There is a saying that goes….. ‘If you fail to plan then you are planning to fail!
The A-team never step out without a plan as Hannibal says, ‘He loves it when a plan comes together!’
This year I want you to feel the same I want you to love it because your plan has come together!
But first you have to plan!
Start with a blank sheet of paper and decide what it is you want to achieve, what are your goals.
Now decide on a time frame for achieving them.
And finally for this section ask yourself, ‘is this goal of mine realistic in this time frame I have set? ‘
Once you have done the above you have completed step 1 you should be able to feel the beginning sparks of success.
By placing your goals down in black and white you have made a map but this is not good unless we have a route to follow to get to our destination.
Planning the route is the hardest part but is the most important. Everyone gets excited by their goal but you don’t have the steps or route to get to your destination you’re likely to get lost on the way.
New sheet of paper required I think or if your green you can write on the back.
I want you to write all the things that you will need to do to achieve the goal. Group them under different headings so that you understand all that is involved in achieving your goals. As you know absolute training is all about healthy weight loss. So if your goal was to lose weight then your headings and list might look a little bit like this:
Diet
- Plan day by day what to eat
- Make a shopping list
- Clear the cupboards of all crap food
- Etc etc etc
Exercise
- Decide what type of exercise I want to do
- Find classes or get a membership
- Place into my diary with the same importance as a business meeting my training days and times
Motivation
Identify all factors that could cause you to have a decrease in motivation.
- Slow results
- No results
- Busy at work
- etc
Support
Build yourself a support network.
- Get a training partner
- Keep a food diary with a friend and compare
- Tell people your goals and time frame and ask tem to help you when you are out with them buy not forcing you to have coffee and a cake or to have that sweet, sticky pudding etc.
Build yourself a strategy for coping with any problems that might appear. For instance always keep nuts in your desk or car, so that if a meeting over runs you have a healthy snack to get you through rather then hitting the garage and a chocolate bar!

Breaking down food particles into small enough pieces that they can pass through the wall of your small intestine and be assimilated into the body. We have a finite ability to produce enzymes but have many environmental factors that inhibit or use up our enzyme capacity. Taking a digestive enzyme is beneficial as it will relieve the stress on our bodies digestive capacity as well as slowing the use of our enzymic capacity.
What is the best diet for you to follow, a high protein one, smoothies shakes and juices, a high carbohydrate diet or a balanced diet….

Your body IS communicating with you… Every minute of every hour of every day it is telling you whether what you have eaten is right or what you have eaten is wrong for your health, fitness or weight loss goals. I’m not just talking about the common sense stuff and that little voice inside your head saying, ‘don’t eat the doughnut it’s bad for you’.
slimming shakes. These are often cleverly disguised junk foods. Yes they are fast and they are convenient but they are nutritionally deficient and are more likely to stimulate you storage mechanisms increasing the about of fat you store around your belly. Remember the diet and food industry only have one agenda…… MAXAMISED PROFITS!
2. I have said it before and I’ll say it again Ab exercises like crunches, sit-ups will not flatten you belly or give you that allusive six pack. They are more likely to give you a
better for your weight loss goals and not have to commit the time that long runs or walk require. How would you like to double or triple your results and only train 30 to 40 mins. In fact the right 20 mins is more effective at burning fat then a 5k run if you do it right. The
5. Low calorie diets! Do they work, well some do and some don’t but generally let’s say yes, you will lose weight on a low calorie diet. But is it the long term answer to your weight problem? I’m going to have to give you the painful truth and say……………………… No, No it’s not. I think that I going to do a whole blog post on this in the near future so I’ll save the low calorie rant for then. Many of our client’s have been on low calorie diets and yet they have still ended up at our door!
Who do you think has the lower body fat Percentage….A marathon runner or a sprinter?
