Body for Life:

Posted by Gavin Reddrop | Sunday, April 29, 2007 | 1 comments »


Some of you may have heard about or even partaken in the body for life 12 week challenge. Well over the next 12 weeks I will be taking up this challenge with some of my work mates. As an inclusion to the 12 week program I will be quitting smoking and I will also be cutting Coca-Cola from my diet.

The program involves a healthy eating program in conjunction with a regular fitness program, The eating plan suggests eating 6 small meals a day to allow your metabolism to remain active all day thus you loose weight. The fitness plan is over 6 days alternating between muscle development and cardio workouts.

Fighting the addiction of caffeine and nicotine will definitely be a challenge I have been smoking since 2003 and I have been drinking coke all my life and not by small amounts I usually drink about 2-3 liters a day at least. I have it as soon as I wake up, for morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner time, and before I go to bed. It’s a bit scary knowing that the first thing I do when I wake up and the last thing I do before I go to bed is have a smoke and a glass of coke.

Well as of NOW (because Tomorrow never comes) that has all changed. With the development of my mindset over the last few months I know that I am at my strongest mentally now than ever before in my life. So now it is time to bring my body up to the level of my mind.

I will keep you up to date on my progress via this blog, It will not be easy going cold turkey on this but I have plenty of support and I know that I have a great chance of success.

In the mean time wish me luck!!!

    Good on ya man, NOW :) Everything happens NOW. Do it and you'll always go forwards. The real people; the successful ones, are out there doing NOW things, making mistakes and acheiving ANYTHING they desire!
