Fat Loss Lifestyle Blog

This is a follow up to my last post on goal setting. My clients and I have accomplished some incredible things through living the Fatloss Lifestyle.

Goal setting and visualization has always been a part of my athletic career and now my career as a fitness professional.

In fact I believe it to be so important; every client that hires me must utilize my goal setting and visualition exercise. I want you to use it too.

One client dropped 11 inches off his waist in a year while gaining 20 lbs. of muscle. Another client stopped all symptoms of Myotonic Dystrophy dead in its tracks while taking 3 inches off his waist. Another client lost 7 inches off her waist and 5 off her hips (all from 3 hours of exercise per week) and went from fat to slim and sexy. She also started her own business and left her dead end job. You see, when you change your body, you also change your mind and your life.

I have achieved some pretty lofting goals because of goal setting and visualization.
I have:
Been a full time fitness professional for the last 9 years (after being a full time truck driver
for UPS for 18 years)

Been a professional “Drug Free For Life” competitive body builder in the WNBF for 12 years.
(and I have bad genetics for body building; thick joints, and a slow metabolism and I only
have one kidney).

5 Fitness Business’s that are profitable. 4 of them are on-line that make money while I sleep
(I was raised by a blue collar father and was a blue collar laborer for 18 years. I thought the
the only way to make a living was to put in hours (sweat) for money.

I am more balanced between business, relationships, and health & fitness than ever before at
the age of 44.
(At times in the past I was so out of balance that I almost went crazy. I actually went on an
anti-depressant med for a while)

I am now more in love with my wife than ever before. We have been married for 15 years.
I am now a better father than I have ever been to my two daughters Kiana and Lexi.
(I fell out of love with my wife and was not a very good father in the past)

I had a 14 year football career. One year of semi-pro and tried out for the 1988 Chicago
Bears. I still hold the All Time Tackle Record (532 tackles) for Olivet Nazarene Univ. and
I was inducted into the Olivet Sports Hall of Fame (22 years after I graduated.
(I am slower and less athletically inclined than most other athletes)

I am in the best fitness condition of my life and I have more real energy (no caffiene) than
I ever have before. And I look younger than I did 5 years ago.

I am more confident than ever that I am going to live long and strong to the age of 125

I tell you these things not to impress you, but to impress upon you that your mind is so much more powerful than you know.

One of the keys to having anything and everything that you want in life is to you believing that you can and do deserve it. Because when you believe something deep down in your core with an absoulute sense of certainty; then it will most likely become true for you. Even if it goes against the
laws of nature, God, or science.

Below is a simple form that I want you to fill out and personalize for you.

Commitment Sheet (This is a commitment to yourself)
A pact that you will do everything within your power to peak your health & fitness
So you will thus be able to peak in all the other areas of your life: Your mind body & soul are directly connected.

I _________; am very excited about my NEW, HEALTHY LIFESTYLE that Darin & I have created together.

On ___________ (6,5,4,3,2,1) weeks away from my retest and photo shoot I will have:
Goals
1. Lost _____ lbs. of fat
2. Gained ___ lbs. of muscle
3. Lost ____inches of my waist (at navel)
4. Gained ____ inches on each arm
5. Lost ____ inches off of buns
6. ____________ ( improve any physical issue that you may have with your body)

Emotional Reasons
So that: 1.) I can get off blood pressure medication
2.) I can attract a soul mate
3.) I can have more real energy and productivity
4.) I can improve my sex life
5.) I can increase my body and self image and hold my head up high

The emotinal reasons above are generic. Think of your own emotional reasons why you want to peak your fitness and your health. It is the why to the what. If you want to change your body and your life you must see what you want and fell the emotions of already having it in the theatre of your mind.

Cut out a physique of body out of a fitness magazine and tape your head on it. Keep it around. Put it on the fridge, put one on your work station. You need to be able to close your eyes and see the lean body as it is your body. See the body while you are reading your committment sheet outloud (with a strong positive voice).

You must do this exercise right before bed and first thing in the morning. These two times are most important because you are in the “alpha” wave state. Everything that you think of at these two times will be replayed 15-20 times in the middle of the night when your brain is “cleaning the files during REM”. Experiences outside the alpha wave state will be replayed only 3-5 times.

So when you focus on “What You Want” in the alpha wave state you will be using self hyptonsis or auto suggestion. Do not go to bed and focus on what you don’t want or being mad at someone or something. This is a big no no.

In summary, you do have the power to change. You do have the power to stand up and take control of your body, health, business, and life. No matter what age. I left UPS and took a 100% commision job as a personal trainer at the age of 36 with a stay at home housewife, 2 kids, living paycheck to paycheck. You can do anything that you want to do. But the mind is the first place to start exercising.
YOUR BODY CAN NOT GO WHERE YOUR MIND HAS NOT YET BEEN!

Use this commitment sheet. It works.

Your healthy lifestyle coach,
