4yr old gives $2 to MOvember!!

You may or may not know that it is MOvember month in NZ and Aussie!

What is MOvember?
MO replaces No for MOvember! Mo = Moustache! So for 4wks of the year you grow a MO!

Why?
Movember is about raising the awareness of Health issues (Prostate Cancer) in Men!
Did you know that men live 4yrs less then females and we also access Health Services 30-40% less then females!!

So I'm doing my bit by growing a MO and raising awareness and $$ for Prostate Cancer. I'm paying it forward to the time me having to get a check up!

Plus I'm communicating with my EGO so when the time comes and check up is required (for any health issue that may arise) I won't allow myself to take the road of, "Their ain't nothing wrong with me, I'm sweet as. Just harden up!!" Like so many of our fellow EGO men!

After talking with my son Kayleb, "what's that dad on your face and why....?" After explaining to him about MOvember, I asked if he would donate some of his pocket money he gets for doing this chores!

He agreed, and has given the money we would normally put in his piggy bank to the cause!
So help me raise awareness of the "harden up bro" mentality for our fellow men and spread the word, that a 4yr old gave some of his pocket money!

500 people donate $10 that's 5k and I've reached 1 of my goals :-)

I raised almost $2,500 for Child cancer in 6days 2yrs ago so I really don't see why I couldn't achieve 5k!!

Remember $10 x 500 people will hit the mark! Click here to not let Kayleb be the only one to give!

I PROMISE you if you give with an open heart, you will get double your return! It may not be in $$ but I PROMISE you, you will get a return far greater then $10 can ever buy!!

Did you know, MO's make you stronger? They sure do ;-)

Told you, 30kg Bicep Hammer Curl. ;-)

Yeah right!!

Food is Fuel!!

I just finished recording what I ate for 9days, I assessed 7 of them from Monday to Sunday! I learn t allot more then I thought I would about "myself" by recording my food. I haven't done this for a long time, however clients where asking me what I ate.

Plus my partner is amazed how I can throw food down my gob!!! So I thought "what the hell, why not after all, I get all my clients to record their food consumption! :-)

My results for 7days was 88% adherence to the nutrition programme (ideal is 90%) click here to read 7 Rules of fatloss to see what I was following.

What I learn't in greater depth by recording:

• NO preparation = NON adherence
  
• Confirms my belief of, I LOVE food :-)
• Food bill goes up!
• Preparation, Preparation, Preparation
• Pre-made meals rule!!

On the Sunday I had 4 NON compliant meals, I ate 5-7 times per day, I had fish oil with every meal.

Spida's typical day of eating:

• 5:30am: Protein Smoothie (Frozen berries, banana, orange, plain yogurt, Vitamineral Green, Whey protein 2 scoops, flaxseed oil, milk)
• 7:30-9am: Chicken Salad (home made cooked roast chicken shredded it in with raw veggies = Cauliflower, brocalli, spinich, carrots, silver beat, avacado, any veggie that I brought, no limits on it)
• 11-11:30am: Protein Bar/Mix (home made, was actually more like a porridge = Wheat flake rolled oats, mixed nuts, whey protein, cranberries, honey, maltexo and water mixed. I added too much water so it didn't set like a bar)
  
• 1-2pm: Chicken Salad
• 4-5pm: Protein Mix/Bar
• 7-8pm: Chicken Salad or cook something else with carbs if I trained
• 9:30-10:30pm yogurt with almonds, raisins with 1 scoop of protein powder

Other meals: Home made Fruit salad (apple, orange, banana) in plain yogurt with 1-2scoops of protein powder on it. Quick and easy and yummy!!

Supplements:

• Fish Oil with most meals
• Anti Oxidant
  
• Zinc double strength at 9:30pm often with Ashwagandha.
  

Training:

• Resistance Training 1 x Upper body, 1x Legs, 1x arms
• BJJ 2x in that week
• Mediation 5x per week

I don't count calories because I find that by following the 7 Rules of fatloss their is NO need to count calories because it's taken care of itself through good habits!!

Food is a form of fuel, so get over the fact you don't like ..... often I don't like raw veggies however I've taught myself to enjoy them! I ate once because of "emotions" I was grumpy and hungry I brought some chocolate and paid the price as I got a headache from the sugar rush!!

Nutrition is a mindset, just like training, achieving a goal! You CAN'T be normal and do normal things with your mates if they aren't on the same page, it's not that they don't care it's that you are looking to progress/achieve something you don't have!

MOvember is here...

MOvember is here and I'm on a mission to raise over $2000 for Prostate Cancer Foundation!

