Monday August 2008 - Week Four Day One - Global Health Challenge

Now we are entering the fourth week we should be in control of our eating habits and more importantly be making conscious choices. For me personally, my challenge is still the caffeine intake but I am allowing myself a little leeway as on the front end of the week I am doing two workouts a day.

I got an email asking me why I was doing this. Being leaner than most people to start with it takes a greater effort for me to see change - and I do want to see change. My ego is as dominant as it is with anyone in my position so I won't lie and say anything else and to get the result I want I need to work that bit harder.

Also I am back teaching Spin classes which I am LOVING !
Talk about wanting to get motivation and an incredibly challenging cardio workout all at once, then if you haven't tried a class, you should. It is not just sitting on a bike but "riding" with a group of people to inspirational music. PLUS you get to burn up around 500 calories which is more than most workouts by far.

This week is my preparation for the real test - week 5 - when I will be very focussed as it is designed to be a "cleanse" and not like the commercial products on the market which are just a limiting intake of food but rather this is a sound and result orientated balance of quality nutrients and pure foods which will get a much better result.

Surely YOU all realize that by only drinking lemon or tea you are "depriving" your human eco system of quality nutrients. Not only that you are not losing any fat !!!

Think about it - then read my blog on the Human ECO Cleanse and why it is so much better.
