THE KEY TO BECOMING ALL YOU WERE INTENDED TO BE.

THE PURPOSE…

The purpose of this book is to provide the trigger for getting you from where

and what you are,to where you want to go and what you would like to become.

The fact that you are reading these words is a good indicator that you feel you

need to change some part of your life. Perhaps you’ve had it with being over weight,or tired and lacking motivation or having to apologize to your children for not having the energy to play with them after work. The continuation of this type of problem will not likely change until you’ve changed, and unless you do, you may find the problem has taken its toll in some other areas of your life as well.

If while reading these words, you are satisfied that finances are not a problem, thenread on , for surely, having adequate money is no assurance of happiness. If yourwife or husband is no longer providing joy in your life then you’re not successful.

If you don’t like your occupation or if its controlling an excessive amount of your time, you’re not successful. If you’re overweight and you often feel depressed and are considered over weight, your not successful.

In essence, if you are not at a point in your life that you expected to reach at an earlier age, then you’ve gotten off track. If Friday is more important than Monday then you’ve gotten off track. If you’re not paid what you think your worth, or if you have more talent then your present job lets you use then you are off track.

The key…

The key to “getting back” lies in setting your own well defined business and personal goals. If you don’t have them written down at this moment in a form that you review each day, and constantly carry with you, then your life is going to be a series of unconnected events….accidental occurrences!

The chance of you becoming all you were intended to be is remote, without goals. You will continue to drift, being blown by the winds of circumstance and always fitting into the plans of someone else.

This book is designed to change all aspects of your life, but reading is not enough.

Deciding to work on it, or complete it tomorrow, or next week is not enough. Your going to have to reschedule appointments, or revise your schedule, or what ever it takes, right now! It’s going to take you about 4 hours and maybe much, much more.

There will never be the “right time” if your to busy today, then you’ll be to busy tomorrow.

This moment is to critical in your life to set off. Don’t bother to read any furthermore unless you’ve made the firm commitment to complete the task.

If you’re committed then turn the page, if not then quit right now and place this book on the shelf with all the other partially read books that you have bought with good intentions. Go on to the office, turn on the TV, go out on the patio, or whatever else turns you on, but don’t waste your time. It’s results that count, not good intentions; decisions, not procrastination; action, not mental laziness.
For those of you who hold a pencil in your hand at this very moment…

congratulations! For those of you who just simply turned the page out of curiosity, or for some other casual reason, please save your time. What you’re about to read will have absolutely no value, because it isn’t meant to read; it’s meant to stimulate your thinking through your answers to some rather probing questions.

The pages which follow must be completed by you, while alone, and with enough time to answer in detail. There is no “proper answers” or amount of time for any question. Simply spend enough time for you to feel comfortable with the result.

Hopefully, you’ve selected a comfortable place free from interruption by telephones, family members or friends, or any other distraction which will break your concentration or cause you to drift away from your personal feelings about yourself and your reflections into your past and glimpses into your future. Lets begin now to rediscover those feelings we once had about life.

YOUR PERSONAL GOALS

NOTE: The following guidelines must be followed in preparing your personal list of goals on the following page.

1. Do not consider prices, or other obstacles in preparing your goal list. They should be your

spontaneous wishes, much like a child preparing a Christmas list.

2. Write as fast as possible. You’ll find the list will develop slowly in the beginning, but after a short time, ideas will come to the surface, which you haven’t thought of in years.

3. Impose a limit on yourself. Try to achieve one hundred items within a 30 min. period from the time you begin.

4. The items, which you write in response to the first question, should include:
A. The things you want to have
B. Things you want to see
C. Things you want for someone else
D. Places you would like to visit
E. Things about yourself (weight loss etc.)

5. Remember, the list should include things that you want that you do not now have.

6. There is no need to be specific during the preparation of your list. For example, a new Mercedes Benz need not include all of the accessories, or color. This will come later under a different section of this book.

Now, turn the page, read the first question, and begin “planning your better future”.

