Hello Friend

I'm preparing for a little mini vacation. I've bought a
jeep from a friend in Phoenix and am flying down to pick it
up and drive it home. It's a 2 day drive. I have some friends
attending a convention in Las Vegas next week, so I thought
I would fly to Vegas for a few days, spend some time with
them, then fly over to Phoenix, so that's what I'm doing.

I'll be on the road for 2 days listening to the new Joe Vitale
CD's I just received in the mail.

Lots going on in the forum and a winner was picked for this
first natural health and we-ight lo-s-s scavenger hunt.

I hope all is well with you, please read this from top to
bottom, there's a LOT of great info in this issue.

Namaste
Rob

PS. there are going to be a couple of differnt versions of
links in here for the same thing because I'm not sure which
ones work and which ones don't in your email program.

I'm doing my best to provide you with the resources and the
links, so any feedback about links that don't work is
appreciated.

2. Scavenger Hunt Winner

Jessie from the forum is the winner of the first scavenger hunt on
my websites.

She found the hidden icon in just a few days referring to herself
as "such a ninja".

Jessie goes by the handle "Blush" in the forum and being the only
person to find the icon in this inaugural natural health and
weight loss scavenger hunt , won her prize, a copy of Tom Venuto's
Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle.

I just bought it for her and am sending it as soon as I find out
where she wants me to send it to. It's a 4.5 meg file including
all the bonus material.

The icon for the July scavenger hunt was located on this page

http://www.formerfatguy.com/ezines/Issue009-15-may-05.asp or
www.formerfatguy.com/ezines/Issue009-15-may-05.asp

I'm going to leave it there for the day so you know that it
really was there, and to go see what sort of thing you're looking
for. It will not count for the August hunt.
I sent out a clue to the scavenger hunt members on Monday, but
it was still not found by anyone else.
Congratulations Jessie
The August Scavenger hunt begins today. The icon has been hidden
again. For more info read the scavenger hunt rules and make sure
you PM me in the forum so I know what it is you're playing for
ie: what do you want me to buy for you?

3. Change Your Thoughts Change Your Life

A friend from the UK contacted me recently. He's been a long
time reader and was upset at me for not writing enough about what
I do every day, how I think, what I eat and how I train. I
explained to him that recently I've been writing more in the
forum than on my blogs.

He's a biker. A pedal biker and goes by the handle "Painted Man"
to honor a good friend of his who was killed while in a cycle
race in the UK by a drunk driver.

He created his own blog to write his journey, his path and what's
going on in his life. He and his wifey recently had twin girls.

I've been reading his blog.

He posted one day and used the phrase:

"I had planned to punish myself for bad food last night by riding
into work and out of work."

I commented on his post and this was what I said

"Change your focus, change you life buddy.

You consider working your body through exercise to be punishment.
Then all exercise becomes punishment doesn't it?

consider rewarding yourself by honoring your body and working
it... making it stronger and better.

change your focus, change you life.

Instead of dwelling on a bad meal the night before, focus on the
day ahead and making good food choices. Lean protein, Good Fats
and vegetables... get rid of the starchy carbohydrates and you
will remove cravings for shit food.

change your focus, change your life.

Plan each day, honor your success' each day. Look at everything
you did right. You can choose to focus on what went wrong, or
what went right.... which do you choose?

each night, write out 3 things that you did successfully that day
and honor them. Honor yourself for striving to be better."

Where attention goes, energy flows. If you look at such a
positive aspect of physical fitness as punishment, you'd steer
clear of it wouldn't you? Put a positive spin on it, and the
energy changes and you're attracted to it.

So, a few days go by and then I get an email from Joe Vitale
explaining that Wayne Dyer's new book "Change Your Thoughts
Change Your Life " was released.

Coincidence? nope.

Miracle? yep.

