLK9akeumdjD8Evt-0Nz3Vw6bSXJe2lPpJe6crDRRNZyA_mOZo7c70kN9tmsnlRGBa2LVKAlaI6pJynOZoruZu9tGmUy/s320/leave-your-ego-at-the-door.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Always go at a pace that suits you. For instance, if you are, let's say, lifting as heavy as you can, even though it is KG's/LB's behind what you perceive as the weight you should be lifting KNOW YOUR LIMITS. It is great to push yourself to progress. It is a fool who tries to push themselves beyond what they are capable of too soon. This can lead to serious body damage.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Leave your ego locked away before you start your training.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">3. Stop Trying To Keep Up With The Experts</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMZ5gxIPz2E1-QjF6GB30jh5B7GaFF9LWC4nob38_-urG29uIjswJRv4bL3ByhqgcW5Ip0QSKi-sHRpTT9wwhQp5wzc9JhOukkTfN3YpTRUsS6d44haGY6GOYXC-roX3aEt0CkB539nrTa/s1600/download+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMZ5gxIPz2E1-QjF6GB30jh5B7GaFF9LWC4nob38_-urG29uIjswJRv4bL3ByhqgcW5Ip0QSKi-sHRpTT9wwhQp5wzc9JhOukkTfN3YpTRUsS6d44haGY6GOYXC-roX3aEt0CkB539nrTa/s1600/download+%25281%2529.jpg" /></a><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">If you have started any form of training program do not try and keep up with the instructor/pro's. Learn what you can do with your body and what areas of training you need to progress in. Use assistance when you train, if needed, such as resistance bands for pullups/dips, blocks in yoga etc. Any professional athlete/trainer that is good will tell you that you only get good by starting at the beginning and working your body to get better.</span><br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />4. Beware of Workouts Routines</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Ever seen those workouts on-line like this: </span><br />
<u><b><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></b></u>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><u><b>Warrior Workout</b></u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="color: lime;">400 pushups</span><span style="color: orange;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">200 lunges </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="color: lime;">100 pullups</span><span style="color: orange;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">300 dips</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: lime; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> 40 burpees </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">repeat 5 times. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">If you have problems doing 10 pushups then these are not for you! I have noticed a lot of these type of routines especially in calisthenics and they are HARD. As a beginner doing 15 pullups is torturous if not impossible and these routines can leave you feeling like you have failed. You haven't, you have just taken on too much too soon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">If you want to learn calisthenics make up your own basic routine which should incorporate pushups, squats, pull-ups and dips. Begin by doing small number sets ie 5 reps of each exercise and repeat for 15 minutes, then you can up your game by competing with yourself.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">There are many exercises out there that are pretty much of no plausible good for your body, they may be popular and may even be practised at some gyms but you may end up injured or cause your body imbalances through ignorance. If you want to aid your fitness find out about functional movements. We as humans naturally climb, run, pick up heavy things, swim, walk, dip down, jump, squat but there are certain training methods out there that are very questionable. As stated above do your research on whether a certain exercise will harm of help. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Stop "believing" you can do this and start KNOWING. Belief is what people have for fairies, unicorns and Santa. Knowledge is solid. Know you are getting fitter. Know that you are getting slimmer. </span><br />

". You can, you will, you know it.</span><br />

Get a bike) etc. The answer is ludicrously simple. Train at home in your garden, bedroom, garage, spare room, the choice is yours. You DO NOT need equipment to start training. You may progress to building up a home gym, but all you need for now is your body and a maybe a timer. Heck, you don't even need training gear. You can build your body strength and shape through calisthenic and can do that butt naked if you so chose. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Push ups, squats, burpees, jumping jacks, plank, yoga need no equipment.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">When you were a kid on a journey with your parents, did you keep asking "are we there yet?". Only to be told "NO, WE ARE STILL NOT THERE" and the journey would seem to last a lifetime. Can you guess what could possibly be stopping you from seeing the results in your body you want? IMPATIENCE! </span><br />

Meanwhile, back in the real world, you have to teach yourself that gentle progress, no matter how slow, is how to keep your body beautiful. We have to work and enjoy working, at making our bodies our temples. If you don't like the work, go back to paragraph #1.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">9. Stop Comparing Yourself To Others</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Unless you are Dana Linn Bailey, Larissa Reis, Matus Valent, Vinn Diesel then you will NOT have their bodies and, if you do, keep an eye on your front window as the police will be there to question you soon. You keep your mojo ignited by loving your body no matter what stage of the game you are at. This body you own, in its present condition, is the body that is going to get you to the body destination you are aiming for. There is no problem in being inspired by what others have achieved, in fact nodding your head and thinking how awesome they have enabled themselves to be can add fuel to your stoked mojo furnace. Just don't wish to be them and have their bodies. Know that you are you and are capable of making your fitness, health and body supreme.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">You are the only person that has any true sway on what you do. This applies to your body, your education, your career, your happiness etc. Sure, you can blame others taking away from yourself any power over yourself or your life, but, you are not going to do that as you have an inner strength that is way more dominant than any of this petty stuff. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">If you are hurt or upset by what someone says about you that is your choice. Yes, you have a choice in all. Only you allow yourself to be hurt. Only you allow your mind to dwell on irrelevancies like what someone else <i>may </i>be thinking. As the saying goes, what others think of you is none of your business. The sooner you learn you are a supremely powerful person, you are in control of your own thoughts, your own deeds and the only judgement you care about is the one you give yourself.</span><br />

<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This was my daughter Emily phoning the other night as she wanted me to help her quieten her mind in what she felt was an increasingly dangerous world. What is the answer? All those poor people who have had their lives ripped apart through violence. We should do something. What should we do?</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">People''s thoughts go out to those affected, they feel outrage, anger, sadness, pity, hopelessness, fear, revulsion . . . feel free to add any feeling you think is just in this sentence. Emily felt exactly this. She was saying how awful for the people involved and to her it felt as if the threat of terrorist violence was ever encroaching on her life to the point she felt frightened.</span></div>

