Pure Innovation

A lot of people praise me for having lost 20 KG’s this year. I get asked how did you do it or what is your secret (Like I am hiding something). I can honestly say there is no secret. Just some common sense.

When I think back to what I have done (And Continue to do) the first thing that springs to mind is developing the Goal, the Want and the Drive to accomplish this hefty goal. I really think in today’s society this is the hardest part of losing weight.

Everyone seems so focussed on the how rather than the why. I can tell you now 99% of all diets work but if you are not prepared or focused or have a strong enough goal. It does not matter one Iota. Not even two Iota’s.

So Step 1 is to Visualize the goal. When I did this It was the 7th of Janurary 2009. I decided to pick a date and a goal that was achievable if I set my mind to it. Here is what I picked.

Goal Date: 25 December 2009
Current Weight : 128KG
Goal Weight: 100 KG

Bonus Goals: Build Muscle, Tone Body

I gave myself a year to lose the weight. Now this is important. How long have you been overweight? Now most people will have to think it is usually 2+ Years easy. For me it would be an easy 6 years. So 1 year to lose 28 KG’s of Fat (Probably more with putting on muscle) is an achievable goal. This is Step one getting the buy in of your subconcious mind.

Step 2 is Visualizing when you know you have succeeded. I chose Christmas Day as my family have a routine that is easy to visualize. I see my self waking up on that day. Stretching in bed with a big smile on my face knowing I had achieved my goal. I get up and get on the scales. and see 99.8KG I jump for joy and do the Joey from friends to myself in the mirror ” How You Doing”. I feel the feeling of how great this feels. The shiver up my spine with excitement. I put on fresh new clothes as a gift to myself.  On this day I see friends I have not seen for a year who are shocked and surprised at just how great I look. We embrase in a warm loving hug….

That is my Visualization. This is how intense it must be. You need to think about this as much as you can. I try and do it each night or at least every few nights or mornings. It is now August and I am sitting at 109KG. Not bad… On track. I also have a lot of muscle which is good. It is all go. In the time to lose weight I have tried different exercises, sports, fasting, low carb, high protein, super foods, low calorie diets and everything inbetween. I have taken what works for me and thrown back the rest.

I have had ups and downs but I know that my goal will be achieved. It is so stronly instilled now in my sub concious there is no way out. In a good way.

I will post up in the next few days a daily Routine that I have developed to show you how my lifestyle goes now.