How to Achieve your weight lose goals

You must admit that we live in a fast food society. Right, I’ll agree, it’s almost impossible to avoid junk food all of the time, I know everyone is tired of the diet roller coaster. I’m sure you’re aware that about 95% of all dieters will regain their lost weight after only a short period of time. You may even be a living testament to this statistic.

There is a simple reason for this. Let me try to explain, say for instance, you begin a diet, in the beginning, you stick to the program, and you invariably lose some weight. During this time, however, your metabolism has slowed due to the reduced calories. So what happens when you slip off your diet for a few days? The weight begins to creep back on. You’ve seen it happen. Now here’s the proof.. You see, lets say that your metabolic rate is lets just say a 5, for explanation purposes only, and lets say that that 5 represents 1500 calories, now lets just say that you eat 1800 calories the difference between 1500 and 1800 is 300 right? Well you are storing 300 calories per day or 1 lb every 10 days. Everything that you do not use for energy is stored, as fat for future fuel for the bodies needs. Now lets assume that you are on a caloric restrictive Diet, for lets say 1-month well guess what? The body being the resilient tool that it is has slowed down to the amount of calories that you were giving it called (Adaptation) the body has been in a calorie depletion mode for a while that it adapted to the current caloric intake. The body does this so that it can live in the current environment that surrounds us.

We are primitive creatures going back thousands perhaps millions of years. Evolution has occurred and guess what? We are always changing to compete in our environment. Most of the evolutionary changes occurred with our thinking capacity, yes we became smarter, however our bodies are changing as well, that would explain why in some cultures you can live on a bowl of rice for years without starving to death. I know… I know… I have heard this all before, however, I know that this happens, and almost any medical journal will support this theory, So, many times, you end up gaining more weight than you originally lost to begin with eating less food then you did after your diet ended, this is the only thing that could explain the (why) this happens. Weight control and fitness just boil down to education motivation and experience. For me losing a few unwanted pounds is as simple as taking out the garbage however, I might add it is never easy, because results occur from the “doing of a thing”. I’ll Explain, my wife and I recently took a vacation to Hawaii, we had it planned in January of 2008 we were to leave in May however I know that I could have lost about 15 lbs to look good in a swim suit… well as it turned out I kept procrastinating and finally didn’t start my eating program until April…. Yes I lost the 10 lbs but I could have looked better had I started in January. I just didn’t take action. Now lets turn the page, I believe, as we analyze all of the different products and services for weight reduction on the market, I think it’s fair to say, they all revolve around two aspects, exercise and nutrition. There are many different programs such as: liquid diets, diet pills, regulated and controlled diet plans, prepackaged meals, protein drinks and supplements, and varying types of weight loss equipment. Many of you have probably tried one or all of these different products. And were probably disappointed with the results I believe in education, that old saying goes “ Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day or Teach a man how to fish and feed him for a life time”, that’s what the other programs on the market give you, they give you a fish instead of teaching you how to fish. I know I have found the correct balance between these two essential aspects. First, you must have the proper foods to eliminate your body fat and, regulate the body functions just as important, is the proper form of exercise to increase your metabolic rate and increase muscle tone and flexibility. Dieting is not enough! Our bodies are very adaptable and will change almost immediately to adapt to its environment. Let me explain what makes my philosophy so unique. First, I believe in keeping the protein levels high and your carbohydrates and fats low during your first three or four-day cycle on the program.

The reason for this is to induce your body into slight ketosis. Ketosis is when your body will burn Protein for energy after it uses up its carbohydrate stores, which are readily available in the blood stream. After its stores are gone, it must find and burn another source for energy. If you do not stay in a high protein mode, your body will find another source, stripping away the muscle tissue in the body. The body does not only burn protein, it also burns stored fat. The result will be a body with very little muscle tone with a higher then average looking body fat. However, if high protein levels are maintained, it will utilize protein for cell replication and other bodily functions it will also burn the protein that you’ve consumed for energy also using stored body fat for energy as well. Because a protein molecule has less water then a carbohydrate molecule this will result in a quick three to five pounds of water reduction during the first week or so you are using up your Carbohydrate stores. As the body metabolizes protein, if you include fat burning exercise, the body will burn energy faster. It can then convert protein to needed sugar, however protein is hard to convert to glycogen and the body will not really utilize only protein. Your body will have to find another source of energy.