<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The following was my solution to her. You are more than free to totally dismiss it, but I would advise you to allow your mind to open about this a little more, totally up to you.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The world we inhabit and all encapsulated in it live emitting and receiving frequencies. The PRF (Prime Resonant Frequency) of standard human is between 7 – 10 Hz, which is the same as the frequency of the earth we live on the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schumann_resonances">"Schumann resonance"</a>. It has long been agreed in quantum physics that our different moods emit different frequencies. The happier we are the higher we resonate at. When we are in a room with happy people we seem to be “infected” by their laughter. The truth is our body's frequencies become raised by those being emitted around us.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">What does this have to do with my daughter's question? EVERYTHING! It is all very natural and normal to feel empathy toward others who are experiencing pain, terror, panic etc. If you want to help you own an instant and powerful means to help those suffering.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Logically, sitting and feeling pity and sadness will only create more pity and sadness as you will be emitting a low energy frequency. Instead, take a moment to fill your mind with positive thoughts of love and compassion. Helping those in dire need of peace in their hearts and minds is easily accomplished if you sit and quietly meditate sending all the love and healing you can.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">If you know the people involved personally then being a rock in their time of need will be much more appreciated than dragging them lower with your additional dialogue of pain, terror etc. We are here to help heal our loved ones not elongate their time in sadness.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The only healer of loss of a loved one is time and enabling ourselves to be thankful for the time they were in our lives.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Here is an example of how I dealt with the most painful event I have ever experienced. My mother was the closest person to me in my life. We talked pretty much daily no matter where we were. We went on walks, days out, lunches, I would be at her house or she would pop round to mine. We spoke freely of our feelings, events in life etc. If she was living abroad, then we would write. My mother was one of the only people who held me together the one time when my world seemed to crash around me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When she died I made a supreme effort to honor her. I did not want to sit in a room full of people crying and wailing, talking of how ill she had been, how sad her days had been whilst suffering through all her illnesses . . . she very, very rarely sat and complained of her lot, was nearly permanently happy and so what right did anyone else have in brooding and perpetuating all her pain in her absence? I even told my mum when she was alive that going to her funeral was something I would not do and explained why. We agreed on this on one proviso, I had to go if there was no-one else going! She was a well loved being and trust me, plenty of people turned up. I instead went to a place me and Mum loved and walked and thought of what a wonderful person she was, how happy she makes me, how much love I have for her. She may have died, but it did and will never stop me from thinking and feeling all the positive things that she made me feel when she was alive. All her love, happiness, help, advice are still very much alive within me. It would have been a tremendous insult to her memory for me to sit and be miserable. When people are truly heartbroken they do not want someone to sit next to them and fill their already overflowing vessel of pain with more misery and hurting, they want succor. People want to be gently lead and be able to see a light at the end of the dark times.</span></div>

<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Emily also expressed a fear of imminent disaster as in her mind the terrorist attacks seemed to be getting closer. This comment actually made me giggle as she was an unborn baby, I was 8 months pregnant with her, working in Arkwright House, Parsonage Gardens, Manchester in December 1992 going up to my office when the IRA bombed Parsonage Gardens!!! So, it's not getting closer, it is just all still going on. </span></div>

<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">There are various solutions to all these attacks. Sadly most of them are to answer the attacks by attacking . . . yeah like that has helped over the hundreds of years you have all tried that! Now what was it Einstein said?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I am not here to condemn or agree with any person's way of acting. I was not put on this planet to judge, there are plenty of other people who do that (and with some of the most horrific ideas of how to retaliate). As a species, we spend too much time invested in wanting what someone else has, in hating what someone else does, in being repelled by what someone else thinks. We have a the ability to wake up and change our thought processes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Instead of being so heavily invested in what someone else is thinking/doing, we should invest more time into making sure our own thoughts and actions are ones that come from a place of inner calm. All of us should try living in the now rather than dwelling in the past or inventing the future. I heard a great quote today from Keven “Da Hulk” Washington on YouTube (I have put the video below as his story is a strong one . . excuse the pun):</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We are creators of our own reality and therefore i</span><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">f you are constantly in a state of panic, sadness, fear or any other low vibrational feeling and spend your time reminiscing on instances that gave or <i>may</i> give you panic, sadness fear, then you will never get away from them. It's like talking to yourself in a mirror and expecting the other person to say something different. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Instead, start teaching yourself to leave these situations behind. A great lesson (among very many) I learned from <a href="http://www.abugfreemind.com/about-andy-shaw/">Andy Shaw</a>'s book "A Bug-Free Mind" was to take small steps away from the "what ifs..." and "what may be's..." by introducing positive thoughts and holding them for 15 seconds. If you find this hard just think of one thing that makes you smile and hold that thought for a few seconds. Each day </span><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">build on those seconds until you can hold positive thoughts on numerous things for 5 minutes, 15 minutes and so on. I have a really simple thought that starts this process off and works every time . . . it was the day I bought a red microwave with my partner. It was so red and gorgeous and it made us both happy, then I will go through all the things that make me happy and how much appreciate them. This can start my positive thinking off and keep going for over an hour. Just fill in each moment with all the things you love, that make you happy. You will see the changes in yourself and your life in a lightning speed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So in essence, the simple steps to easing your and other's suffering, simply sit quietly and think positive, high vibrational thoughts. Your body will feel it, the earth will absorb it and remember, frequencies travel very fast. You are literally changing lives by your positive thoughts.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have read the <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17466108">PubMed</a> and trainers articles in abundance. Sat for hours poring over various books
telling me which foodstyle life is the <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/primal-blueprint-101/">best</a>.
I have lived the raw food lifestyle, the vegan lifestyle, the low protein
high carb. I then moved on to try low
carb high protein, caffeine fuelled lifestyle. However, I have been studying food and its effects on the body for over 5 years
and one thing that I keep on hearing/reading is that our bodies shout out at certain times depending on what it needs.</span></div>

