*Ladies and gentlemen, phase 3 meeting next Sunday @ 7:30 a.m., lots of stuff to cover. If you are not following this program as RXed you are making a BIG mistake. Like I've said time and time again there is a reason for every single thing we do along the way and it doesn't matter if you have lost 25 pounds (which some of you have) or if you have lost 1 pound... you MUST work the program until the very end. If you have made your own adjustments then it is likely that you will ruin the effect we are trying to achieve in the end... more on this next week.

"A small trouble is like a pebble. Hold it too close to your eye and it fills the whole world and puts everything out of focus. Hold it at a proper distance and it can be examined and properly classified. Throw it at your feet and it can be seen in its true setting, just one more tiny bump on the pathway of life." - Celia Luce

"Motivation gets you going and habits get you there."
Zig Ziglar

Important lesson for everyone: I have taken the last 3 days off on purpose to get ready for my next training cycle which will be quite demanding. In those 3 days I have lost almost 3 pounds... why? Well it's not fat loss - its WATER loss. My body had been in a perpetual state of "recovery" from my workouts which causes tremendous water retention. Now that I'm letting my body FULLY recover, the body starts to let some fluid go. The moral of the story? Stop getting on the scale everyday and taking what you see at face value. If you are training hard your weight will fluctuate on a daily basis... what you need to see is a down-ward TREND.

Me: "Geez Frank you look awesome, how much are you down?"
Frank: "18 pounds so far, down to 187... I'm just doin what you tell me."

We have quite a few clients that had exceptional weight loss after phase 1 and although phase 1 is NOT about the weight loss it IS about doing what we say. Stay with the program, there is a reason we do every single thing we do. Some people are fast responders and some are slow responders. In the end you will ALL respond... no fad diet or "quick fix" will create the opportunity for lasting change the way this will if you stick to it and eventually make it a life-style. We'll show you how to do it all step by step.

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside all people. He said, 'My son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. One wolf is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other wolf is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.' The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: 'Which wolf wins?'The old Cherokee simply replied, 'The one you feed.'