This being, you guessed it, body fat. Your body will not only burn excess protein for fuel but will also strip off another fuel source, that would be body fat that is stored on the frame for an emergency fuel source that the body has stored. For that just in case, famine now let’s not forget, remember, our bodies are prehistoric, so the only other source of energy that the body has is body fat. So that the body does not adapt to the current caloric intake on the fourth day, just for one meal only, consume only carbohydrates, and fats and little protein. This will reload the system with carbohydrates and fats so that the body cannot adapt to the program of the low carbohydrate diet. There are only a few things between you and the body that you want and that’s education, motivation and aspiration only you can decide to get off the couch and turn time into productive time.

5 QuickTips To Stay Motivated When Dieting

Many people take on a eating program with enthusiasm and luster but fail to reach there goals.

I have found that applying a few simple strategies makes it much easier and simpler to achieve.

Tip # 1

If you do not buy it you can not eat it…

Usually when we break the chains of any diet or eating program it usually occurs when we least expect it. I find that when most people have an urge to raid the refrigerator it usually occurs later in the evening. If it is not in the house most of us will not change from our pajamas to our street clothes to run to the store to quell our appetite.

Tip #2

Announce to your family that you need help with your diet.

Most family members give great support when they know that you want to achieve a goal, so do tell your children and husband that support from them would be appreciated.

Tip #3

Buy a bike chain and lock and give the key to your spouse.

I have had many clients of mine actually buy a lock and lock up all the junk food in one cabinet in there kitchen. While not being a perfect solution you may feel guilty for asking your husband for the key to the cabinet, he may gently remind you that you are on a diet and may give you some resistance.

Tip #4

Tell a friend, it is your goal to lose 20,30 or how ever much weight you want to lose.

Trust me on this, every time that you see your friend she or he will ask you how much weight you have lost and if you are anything like myself you would not have the guts to tell them that you failed.. So tell the world

Tip #5

Put together a goal board with pictures,time frames, etc.

If you are unaware of the out come how are you ever going to arrive at the destination? in other words have a clear and concise destination in mind and dwell on it daily. According to statistics you have 80% better chance of reaching your goal, only about 5% of the population have clearly defined goals in mind, numbers never lie.

There are many other things that you can do to motivate your self when on a diet this is just the tip of the ice berg. Putting together a plan for health weight loss is the key for success when it comes to getting what you want.

Natrual VS Man Made Vitamins

Science is amazing in its ability to duplicate natural things. Man-made fabrics can feel just like fine silk at a fraction of the price. Man-made flooring looks remarkably like prized hardwood, yet is more durable and cheaper.

But when it comes to nutrition, nature has the upper hand. Even the idea that a synthetic, laboratory created vitamin could be a replacement for a natural vitamin supplement is ridiculous.

Natural vitamin supplements start and end with real substances from nature that are known to build up the body. Synthetic vitamins are at best, cheap pretenders.

From a manufacturers perspective, synthetic vitamins can be less expensive to produce – so the profit margin is much higher.

Keeping “natural” in natural vitamin supplements is clearly more expensive to produce but its also more valuable to the consumer.

Nutritional health supplements are no longer relegated to health food stores. You can find vitamin supplements on the shelves at the grocery, discount retailer and even convenience stores.

Too many consumers are fooled into thinking that a product labeled all “natural” or “vitamin supplement” is actually all natural. That’s just not true and uninformed consumers are getting very little nutritional value for their money.

Synthetic vitamins want to dress up and look good, while natural vitamin supplements are less interested in putting on a show.

Synthetic vitamins add artificial coloring or flavors, which are not found in natural vitamins. They also play another chemical game which is “a little bit goes a long way”.

A synthetic Vitamin C can be made with large amount of starch. Since starch is a natural substance, the synthetic Vitamin C can be called “all natural”.