I managed to get so wound up about it that I had to sit down and blog it all out. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lets start with this one. How many of you out there have an illness that can be traced back to bad diet and lack of exercise (these are more numerous than you can possibly imagine)? You have piled on weight, maybe even having trouble walking far as you get out of breath, and, when you state that you think a chocolate bar would make you feel better especially with some ice cream, the 'loved ones' and 'friends are there cooing at you, saying "yeah, it will cheer you up" or even going so far as to give you some ideas of how to stuff more crap into your body the way they do it? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you are a drinker, just a normal person who maybe goes out once a week for a few drinks; how many of you out there have gone through a really rough patch and your alcohol consumption has managed to up its game considerably? Even to the point where you are drinking a bottle of wine or more a night. Now, how many people in your life, that claim to love you, have told you its OK, heck it's not that much in the scheme of things, or even better, they do just the same so nothing to worry about. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Maybe your joints are aching a bit, and, you have faced the fact that your life has never been a particularly active or healthy one. Someone may suggest that you start learning a few simple easy bodyweight exercises . . . then the same 'caring people' who are telling you your alcohol intake is fine, your high fat diet is a great way to cheer yourself up will also turn round and tell you the person who said do exercise is a fucking idiot, you just take it easy, eat cake with a glass of wine and put your feet up. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now you have to ask yourself, those nights when you were going out and you looked in the mirror and didn't think you looked too good in that outfit so you asked one of these 'friends' what they thought and they said "You look great" . . . did you really? These 'friends' who are telling you to ignore your problems, eat crap, destroy your body and keep well away from change. You are seriously putting trust in these folk? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Let me be honest with you here . . . </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been that drinker, I have been the person with depression eating crap, I have been the one sifting through people to find the right ones that will tell me the good things about my bad habits . . . and do you know what happened? I asked myself one simple question which was:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: yellow; color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID? </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The answer was a resounding <span style="background-color: white; color: red;">YES</span>. With this very useful piece of information in hand I set out to change my health and happiness and reap the rather fabulous rewards as I journey, as for me, this journey only stops when I run out of the ability to draw breath.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now ask yourself are you surrounded by friends and loved ones or sycophants who are creeping round you telling you what you want to hear rather than what you NEED to hear? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's the truth for you, here is what, maybe, you don't want to hear but seriously need to. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">NO,</span> <tab> drinking too much is not good for you, in fact its ridiculously harmful and can lead to a myriad of health and mental health problems.</tab></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">NO,</span> eating crap will not make you feel better. The truth is it will make any illness worse, depression deeper and joint ache more severe. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">NO, </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">healthy food is not tasteless crap, all green leaves and no joy. It is an abundance of flavours in a glorious myriad of taste, texture and delight. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">YES, </span>the only way to address your problems are by eliminating the crap from your life and I'm not just talking about the food, booze, drugs and laziness, but all the sorry arse lame excuses and all the sycophants. You have to look for the cause, which is more likely to be some deep seated issue, be it lack of self worth, a bad experience in the past, relationship problems . . what ever, you need to start looking and dealing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">YES,</span><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"> </span>you can really do this and you can do it, for the most part, on your own . . . in fact I would urge you NOT to find a gym/training/diet etc partner as they invariably let you down at some point. To be a success you have to stand on your own without the fake support of others. However, if you are drowning and not waving, go to the professionals for help be it a psychiatrist, trainer or one hell of a lot of research in the library.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">YES,</span><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"> </span>it does take time. It's glorious self realising, revitalising, educational, time and it is something you should see as a pleasure not a chore. You can't do a little happy celebration dance at each goal you achieve if you are perfect! This is the wonderful part about being superbly imperfect, we get to celebrate all through our journey!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">YES,</span><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"> </span>you will reap the benefits of changing your life around </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">YES,</span><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"> </span>people will drop out of your life, the ones that hold you back, drag you down, do not want to see you succeed, but the ones that pick you up, love you unconditionally and motivate you along will appear in it.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Most importantly </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">YES IT <i>IS</i> WORTH IT </span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next time you look in a mirror and ask "do I look great" remember the only person who can answer that one is you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Now go forth and become even MORE fabulous.</b></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The subject of 'what is the best diet for</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> weight loss', is akin to asking "where is the holy grail?" and will happily have us all skipping along from one craze to the next. In my research I have found over 570 different diets (no I did not just make that number up). There is the high carb diet, 18 pound in 4 days, baby boomer, the low carb diet, zen anti diet, blood type diet, fat smash diet, the ketone diet, the grapefruit diet, crash diet, the zone diet, low GI diet, the Mediterranean diet, paleo diet, swank diet, acacia berry diet . . and so on and so forth ad infinitum or, ad another person writing another diet in vain hope of it reaching the bestsellers list and earning lots of money from the masses.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Check out how many results are out there on <a href="https://www.google.co.uk/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=P66pU5XSLcPX8geT8IDQAw">Google </a>for 'quick fix weight loss' FOURTEEN MILLION!!! </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I would love to be sitting here on a high pedestal able to state I have never been drawn into trying a <a href="http://www.everydiet.org/diet">fad diet</a>, but, there would be about as much truth in that as if I were to tell you I never tried this breathing craze either. At some point, most overweight people will look for the quickest route to the results they want, preferably, the quickest route with the least effort in the shortest time frame. So popping a magic pill or eating a miracle berry promises to have the right amount of immediacy and results requested. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">It would be a fool and their keyboard that states fad diets don't work, as, without question, some of them do, and I would be so bold as to state some people not only lose the weight but keep it off forever. Here is the kicker . . . those people are </span><span style="background-color: black; color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">NOT</span><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: white;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;">in the high numbers the quick fix seekers so desperately want to read in the column marked 'Success Stories' in fact, they are very few and far between. </span></span><br />

For most of us, we got to our overweight state over the years. One year we started putting on a couple of pounds here and there and it didn't really matter that much, then we got a little too blasé about the fact that eating the junk was only putting a bit on here and there . . then BAM we are trying on clothes from a couple of years ago that make us feel like we have just picked up a pair of kids jeans by accident, never mind the zip doesn't go up, getting them over the thighs is a joke! Let us now look at the the very important tidbit (non edible) of information we need to get into our psyche:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“It took a time to get this out of shape, it's going to take time to</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">get back into shape . . . there is no quick fix”</span></span></blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Let us think on another little subjectola for a minute too. When you read nearly any weight loss diet book they have one thing in common. The subject of 'exercise' will also pop up. I am not now casually wandering into the 'which exercise programme is best' lions den at this point as the answer is pretty much the same as the answer to which diet is best . . . and here it comes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: red; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“There is not a one size fits all, either in diet or exercise. It is what you enjoy and can stick to”</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Just because there is not a definitive answer there are however a couple of things for you to ponder on, that have, without a shadow of a doubt, aided me.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><u>Some finds on the way to the grail . . </u></span></h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">First, I would dearly love for the word '</span><span id="goog_915872023" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">calorie' </span><span id="goog_915872024" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">to be deleted overnight from everyone's memory. That word is over used and not researched enough. For one thing . . a calorie is not burned by a human as they don't actually exist (put that in your pipe and smoke it). A calorie is just a scientific experiment to found out how much heat is needed to, quite literally, burn certain food stuffs. They even have specially fancy ovens called </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calorimeter" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">calorimeters </a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">that is just a metal chamber .. which we as humans are not!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Let us replace the word 'calorie' with '<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutrient">nutrient</a>'. Instead of counting these stupid non existing things, we should be ensuring our bodies are happily getting the nutrients they need. By so doing you will notice that the foods that give us the bad skin, asthma, eczema, sleep apnea etc., and make us gain considerable weight, are not the nutrient dense ones. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The stupidly, ridiculously simple way to get a healthier leaner body, is to eat things that don't come with a label in order for you to know the content. When you go into a green grocer you don't have to check whether the apple you are about to buy is full of homogenised fat or salt, or whether it has hidden 'E' numbers in it. Why? Because you know instinctively it is 100% natural as you are getting the WHOLE food.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Yeah, yeah we can all go into the rant of "well what about pesticides!" REALLY? You want to do that whilst you are looking at the petrol/diesel receipt, eating your fast food burger which you have just picked up in a drive through after putting all your Styrofoam encased foods into plastic bags from the out of town supermarket in your vehicle? REALLY?? Step away from that argument right now! Try finding out about how our bodies natural systems can actually cope with it . . if that is too much for you, buy organic.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">If you want I could tell you how eating only one piece of cake a day is fine. How lathering butter on toast has recently been found to be good for you. Eating 20 rashers of bacon a day is a new breakthrough in weight loss or eating your body weight in nuts and avocados is absolutely fine as they are natural beasts. The main point I am making here is people love hearing good things about their bad habits. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">If you want to lose the weight for good, you need to change the way you eat FOR GOOD. You cannot expect to lose weight over a short period of time, go back to your old way of eating and keep the weight off. As Albert Einstein famously said:</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I found out what works best for me, through testing different foods, what bloats me, makes me tired, gives me wrinkles overnight, makes it hard for me to breathe, makes me depressed</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">/angry and all of them aid in my weight gain. </span><br />

Don't just take my word for it . . test yourself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Starving yourself slim is not an option either. All under eating does is seriously screw up your metabolism and then a few weeks/months down the line allows you to watch your weight not only come back, but come back with friends!

