Dear Friend

I was just thinking about what it means to just go an do it, fortune favours the brave and all that kind of stuff.

Recently as you will all know I've moved gyms (the place is great by the way, first week there I met Lennox Lewis and Micheal Watson, check pics here) but most of you won't know I moved home as well. Now I'm always telling my clients 'Don't think about it, just do it' (sorry Nike's lawyers) and 'there's no excuses, there's always time' but these last few weeks I experienced the other side of the coin. I was running around organising things and basically moving my entire life from 1 place to another, I just couldn't find the time to train! I started to think about all the times I had lambasted people for coming up with excuses to remain as immobile as Michelle McManus and now I was no different... what a hypocrite!

But the most important thing I realised in the end (here comes the lesson) when I finally got my training back on track is, sometimes there may be things that get in the way of you and your targets but none of them last forever, 'After every dark night there's a bright day' I think the old African proverb goes. There is truly no long term excuse for letting yourself dwindle 'you're worth it' (sorry loreal).

So Nike are right 'just do it' don't think about it because all you'll come up with is another excuse.

If you think you may need some help, go here he's good ;-) 

Yours in training

Recipe of the week

The humble omlette

Ingredients:

  • 3 large eggs (yolks as well)
  • Half a red onion
  • Handful of spinach
  • salt & pepper

Directions:

A great meal when you're following a no carb plan, full of protein and healthy fats (forget the old dated ideas that say the yolk is bad). Heat a non stick pan and when it's hot and the mixed ingredients. I like to keep my omelette whole and only turn it once. Serve with salt and pepper to taste. There you go no carb breakfast sorted in less than 15 minutes.

Enjoy