The question is, which do you think is more natural: starch or the bioflavinoids that come from a real orange? If your buying a vitamin supplement because you want whole food vitamins, is that what you get with synthetics?

Laboratories have produced wonder drugs and many useful items. Nature produced even more wonder drugs in the form of plants and herbs. Chances are, we don’t even know all of the possibilities for healing from natural substances.

Take for example, Sea Aloe, found in pure, cold waters of the ocean. This powerful antioxidant delivers high potency from a small amount of liquid daily. Since our bodies are natural, it makes sense to sustain wellness with legitimately natural supplements.

Vitamins that are out of date are not dangerous to a persons health. These vitamins simply lose
their effectiveness and potency. According to Dr. Steven Strauss, author of “Your Prescription and
You”, chemical analysis is the old true way to find out if a vitamin has lost is potency.

Dr. Strauss explains that the only other possible way to know if the vitamins are not good any longer is if there is a change in the color, the taste, the smell, or its physical appearance.

Not only is the correct storage and handling of vitamins important;equally important is the actual
usage of the vitamins.

It is wise to first speak with a doctor to verify the best vitamins and/or supplements for a persons body and lifestyle. If prescription drugs are being taken, some vitamins and minerals can cause both mild and severe drug interactions.

In addition, make sure that before purchasing vitamins and/or supplements, the instructions are read carefully.

The most helpful discount vitamin websites will give a breakdown of the name,ingredients, color, size and correct usage and dosage of each vitamin. These sites also provide additional information about news and events in the vitamin industry as well as articles pertaining to vitamins, supplements and minerals.

Go online today and explore the wide-variety of discount vitamins, minerals and supplements
available.

To learn more about the specific ones of interest, take the opportunity to read some of the articles and learn about news and events taking place in the industry. Discount vitamins and other supplements are vital to good health. With exercise, vitamins and a healthy diet, a person can live their life to the fullest potential.

Sort of Easy Weight loss

By Daniel Moser

Owner Sweat Fitness Center

There is an old saying in the health and fitness industry, “You can’t out train a bad diet.”  In other words,
the diet is 80% of how much weight you lose, of how you feel and look, how much energy that you have, etc.
I firmly believe that you are what you eat.  If you eat a diet of empty calories (junk) that is how you will
feel and look.  I always say if you can’t pick it off a tree, dig it out of the ground, shoot it with a rifle,
catch it with a hook and sinker then you should not eat it.  Sure, there are times when the temptations of opening
a bag of chips or going to a fast food restaurant are almost unavoidable but make sure that they are planned ahead
of time.  I believe that being healthy and staying healthy is very simple process.  Take a look at these five
simple steps:

1. Take a look at how much you are eating now.

2. If you are not losing weight or heading toward your goals, adjust your diet accordingly.

3. Eat plenty of fruits, nuts, fish, chicken, eggs and vegetables. Don’t eat from a box or a bag, These
foods are dead and have no or  very little nutritional value.

4. Give your self one treat “meal” per week to look forward to.  Don’t make it a treat “day”. Just one meal to
look forward to.

5. Plan ahead by spending a few hours on the weekend to plan your meals for the week. Try cooking it all at
once and putting the  prepared food in containers for later.  All it takes is a little effort for a big return.

Most people really do pretty good on steps 1-3 but mess up on step 4.  Don’t continue eating all day long,
just one meal per week.  By following my advice, you won’t really feel like you are depriving yourself of
eating some of the foods that you want.  Secondly, if you know that you can have a bowl of ice cream on
Saturday you will be more committed on your diet on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Also, watch your
snacking around the house when relaxing or watching T.V.  Plan ahead with snacks like fresh vegetables,
hot air popcorn or other low calorie foods.  Remember to stay away from fruit drinks or other condensed
drinks which usually have high concentrations of sugar and low nutritional value.

Combine my 5 Simple Rules with a least 3 workouts per week (resistance and interval training) and you will
have a very manageable fat-loss plan.