In order for me to achieve this, I need you to make a donation by clicking on the pictures then once you have kindly donated your moolah please forward this page on to everyone else in your address book!

Spam them I don't care, like I said I'm on a mish to raise OVER $2000 and to make this happen I need your help! I can only "reach" so many people and that's what friends are for right to help?!! :-)

Remember all proceeds go to Prostate Cancer Foundation and MO's are back in fashion, well for a month anyway?!

Like my MO? Can't say I do but hey what the hell, don't judge me before you know me :-)
Here's a couple of facts about Prostate Cancer in NZ!!

• Every year in New Zealand 2,656 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer and about 600 die of the disease, making prostate cancer the second largest cause of male cancer deaths, after lung cancer.
  
• The average life expectancy of a man in New Zealand is 4 years less than a woman.

All donations are made directly to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of New Zealand who will use the funds to create awareness, increase support networks for those men who suffer from prostate cancer, fund research and scholarship programs.

Me and most people reading this post (before you share it with your list) will be to young to "think" about prostate cancer so think of it as Paying it forward!

7 Rules of FAT loss!

Here's the 7 Rules of FAT loss, nothing but TRUTH behind losing fat without any "extras" added on.

1. Do Compound Exercises in a Interval fashion that doesn't allow full recovery for your resistance training 3x per week! Time invested 60mins x 3 = 3hrs
   
2. Do 20min Interval cardio training 2x per week that doesn't allow full recovery followed by 20mins power walk/jog/run. Time invested =40mins x 2 = 1hr 20mins
3. Eat every 2.5hrs from time you wake
4. Eat Protein with every meal
5. Eat veggies with every meal (learn to love the green veggies)
   
6. Consume starchy carbs ONLY after training i.e. potatoes, bread, pasta, rice
7. Do this 90% of the time every day for 4wks
   

You have the foundations of what to do, how will you complicate to make it unattainable?
Knowing and doing are NOT the same so make a choice and make it happen!

Another 4yrs.....

To be honest I'm not surprised we lost or I should say HOW we lost, I just never thought it would be against France in a 1/4 final!!

I thought we "may" lose in the semi or final but France proved me right (the buggers) in the earliest exit of a All Black team!

The All Blacks are the BEST team in the world PRE and POST world cup but when the tournament to name the best team in the world arrives we don't have what it takes.

Unfortunately in my opinion we don't have the mindset to "close" out a game when it matters, we have some of the best individual players in the world, however we don't have the maturity to play at a level above anybody else when it matters as we have had in the past!

If we compare the 1987 world cup winning team to 2007 team, individually our 07 team you could argue that they would dominate the 87 team, however as a team of "collective heads" the 87 world cup team had a "mindset/maturity" to play above all other factors on the field!

When it mattered most the 1987-1989 team would "shut" out any team to not allow them to play their game and regardless of the ref that particular All Black era would rise above any "ref "or "circumstance" to not allow those factors to play a major role in the game!!

Some "food for thought"

• NZ supporters stop bloody blaming "things/circumstances/ref/coaches. What happen to taking responsibility?
  
• The nation wants coaches blood! Why are we not questioning a new captain, like we have demanded every other world cup loss?

• When the All Blacks Lose, did you know the domestic violence goes UP in this country?

I don't have the answers to HOW to change the mindset/maturity thing, all I know the 1987 world cup team had a maturity/mindset that set them apart from any team in the world.

• Maybe our All Blacks are to young in the skills of life to have the mindset/maturity to close out any team that enters their path?
• Maybe the rest of the world is just catching up?
• Maybe we need to NOT live our dreams of the nation on the boyz that where the All Black jersey?
• Maybe we cotton them up to much because of the nations "expectations"?
• Maybe we as a nation should be the role models of our children and not the All Black jersey?
  

Maybe, maybe, maybe....

All I know is, unfortunately I was bloody right (in my opinion)! Anyway Go South Africa or France and take a chill pill NZ it is just a game after all and the All Blacks are human!

The Attractor Factor

I brought the Attractor Factor in August of 07 by the end of September I had read it 2x and I can see my self reading it again!

Joe Vitale is a contributor to The Secret DVD, in this book he has written as his 5 steps for Creating Wealth (or anything else) from the Inside Out.

Anything that works on the inside out model is something that I'm "interested" in, so if you are of the mindset everything you have is a reflection of what is inside of you in thoughts, emotions, beliefs etc.. then this book is for you!!

Remember it does not matter if your goal is bodyfat, it works from the inside out!! What would be 1 tip from this book be worth to you if you put it into action?