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We go looking for answers to our dietary dysfunctions and find a lot of sense in many communities out there that are '.....eterians' '....ists' or "...ers". There is however many a pitfall to becoming part of these communities if you are not careful. You have to be the BEST '....eterian' '.....ist' or "...er" be it vegetarian, fruitarian, paleoist, raw foodist, low carber, zone dieter etc, not only that, but these groups will turn on their own like some strange demented pack. One wrong food stuff mentioned, if you want something out of bounds . . that's it daggers at dawn, and not the sort for eating with! You are then not allowed in their gang anymore. Just call yourself a healthy eater and stick with it! No food is to be banished you just have to know what food does to YOUR body, YOUR health and how YOU feel when you eat it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">If you want to lose weight and be fitter and healthier forever, think of this as a lifestyle change, not a 'Get Slim Quick' scheme. As with most things in life, the more you enjoy something, the more time and effort you put, the better the results will be. I have found that I am not alone in the fact that wheat products bloat me like a puffer fish that has been poked with a stick, processed sugars make me feel lethargic, big cooked meals make me want to sleep; whereas fruits and veggies just leave me feeling satiated and energised.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Another consideration for you. Have you ever noticed how most people that are unfit or overweight look grey especially smokers? It is down to a lack of oxygen. The more fresh water we drink, fresh fruit and vegetables we eat, the more exercise we do, the more oxygen is put into our bodies (if you want things to 'burn' you need oxygen). The more processed foods we eat, the more stimulants we consume (be it coffee, cigarettes, drugs, booze etc), and the less we exercise the more our bodies are depleted of the oxygen we actually thrive on. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h2>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><u>TO SUM UP</u></span></h2>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">If you really want to do this shizz, get your facts right. Learn about nutrition and forget about calories. Eat nutrient dense foods. Drink plenty of water. Eliminate the processed crap. Find out what foods your body reacts badly to. Experiment until you find a food plan you really enjoy that you can stick to. Avoid pills, potions or anything that is dehydrated that you have to rehydrate to consume . . just eat the fresh stuff! Find a training plan you enjoy that gets your heart rate up, <a href="http://fit-life-body-and-soul.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/how-to-get-fit-doing-only-15-minutes.html">intervals for the win</a>. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">As with food, you DO NOT need to be out there spending money on the next craze in exercise. Body weight exercises are free and have worked for time immemorial. The more muscle you build, the more fat your body will rid itself of. Oh and before I go . .no you can't spot reduce fat. If you want a flat tummy or to get rid of your bingo wings, you have to exercise and your body's own little computer will decide where the fat goes from first, so don't believe that crock!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You want to lose weight and just get fit; yet we live in a world where, thanks to the internet, we are bombarded with books, e-books, articles, fitness magazines all selling us their answer to weight loss and fitness. High carb low fat . . no it's low carb high protein . . no it's anything you like but in moderation . . no it's shakes. Fruit is the answer, fruit is bad . . anyone else's head spinning yet? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Billions of people buy into the pills, potions and quick fixes. Heads up for you people, there is no such thing as a quick fix, unless of course you put the word 'temporary' in front of it.
This article is a short and sweet answer to your question
"How do I lose weight and get fit forever?"
Pour yourself a large glass of cool water, sit back and learn the 1 thing you really need to know. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Day 1: You made your list, and day one came along . . you were flying! You joined a gym, signed yourself up for a couple of classes, went home, made a salad and you are feeling good about yourself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Day 2: You are a little hungry, but hey, isn't that to be expected you are cutting down here. Off to the gym with you. Still feeling good.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Day 4 - 5: You are absolutely knackered. You can't figure out why you are in such a bad mood and actually feel a little sad. Your day at work has been a day from hell and you are late getting home. You missed your class and, lets face it, you just can't be bothered to go to the gym . . hey you'll go tomorrow.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Day 14: By now you have had at least 1 - 2 mad binge nights as the craving for bread/something fatty/sugar was driving you round the bend. You started so well going to the classes but now you are finding it difficult to get the time to go and you are increasingly finding fault with the people in the classes, the way they are taught and how everyone in the gym itself are all doing better than you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">End of the month scenario. You are now maybe even a little heavier, more depressed and have a little less money.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">You were only meant to start with ONE thing. Yup . . it really is that simple.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The mistake we all make is to try and do it all at once. This is a life changing thing you are doing, you can not possibly fix years of body misuse in one week/month/even year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, snuffle into your comfy chair and take heart. It is ALL doable, just not all at once.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What you have to do is start with one thing and stick with it for at least 21 days. So start with something easy like drinking at least 2 liters of water a day. Doesn't matter how you do it sips through out the day, 250 ml bottles on the hour for eight hours . . whatever.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Once you have got this as a habit, once you notice that getting up in a morning and checking you have your supply for the day is a natural thing to do then move on to the next thing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Your New Exercise Plan for the Next Month. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Find ONE form of exercise to learn and do 15 - 20 minutes<a href="http://fit-life-body-and-soul.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/how-to-get-fit-doing-only-15-minutes.html"> <span style="color: purple;">high intensity intervals</span></a> every day for 21 days to a month. Be it rowing, running, pushups, squats, whatever . . every day set a certain time (for some reason first thing and 7pm are always good times for me) and ensure you do your exercise. Nothing fancy, not hop skip, jump, pullup pushup blah blah, just something simple that you can do consistently.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<h3>
<span style="color: lime; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>THE FOOD, OHHH THE FOOD!</u></span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Changing what you eat may be the most challenging part of any fitness goal. Again use the ONE thing rule to start. Try by cutting out processed sugar (cooked sugars), nothing else, just processed sugar. Sure cut down your portions of other things if you can but your main aim is cutting out processed sugar. Again do this for 1 month. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It may not be easy, but at least you are only dealing with ONE craving. To stop yourself going insane you can still eat oranges, apples, melon, strawberries etc, natural fruit sugars are NOT processed!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then the next month, cut out wheat (nasty bloaty, gut annoying stuff that it is) and so on and so forth.</span><br />

<h3>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">WHICH DIET IS THE BEST</span></h3>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I could sit and give you hundreds of links to various sites that claim their way is the best way. The very simple truth of it is, if you find a way of eating that suits your life, that you can stick with, that helps you lose weight, lower your cholesterol levels, gives you energy and revitalisation and doesn't leave you clawing the walls, THAT is the right one!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Some people absolutely thrive on the 80/10/10 diet and say it is the only way to exist</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Others thrive on the Paleo lifestyle and say THAT is the only way to live</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The only diet that is good for you is one that you can make into a lifestyle choice. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A HEADS UP</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Right, you have done your ONE thing. You have made your healthy eating choice but something is just not working. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC2mdoYUY-3OIvlYiWR6LFsxzIxUcDZexQXpQjYrATWfRgWJLebZkk7rbG1tuJCNsck7VNC-u_x42FXJBbU_LeMOsnnUfkxxaBI6OIFIaBB-Wtc6OBRlJN2WwbuWi_NkHdOkTgvRU-7r5k/s1600/gluten.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC2mdoYUY-3OIvlYiWR6LFsxzIxUcDZexQXpQjYrATWfRgWJLebZkk7rbG1tuJCNsck7VNC-u_x42FXJBbU_LeMOsnnUfkxxaBI6OIFIaBB-Wtc6OBRlJN2WwbuWi_NkHdOkTgvRU-7r5k/s1600/gluten.jpg" height="200" width="132" /></span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A lot of people (millions) have intolerances and even though you have never had an allergic reaction to anything in your life, you body still may not be able to cope with certain foods. This is far more prevalent the older we get so here are a three foods that your body has just learnt to hate:</span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">WHEAT</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">GLUTEN</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">PROCESSED SUGAR</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you are having real difficulty shedding the pounds, try the ONE method with each of these. I pretty much guarantee that one of them will be the culprit for your struggles.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What else is there that can cause you to fail?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have left the biggest ONE till last</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">YOUR MENTAL ATTITUDE</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There is an old saying:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e69138; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e69138; font-size: x-large;"><b>"WHETHER YOU THINK YOU CAN OR WHETHER YOU THINK YOU CAN'T, EITHER WAY YOU ARE RIGHT"</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You have taken stock of most things by now, but one HUGE thing is still to be added to your repertoire to ensure you succeed. This is so simple and yet the most missed piece of necessary advice..You have to believe you are succeeding, you have to believe you can do this as if you don't, you may as well quit whilst your behind. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Your mind is the thing that says "let's exercise", you mind is the thing that says "let's eat clean" it is also ONLY YOUR mind that can tell you "this is too hard/I can't do this/I am failing/I'm never going to reach my goals . . . " and worst sentence your mind can possibly say </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"I GIVE UP!!"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e69138; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">OH NO YOU DON'T!! </span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">NOT ON MY WATCH!!</span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">From this moment on you are going to tell yourself you CAN do this. Sure you may go awry every now and again, we all do that! You are going to get right back on track and start again, and again, and if need be again to infinity. You are never going to give up. Why? Because it's simple </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Effort + belief = results</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are not looking at a 90 day transformation miracle, we are looking for a lifetime of getting fitter, healthier and happier!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Try different ways of training. Learn as much as you can about nutrition (be warned the world of science has not made a definitive ONE way on this, but you have to make your choice) use your noggin, if it sounds like a pile of houey it generally is! In general terms the simple meal of small amount of meat (obviously if you are vegan, veggie that is not necessary we all know all fruit and veggies contain enough proteins to go at), lots of greens/salad and fruit. If you have a sugar craving, grab a couple of banana's.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, before this turns into a book I should finish. I hope this opened your eyes and mind to how to be a complete success. Any questions, just ask . . </span></div>

