Well, at last I have the e-course started with my volunteer trial group who has agreed to take some valuable time from their fun and families and listen to my presentation and work on the assignments. This is a six week course and the calls last approximately 30 to 40 minutes. I am getting excited. As soon as I get the feedback from them, I will be offering it everyone who is interested in reaching their goal weight and maintaining that weight for the rest of their lives.
As I am preparing for these presentations, many things come to mind that I could talk about in the course, but I think I will save that for my blogs, my ezines and my articles. Yes, I am going full blast with this internet communication thing. I am learning about ezines from the ezine Queen, Ali Brown, I am investigating locations to put my articles and will start an e-mail program real soon. My technology savvy still isn't where it needs to be, but I figure the best way to get it there is to jump in and do it and if it isn't right, fix it until it is.
Still exercising five days a week, and getting better. I walk about 2.5 miles a day - about a 16.5 minute mile - but I plan to get that down to 15 minutes at a 5 or 6% incline and then go up from there. I lift approximately 7200 lbs on the exercise equipment that works my legs and arms, which I do one day and approximately 9200 lbs on the equipment that works the back, abdomen, biceps and triceps, which I do the next day. I think I enjoy seeing the statistics as much or more than I do the exercising. It sounds great when I tell someone that I lifted over 4.5 tons, and then have to explain that it is in increments of 80 down to 10 pounds at a time.
Will keep you posted on my e-course and let you know when it becomes ready for market. I plan to offer it for $97.50 which will include the audios and three months of personal coaching. Oh! I almost forgot, my e-book is almost finished and will be ready for distribution (FREE OF CHARGE) within the next week. That was a lot of fun
O.k. that's all for now.

Psych, Psyche, Psyched
You all know that I have started an exercise program, and it s going well, I usually make it to the Y five days a week and workout on the exercise machines as well as the treadmill or the stationary bicycle. There is one machine that I have a hard time with - it's the one that's like a bench press - where you almost lie down and then push up a the weights with the handle bar - if you don't know what I'm talking about, I can't help you, because I can't explain it any better - but anyway, I can only lift 10 pounds on this machine - all the others I have been able to either do more reps or add weight - but not this one, and I have to psych myself up for it just to do 2 sets of 12 reps. I was thinking about that today as I was approaching this machine. I literally have to talk myself into it and then visualize myself doing at least 24 lifts. One day I will increase the weight, but for now I am satisfied just to be able to do the 24 lifts.
As I was thinking about this, I also wondered how many of you have to psych yourself up just to get started on a new eating program that will reduce your body weight to where you want it to be. And then,I wondered how your psyche was affected when you had a bad day and completely blew your eating program - did you beat yourself up over it and then decide that since you already blew the program, you might as well continue eating everything in sight because it wouldn't make any difference. It probably wouldn't help any to tell you that what you have just done is something that is experienced by almost everyone who has ever decided to reduce their weight.
It may not be a desired reaction, but it is a normal reaction - to beat yourself up for not keeping the faith - your faith in you that you have been building. I started to say that it was a rational reaction - but you can rationalize yourself into almost any situation - and come out on top with some sort of a acceptable excuse for your actions. If you have had a "bad eating day" put it behind you and get up tomorrow morning knowing that this will be a better day and that you can psych yourself up for a great day, free from guilt of past transgressions - because psyching yourself up is the same as looking at the day with a POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE!
You just made a mistake, and mistakes can be forgiven and learned from. Even though you had a bad day yesterday, take away from that day only the lesson you learned, and that would be "Do you know why you went off the wagon?" Do just a little analyzing and see if you can pinpoint the reason or reasons you decided you needed to stray a bit, and when you have learned what that reason was, remember it for future reference so you will be aware of it if it pops it's ugly head up again, and then forget the rest - the guilt, the blame, the shame - you just made a mistake
that will not be repeated.
So if this is the day after, psych your pshche and remember you have been psyched by your POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE and go out and slay your dragons with a free and clear mind and the knowledge that today is a new day and a better day.
