New Workout and Nutrition Plan Starts Today
For several weeks I have been thinking about, getting ready, to prepare, to start considering, that I might start to workout again. Today’s the Day!
Tony Robbins has said that there are only two ways we as people get motivated. To move toward something pleasurable, I think this is less motivating then the other reason, to move away from pain. I finally have enough pain to move. Recently I have looked at some pictures of myself and let’s just say i have been relatively disgusted at how I look. As well I am concerned with my overall poor health. Today’s the Day!
In the first 30 days I am using Tim Feriss’ Four Hour Body slow carb diet and for my workouts I plan to go back to my favourite workout regime of Crossfit. I hope within 30 days to land on a worthy challenge for me to train for. I just know my personality is such that if I have a challenge to work toward my journey is more sustainable.
I plan to chart my progress and plans on my blog. Hopefully for those of you who know me well and my regular readers you will know I am not doing this to massage my ego. Actually far from it. I have a few family members and a few friends following along with me and I want to make it easy for them to follow along. The biggest reason is to ensure I stay on track. Another quirk in my personality I have learned is accountability is very effective for me. If I put it out there that I am doing this then there is almost no chance I will stray off track. I simply do not want people close to me to ever have the thought that I don’t go through with what I say I will do. Finally, and most importantly I have the hope that many of my current readers or new readers who happen along will be inspired to follow along. This would be super fulfilling for me. After all I think my purpose in life is to create unexpected differences in the lives of people. If a fat out of shape 43 year old can do it so can you will be the encouraging battle cry.
If you are uninterested in this journey then please stick around as I will of course be writing about life, change management, innovation etc. as I always do. Just skip past these posts that are of no interest to you. Cool? Great!
If you can not get a hold of the cookbook on-line for the Four Hour Body let me know in the comments and I will send it to you.

I always find a goal helps. If I sign myself up for a run then I have to get out and prepare for it. It’s kind of like a gym membership for me!