</div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As with most things when it comes to bodyweight exercises there are varying difficulty levels, so it is with the squat. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you have NEVER done a bodyweight squat before I advise you to start with the simple straight forward squat:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When performing the squat always remember to push through your heels NOT the balls of your feet. A good way to test if you have the right position is to squat down and see if you can lift your toes up. If not you are leaning too far forward. Do not allow your knees to go further forward than your toes.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If these are easy, try Pistol squats (this is a brilliant video by<a href="http://www.alkavadlo.com/2010/06/14/pistol-squat-tutorial/"> Al Kavadlo</a> showing the progression, just click on his name and it will take you to his page where he explains in full how to do pistol squats)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now you have your repertoire, 5 reps of pushup of choice, 5 reps of squat of choice </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">repeat this (set) for 15 minutes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Always keep going for the whole time, it does not
matter how slow it ends up being as long as you keep going. Even if you only manage one set that will be one set more
than you have done before. 1 squat and 1 press up . . . doesn't matter as long
as you keep trying. It is a no fail workout.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you are getting to around 40 sets, up the number of reps from 5 to 10 of each, then 10 to 20. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you want to ramp it up and use even LESS time try doing this tabata style, see my blog </span><a href="http://fat-burning-muscle-building-workouts.blogspot.co.uk/" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">fat burning muscle building workout</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> this will seriously test your metal</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This is a case of 'if I knew then, what I know now how different it would have been'. Running is one of those things that we all believe we can do, come on, we were hunter gatherers (so they say) who ran after our dinner! It's natural to us, it is what we were designed to do!! Or is it?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Honesty is the best policy and all that, so to start I will tell you I am a beginner on the running side of things. I have been trying to become a runner for over 8 months, but, due to following the advice of <a href="http://www.runnersworld.com/the-starting-line"><span style="color: magenta;">those in the know</span></a> . . I have failed (for the record the fault is mine <span style="color: red;"><b>NOT </b></span>the running sites, they give superb, solid information) I shall explain myself.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It all has to start with a basic understanding, we all, more or less, fall into two very general categories; those that have always been into sport from childhood, in the team both track and field, loving every minute of it, kept it up for their whole lives, some even going on to become professional athletes. Then there are the other category (I'm waving) the ones that were never picked for the team, that could never hit the rounders ball, win the race or jump very high. We may have happily enjoyed ourselves, we may have even given it our all, but, we were just crap at sport and as soon as we left school happily uncoupled ourselves from the fitness train and got on with life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The first group will have very few, to no problems, they may over run, they may even stuff up nutritionally but generally speaking, they will have no worries picking up the baton again and setting off.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Then there is my group. We reach a certain age and reality gently strokes our hair (or blatantly throttles us) and explains that if we don't get fit, we are going to have a lot of problems in our dotage. So, what better thing to do than re-start doing what our bodies (allegedly) are built for? It's the best way to get lean and toned . . isn't it? So we put on our old trainers, read some articles by the experts and off we go. . . here is the absolute kicker, all articles I have read miss out one very important paragraph at the beginning. don't get me wrong the training schedules they give you like couch to 5k are superb and yes they do work, but there is a lurking undertow that is going to suck you under unless you take heed to my next paragraph.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you have never done running/exercise before there is a slim to huge chance that you are going to bugger up your knees/ankles/hips within about a year UNLESS you do some, preferably ALL, of the following things.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">DO YOU HAVE A PAST INJURY?</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you have ever had an injury in the past, it doesn't need to be a huge one, and you believe it has stopped hurting/bothering you a sport like running may soon tell you otherwise. DO NOT get me wrong here, running is GREAT especially at letting you know exactly how many problems you need to address.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A huge misnomer is that a sore shoulder is a problem just with the shoulder . . NOooooooo, a sore shoulder can be a problem with your hips, knees, ankles or all three. Think of this simply, we are bones covered in joiny together bits that are moved by contracting and releasing fibres. These bits are all interconnected like a woolly jumper, and if a bit of thread goes at the top, the whole thing may unravel unless mended quickly.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">HOW ONE THING ALWAYS LEADS TO ANOTHER IN YOUR BODY?</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In the dark and distant past I had suffered for years with my leg that would give out under me without any warning, at the time and over about 3 years I was told I had sciatica and a plethora of other things and there was nothing to be done. BOO. Luckily I happened upon a knowing physiotherapist where I used to live who got me to lay down, as I did so he just laughed and said</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">"Have you ever noticed that when you lay down one leg is longer than the other?"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I had not, in fact at that time I would not have even thought about looking at my feet when I was laying down. It turned out this 'sciatica' was in fact an imbalance in how I walked ie I favoured one leg over the other and strode out on it, thus causing the imbalance. After only 1 month of little exercises CURED!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Then last year I was at my new physiotherapists after having enormous pain in my shoulder . . .funnily enough I had just started learning to run (coincidence . . not), it turned out that an old injury from a car crash a couple of years before was showing it's ugly head and my spine had to be re-adjusted.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Move on a month and a bit, and everything has settled down, I have done my exercises and once again set off to learn how to run . . then the big one . . I started getting pain in my left knee, I put this down to being a beginner and looked it up on pro running sites to read it was normal to get little niggles, aches and pains when you first start. So I carried on running. Then one morning whilst doing my beloved Hindu Squats a pain shot through my leg that quite literally brought me to my knees in tears. Went to the doctors who told me I had a broken patella, was taken to hospital for an x-ray to be told that I didn't need one and the last doctor was an idiot, I had not broken my patella but I needed . . PHYSIO. So I phoned the department up and they emailed me some re-hab exercises. I was a bit taken aback they didn't actually need to see me to assess me, but hey ho. Whilst I was on the phone to the physio man I asked a serious question (so I thought)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">"Are my injuries connected in any way and is there a set of exercises that I should do to prevent/treat them as one?"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ohhhh how he laughed and told me not to be daft, of course there were not such a thing!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On putting the phone down, my mind told me, in no uncertain terms, not to believe the piece of information I had just received. So started digging about, reading other articles and watching YouTube videos. Turns out its Physio bloke 0 Me 1. Yes all my injuries were indeed because of an imbalance in my body, and running had brought it all to the fore.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Answer? Yoga and I also found out about <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ECLGALG/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00ECLGALG&linkCode=as2&tag=cre8w-20"><span style="color: magenta;">trigger point manipulation</span></a> ie using a<span style="color: yellow;"> </span>hard rubber ball to ease tension in muscles (see link at the bottom for more info). Find a yoga book like <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0805209697/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0805209697&linkCode=as2&tag=cre8w-20"><span style="color: magenta;">The Complete Yoga Book</span></a> and make out a routine that stretches and manipulates every set of muscles in your body. You don't have to do it all at once you could have a day concentrating on stretching your hands (very overlooked part of the body, yet the one we use the most), arms and shoulders, then another day concentration on the back and hips, and another on stretching out the butt and legs.</span></div>