I'm talking about it and then I get an email about the very
subject? Do you think I am being told I should get the book?
Yep. I Put it into my shopping cart on Amazon.

http://www.formerfatguy.com/books/wayne-dyer/change-thoughts-change-life/

Then, an hour later I get an email from my girlfriend showing me
that a new book by Wayne Dyer was released called "Change your
Thoughts, Change Your Life".

So that just hammered home the principle and I now positively
know I was supposed to get the book and now I'm suggesting it to
you.

http://www.formerfatguy.com/books/wayne-dyer/change-thoughts-change-life/ or

www.formerfatguy.com/books/wayne-dyer/change-thoughts-change-life/

This is all a part of manifesting and creating your reality. You
attract exactly what it is that you want. I'm reading the book
Attractor Factor by Joe Vitale right now and purchased a CD set
he offered as well. I Just got it in the mail today which is
perfect as I can listen to it while I'm driving back from Phoenix
next week on my 2 day drive.

Here's the link to Joe's book The Attractor Factor.

I have an entire section in my forum on Inspiration and
Motivation. It includes a section where members are sharing 3 of
their personal success' for each day. It's just success
stories.. nothing else. Want to know what sort of success'
people are sharing? Check it out, we'd be glad to have you
aboard.

4. A Calorie By Any Other Name
By Joshua Carter

Many years ago I had a discussion with a personal trainer
colleague of mine. I was young and hungry, and he was definitely
more established than I at the time. He had some really nice
training programs that yielded some decent results. The thing was
he didn’t know squat when it came to nutrition. His basic
philosophy was "calories in , calories out." That is the basic
methodology of many trainers and nutrition centers. It can work,
to a point, but back to my story. He was saying that basically
his clients can eat whatever they want, so long as the they
burned more calories than they took in. He did not care what the
macronutrient ratios were, just the caloric total. Ok, so I gave
him a challenge. Pick any 2 clients, put them on a 2000 calorie
diet. One client can only eat Frosted Flakes. The other client
could only eat lean chicken and broccoli. Put them on the same
training program and see who loses the most fat after 4 weeks.
Not surprisingly he did not take the challenge. He insisted that
it was all math, and that so long as the calories coming in were
less than the calories being expended, the client would lose fat.
I knew I would never change his mind, so I left it at that.

Now let me explain why I am right. Total caloric intake is only
PART of the whole picture. Everyone is different. And everyone
will have a different hormonal response to a given food. Let me
give you an example.

6. Nice Things People Say

You'd have to agree that it's really nice to hear nice things.

just you and you're awesome! Just stay real....we all get in a
funk...now and then...love that you share so much because you're
well thought of....I read the articles...life is busy of
course..but I always make time for shakes and my daily couple of
teas. Don't worry about contacting me..I know..that if I need
you..you'll be there...love the parting phrase..you're just so
cool!!!!!!!!!

I bow to you too!!!!!!!

Lorry xo

Holy Crap Rob!

I NEEDED to let you know how your messages help
me through my journey to a better health. SO far, I've lost 75
pounds out of the 215 I plan to lose. I am already "thin" in my
mind lol lol...but one thing is sure : I am in better shape I
ever been. I train 90 minutes a day and I LOVE it. I eat
good...VERY good things and I am just totally thrilled !

and...I thank you...deeply...you do not know it but you and your
past and your present MEAN a LOT, a huge lot to me.

Have a nice weekend

Lucie xx

I guess they just let me know that I'm doing some good. That's
why I continue.

Highly Recommended By Rob...

The single most important factor in taking action on anything in
your life is to empower yourself! I was able to lower my stress
levels about money, relationships and take my business to the
next level after taking the M-illionaire Mind Intensive offered
by T.Harv Eker. This is a 3 day intensive workshop that will
recondition yourself for "automatic" success.

Courses offered in Alberta, California, British Columbia,
Washington, New York, Atlanta, Dallas, Detroit, Denver, New
Jersey, Toronto, Montreal and now Florida.