It is not however the case. You are using </span><span style="color: red; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>ALL </b></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">your muscles and joints, powering from the feet through the ankles the calves, upper leg muscles, which use the butt muscles, which are connected to the lower back muscles, all the time pushing through with your arms that are connected to your shoulder muscles that, join to your lats. Move it all round to the front and still it carries on, through your delts, the movement of running using your abs and external obliques . . you are just going to be using EVERYTHING!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Of course, by the nature of the beast you are not going to become huge and muscular through running, but that is not what this article is addressing. What I am saying is that if you have not exercised in a long while, or have never done running then just donning the running shoes and setting off may be the worse mistake you will make.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">SO HOW SHOULD YOU REALLY BEGIN?</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Find your weak points through stretching and yoga exercises, and before you even look at a fluorescent jacket get your flexibility up. Even if you don't have any imbalances, I would suggest to get stretching first.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Walk before you can run. If you already walk regularly, try picking up the pace a bit and see how your body copes with this. If you don't, start by getting a couple of walks in a day. If you are carrying a lot of excess weight I would strongly recommend walking and not running as the weight will also impact on your joints harming rather than healing. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Get a member of your local running club, or someone who REALLY knows what they are talking about to watch you run on a treadmill. They will INSTANTLY tell you whether your feet are landing properly, a bad foot strike WILL lead to injury.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">NEVER start running in an old pair of trainers!! Get yourself either properly fitted for by a reputable running shop or, if that is not an option at least ensure you buy yourself a decent pair of running shoes.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Start on the treadmill. If you can, get your body used to running on the soft and forgiving surface of a treadmill, this way you get in the exercise, reduce the impact injury risk and can get your form and foot landing to a tee before you start hitting the hard unforgiving surface of the road.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">LEAVE YOUR EGO AT HOME AT ALL TIMES! As a beginner, you should not be going to the fastest, farthest or longest times. You SHOULD be going slowly, for short distances, then, over a period of MONTHS not days, be working up how long you run for. As we are each different being that one is going to have to be between you and your running programme.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Running Programmes are NOT set in stone. If you do start with something like </span><span style="color: yellow; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.c25k.com/">Couch to 5K</a> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">remember this are guidelines, not rigid, needs must or fail, chiseled in granite laws. Go at your own pace. If you find it easy . . good, stick with the program till you find it hard, do not skip a few steps . .that is the path to injury. If it is too hard too soon, just stay at the pace you are comfortable with for longer! You are doing this to aid your health not break it!</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Ladies out there, do yourselves a favour and buy a proper running bra, as otherwise you are going to be in pain. I use, and highly recommend the </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GXTMMJO/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00GXTMMJO&linkCode=as2&tag=cre8w-20" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="color: magenta;">Shock Absorber sports bra</span></a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> brand. There are plenty of others out there, this one just works best for me as I am rather ample in that area.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3rQ-XMTg0HK8TjJY_qOnYJk6GSjzwD_j-mE1Er5VOh0juB1el6XBdraDkpAWFANSlHBZ1DY2ZRZNxE-oV-mdrR5-82ORurJU4dTjwotMT1LkJ2V3xHClEtf1ZGvgvRH8BZ9mnK6gI6ATH/s1600/pain.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; display: inline !important; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3rQ-XMTg0HK8TjJY_qOnYJk6GSjzwD_j-mE1Er5VOh0juB1el6XBdraDkpAWFANSlHBZ1DY2ZRZNxE-oV-mdrR5-82ORurJU4dTjwotMT1LkJ2V3xHClEtf1ZGvgvRH8BZ9mnK6gI6ATH/s1600/pain.jpg" height="200" width="200" /></a>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">IF YOU FEEL ANY</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> <a href="http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_5/194.shtml" style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="color: magenta;">PAIN IN YOUR KNEE</span></a> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">STOP!!! Stop immediately. You have either just injured yourself and are about to make it ten times worse by continuing, </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">or your body is telling you loud and clear you are doing too much too soon. I have read way too many times (and from people who have been running a long ol' time) how they 'pushed through even though the knee was hurting'. Then BAM move on two weeks later and you are reading how they are now laid up unable to move and have been told not to run for at least 3 months plus!</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Join an online running site like </span><a href="http://www.dailymile.com/" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="color: magenta;">Daily Mile</span></a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> as the advice you can gleen from people that have been doing this shizz for years is excellent.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></li>
</ul>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So, to conclude . . . </span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you want to start running, be honest with yourself. If you are not fit, you need to put some work in to get </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">yourself more supple, strengthen your joints and balancing your body. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">If you have any old injuries ensure you are on a good regime to keep them clear. Once you are given physio instruction, keep it up for life!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Going headlong onto a 5 miler down the road in your old trainers is not going to do you any favours, plus the fact that after one minute there is a strong chance you are going to have a rude awakening on your fitness levels. Treadmill before tarmac.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Go at your own pace, don't push yourself to breaking point.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Most importantly LISTEN TO YOUR BODY! If it says it hurts, there is something wrong. It may be as easy to fix as an ice pack but don't turn it into surgery.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As with everything fitness wise keep hydrated.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Well, that is my advice and as with everything in life, you can either take it or leave it. Trust me on one thing, everything I have learned is from stuffing up myself, injuring myself, going head long into a sport I had no idea about and not listening to my body. I am now happier and wiser for my cock ups and infact, stronger. I have written this as I would like people to be able to avoid the middle man ie breaking and causing yourself pain and hey, if you have got dodgy knees just have a go on a rowing machine instead . .. . I'll write another heads up on that one later (I have slightly fallen in love with my rowing machine!).</span><br />

I turned off my computer, went out with my dog and carried on being annoyed, to the point of having an imaginary sit down debate with the person. As the evening wore on I went to do my meditation, only to have my mind fill with all the things 'I could have said/should have said'.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This morning I sat and thought to myself 'Cathi, you are an arse!' Am I so arrogant that my opinions and beliefs are more valid than theirs? Has that person who you are slowly winding yourself up like coiled cobra about, had half a day of head turmoil thinking 'I bet this annoyed Cathi' . . no, they didn't. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I allowed myself to find something annoying, I told my head to get into a real rumpus about it. In other words I had a sleeping demon, who, rather than letting her sleep, I prodded her with a pointy stick and woke her. As we know anyone woken by being poiked with a pointy stick isn't going to wake up happy!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> many times have you become enraged at the words that have come out of someone else's mouth? If I was walking past you and sneered under my breath said "Jeesh, you are one hideous pig" . .how would you react? Punch me? Shout at me? Swear at me? Spend AT LEAST half a day coming up with brilliant retorts in your head? Cry? Look for a place that does plastic surgery? Or would you just carry on and not let it bother you?</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now ask yourself which way of reacting would make your life a healthier, happier, more positive place? Dragging round a bag of anger or allowing others to be.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you keep dragging round your bag of anger it is because you are not a peace with yourself.
You have not accepted yourself. You have issues around certain parts of your being, whether it be your weight, your size, you features, your intelligence, your beliefs etc. So many wars about religion, about land that people believe to be theirs. If we all just took a deep breath, and started allowing people to be, what does it matter where a border is, why not completely dissolve all borders, allow anyone on this planet to go where ever they want? If they want to believe that all carrots are gods and sacred, what business is it of yours to tell them otherwise? I know, it's my Utopian dream, and so many people will already be putting up mind barriers, arguing how it can't be rather than smiling thinking 'that would be lovely'.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I don't hold with a lot of Gym-lore thinking. By that I mean you will not find me spewing out the usual nonsense that you find in fitness magazines.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16pt; margin: 0in;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16pt; margin: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I fervently believe that strength, fitness and fat-loss come from adding muscle to your body and that you do this by lifting weights via compound movements and by gradually increasing the weight you lift.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16pt; margin: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">

"Okay, okay" you say..."so what has this got to do with increasing my Dead-lift?"</div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, it goes like this. I offer a solution to getting fit and strong in the shortest amount of time and get a hoard of excuses as to why these exercises can't be performed.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16pt; margin: 0in;">

</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16pt; margin: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For exercises like Dead-lift and Bent-over row...the limiting factor or objection is grip. Picking up heavy bars puts a huge strain on your grip and your grip will probably give out before everything else.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16pt; margin: 0in;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So here is what to do to instantly improve your grip.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16pt; margin: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<li style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 15px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: middle;"><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 16pt;">Do NOT use lifting hooks or straps...they will only make your grip weaker over time.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: 21.111112594604492px;"><br /></span></span></div>
</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; color: #222222; direction: ltr; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800002098083496px; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.375in; margin-top: 0in;" type="disc">
<li style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 15px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: middle;"><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 16pt;">Do use a technique called "White Knuckling". When you grab hold of the bar, squeeze the bar as hard as you can as you lift. This activates and recruits a whole host of muscles, sinews, ligaments and fibres within your body. Allowing you to pick up much heavier weights, or making heavy weights seem a lot easier to lift.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: 21.111112594604492px;"><br /></span></span></div>
</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; color: #222222; direction: ltr; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800002098083496px; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.375in; margin-top: 0in;" type="disc">
<li style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 15px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: middle;"><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 16pt;">On the last repetition of each set, hold the bar for a count of 10 before lowering it. So if you are doing 5 reps per set, hold the bar for a count of 10 on the 5th repetition of each set. This will help build your grip strength.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: 21.111112594604492px;"><br /></span></span></div>
</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; color: #222222; direction: ltr; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800002098083496px; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.375in; margin-top: 0in;" type="disc">
<li style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 15px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: middle;"><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 16pt;">Use chalk to improve your grip. We didn't realise how effective chalk is to lifting until we tried it. Absolutely amazing how much it improves grip. It is also very cheap, peanuts cheap. There is a down-side to using chalk...the dust cloud and mess. But you can get around that with Troll chalk balls or Eco Balls or even liquid grip. All are highly recommended and won't get you thrown out of the Gym for making a mess and they are all still very cheap.</span></li>

<br />
<br />
One thing I do adore, especially in the hot weather is a delicious ice cream. Since I stopped consuming dairy this became some what of a thing I quietly, now and again, yearned for. How brilliant that completely by accident I made some! So without further ado, here is what you do do<br />
<br />
Serves 4 - 6 (or just 1 very hungry teenager as happened in my house!)<br />
<br />
<u>Ingredient</u><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>10 Ripe (spotty skinned) banana's</li>
<li>200 g Dates (if dried soak overnight in 300 ml of water) (Optional, they add sweetness but can be left out)</li>
<li>2 cups frozen Mixed Berries </li>
<li>200 ml spring water </li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u>Method</u></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Chop each banana into 4- 5 chunks, place in a freezer box/bag and leave over night to freeze. <br />
<br />
If you are using dried dates pop them into a tub with 300 ml of water to soak overnight as well . . <span style="color: red;"><u>KEEP WATER</u></span> DO NOT DISCARD THE NEXT DAY!!<br />
<br />
After all the freezing and soaking has gone on get your blender and pop in the dates and top up water they were soaked in to 200 ml whizz it up. <br />
<br />
If you are not using dates then just pour in 200 ml of spring water. Next throw in the bananas and blend together. If you are using a high speed blender such as a vitamix you will only need to blend for seconds otherwise you will overheat the mix. On the other end of the scale if you are using a less powerful blender you may need to keep stopping and stirring to ensure all the fruit is processed.<br />
<br />
Tah Dah ready. That is it done, yes it really is as easy as that!<br />
<br />
Serve with sliced strawberry or sprinkle with chopped nuts, or just leave it the way it is! </div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">How to survive divorce with your sanity intact and your happiness beast mode on, is the subject de jour (ooh hark at me and my french ways).</span></div>

THE BLAME GAME</u></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The issue that first hits the stumps is the</span></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: orange; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">"Who's fault is it"</span></div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">No matter what you would love to say on this one, whether it be a cheating husband/wife, one half saying the other "just doesn't understand" the answer is very, very simple and the sooner you get this the quicker your happiness and life status quo will return.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #e06666; color: purple; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>THERE IS NO BLAME, PEOPLE JUST CHANGE!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Now, to the spurned lover this will sound incredibly harsh and even somewhat unfair, but it is, and always will be, the truth.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">We as humans are ever evolving creatures, I shall put myself in the petri dish here for analysis. I am a lover of this thing we call life, I enjoy it and think it there to be enjoyed, however my idea of enjoyment and my ex-husbands were quite different. He loved playing on gaming devices, going to the pub and basically not being very near me. I on the other hand am a tactile person and had a rosy picture in my head of family days out at the weekend, walking together, cycling together, getting fit together . . . . it took me 18 years to realise my dream would never come true. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The main turning point was realizing the vast chunk of my life had been spent in a pretty much exercise free zone. Yes, I walked the dog and went pootling with my daughter's on the bike but never even realised our local swimming pool had a gym, and, even if I did would have considered it a Men Only zone. Skip on a few years to 38 and suddenly I realise I am so unfit it is ridiculous and have spent way too much of my life wishing to be a different shape. I start looking into fitness . . very cautiously you understand, this was an alien planet as far as I was concerned. Skip to 39 I made a promise to myself to be fit for 40, this is when my whole world suddenly got turned on its head. I trained hard, very hard, in retrospect TOO hard I lost ALL of my excess body weight, but in doing so a new passion had arisen, another crack in the ice of an already globally warmed iceberg in the marriage, I adored training, I was hooked. I wanted more knowledge about it and here lay another issue for this was yet another passion that was NOT shared with my husband. He was a construction worker and considered lugging plaster boards up and down the place good enough exercise for him. So, the petri dish develops more globs in it as my changes kick in. I am no more the happy little round house wife that cooks meals and hopes her hubby will be back before 8pm, I am now a very happy woman realising a passion and realising that her husband is not and never has been the man she actually wanted. I realise I just don't love him.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Who is to blame here? Me for wanting more out of life or him for not providing it? Answer neither of us, we were just different beings with different needs and passions. No one was to blame, life just happens and we have to deal with that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> The man I married was not my soul mate, no matter how hard I tried to bully him into it. As you can see we are both at fault as we were a) not living the life we truly wanted and even worse b) trying just to "tick along" as society says married people with children should stay together for the children's sake. I say STUFF THAT!!</span></div>

</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Ahh the ego such a pampered lover. It tells both you and your partner the best thing you can do, even though your marriage/relationship is in tatters, is to stay together for children as this is what society dictates. Yes, of course it is the best thing. Just like if a child is growing up on the Gaza Strip it may as well stay there in times of non bombing and violence as that is what it is used to! Sod moving the child to Barbados where there is a chance of peace, tranquility and somewhere to relax, readjust and focus on THEIR little lives. Let's keep them in the purgatory of being pulled from one parent to the other, constantly seeing or hearing the two people they love rip each other to pieces and having to deal with all the whispered slurs from one, or boths parent about the other. Let them have their whole childhood focussed, not on their study, their passions or their future but on your messed up relationship with each other . . . anybody seeing a problem yet?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The best thing for you is just the same as the best thing for your child. MOVE ON. Yes a divorce is hard on all parties involved there is just no getting around that, it hurts, but here is the readjustment point . . EVERYONE HEALS! Your children will get through the mess quicker if they are not being used as weapons ie "I'll take the children away from you if you [insert random demand]". Why not put on your big grown up pants and sit with your child and find out how they feel. It is worth noting your ego may take the biggest kicking of its life at this point. Let them tell you who they want to live with for now.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> . . . back to me, my children wanted to stay with their father because he had the big house and a better job. Fair enough! I got to see my youngest daughter a few times a week. Don't get me wrong it hurt like a red hot knife through my soul, but, after precisely 3 months my eldest daughter had moved out to live on her own and my youngest daughter was pleading to live with me, which I grabbed with both hands it has to be said. It turns out a big house and wallet don't provide the things they truly wanted. I now live very happily in the smallest house you can imagine with my new partner (who really IS my soul mate) and my youngest daughter. I never asked for a penny in child maintenance, told my solicitor I did not want any of my husbands earning, I even gave my husband the house we had built, (later found out he had not been paying the mortgage so had to sell it). The point here is, your marriage is defunct, you have to move on for the sake of your sanity and, if you have children, for the sake of their future. If you are using your partner's income as your own then it is time for you to stand on your own two feet or at least come to a FAIR decision, but, I guess that bit should be left to the solicitor. Remember the more money you get through the divorce the chances are the richer your solicitor will be! If you are in the UK and using Legal Aid and get some settlement in the end from a sale of house or whatever, between the solicitor and Legal Aid they will rip as much of their losses back from you as they can in my case £7,000+! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">We have to learn to move on with our lives. Stagnating in any situation that makes you unhappy will turn to depression, which in turn will end in illness, it is how our bodies and minds symphonically work. Surely it is better to take responsibility for your own life, to live by design not by default, to stop waiting for others to pick up your slack and to realise the best money to have in your pocket is not that gleaned from someone else by a solicitor, but that you have made by yourself. Divorce is as hard or as easy as you want it to be, the trick is not to push so hard at each other but learn to bend without breaking. Life is full of lessons and we just have to be aware enough to realise they are being taught.</span><br />

<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The point that has to be made here is, at 43 I have realised one HUGE thing. I am responsible for everything that happens to me in my life. When I put on weight, it is not due to the pressure placed on my by advertising, I have never been quietly sitting at my computer when a Ronald McDonald employer of the week has stormed my house, grabbed me by the hair, stuffed me in the back of a van and force fed me a Deli Special of the Week, neither has any supermarket employee forced me into the dreaded "middle" of the shop, where apparently all the bad shit happens and you get sucker punched into buying all sorts of weird and wonderful things.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Now I do understand there are some quite legitimate reasons for taking someone to court/suing them such as gross malpractice, health and safety neglect etc but it is the daft stuff that is mentioned above, people just seem to want to find things to sue people for and, you get what you wish for I am afraid folks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">A story to learn by here is, friends of my partner played the suing game, suing for accidents they had at work to the point where he would DELIBERATELY hurt himself, they actually bought and paid for their house through all the claims they made. Now I am a firm believer in you get what you bring to you, so if you are constantly telling people how poor you are, you will remain poor, if you are constantly telling people about your fear of being attacked, you will get attacked and so on. Then what they had been focusing on came to pass, the man who had even gone to the lengths of severing a finger to sue, ended up having a serious motorbike accident and becoming paralyzed at which point, his wife left him. So be careful what you wish for people!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So, to sum up. When you realise you are responsible for everything that happens in your life, you will then be able to start making a more positive step to creating your dream life. If you want to be slender, take a look at what YOU are shoving in YOUR face. If you are in an unhappy relationship LEAVE IT and please don't do the "but how will I survive without the house, the money, the car (insert appropriate high end item)", the truth for you people is, easily. I left my husband with £70 to my name and I survived very happily, yes you have to go through some pretty gritty times, but as long as you keep your ego in check, let the past stay in the past and look to making you a brand new happy future, you will, without doubt succeed.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Becoming responsible for yourself is the most empowering thing you can possibly do.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Now, off and empower yourself </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">One day you are 18 full of life, know everything you need to know about the world, how people work and what you want to do with it all . . then 22 years later you wake up confused, not knowing what the hell is going on or how any of it works, and that is where the fun starts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I have had a colourful life so far involving living abroad, living in London, travelling the world on my own, then back to the UK to have babies, get </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">married, build my own home, get divorced, get fat, get fit, get fat again and am still in the process of getting fit but this time doing it rather better than before (even have a teeny bootcamp I teach) then on to find out all about life and how I really tick. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So why this literary vomit? You may be asking. Well, for one thing I have learned a couple of things, tricks et al that should be shared as there may be one person, probably living alone, with a dog called Herbert that needs to read this shit. That person needs to know that brown is a crap colour to have on your walls, matching khaki trousers and top are not sexy and look so dated whether you are male or female and should only be employed as a garment of choice if you are in the military and need to hide behind other faded green things. Life is just too short to be spent wandering around blending into ponds and privet hedges. Oh and a note to goths (yup been there done that), black doesn't stand out either and for your information you are not alternative, it has been going on now for WAYYY too long for that. If you want to be alternative do IT but is "alternative clothing" really to be found in a catalogue? NO you should be brandishing your own uniqueness on the world! Go forth and get brandishing.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So as this is my opening gambit to this my latest attack on the internet I shall off and leave you with this thought.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">No one sees a grey cloud and thinks "that is amazing, that is gorgeous, look at that" however everyone who sees a rainbow does!</span></div>
