The New Studio

Hi all
Just a quick update about the new personal training and fight center that EDGE FIRST is opening in ERINA.
I have spent the last few days putting the ring together and believe me when I say it has been an experience.
The BOULDERING cave is constructed and just needs to be painted and have the holds bolted on.
The POLE DANCING STUDIO is also almost finished.
I will soon be posting photo's

KICKBIKING THE COAST FOR THE FIRE VICTIMS

Hi All,
Thanks for dropping by.
We all have seen the devastation that the bushfires have brought upon the people of Victoria. To offer much needed support, I am asking for sponsors of my KICKBIKING THE COAST fundraiser.
For the uneducated, a kickbike is a large scooter. I have 12 of these available and would like to put together an event, where we have two teams using the coasts cycle ways to raise money for the bushfire victims.
So if you have some free time on Sunday the 22nd of FEB why not register for one of the teams.
I would like to have three teams of two adults and two children if possible.
If you are not the kicking type but would like to take part you can sponsor a rider, a cycleway or just make a donation.
We are also calling on businesses to get behind us and sponsor a team or rider.
For more detail please contact Daran on 43229227 or 0432183138.

Getting Lean. Personal trainer style.

Hi All
Here we are in the 4th week of the "getting lean personal trainer style" program.
What I want to talk to you about today is guilt associated with the cheat day.
I spent the whole weekend doing a kettlebell instructor's course and having to eat cafeteria food. The menu included white bread wraps, white bread foccacia and cake with bad coffee.
Actually the saturday wasn't such a bad thing because I took some food with me, sunday on the other hand I had no food prepared so therefore was resolved that I would have to eat cafeteria food.
When I am presented with this kind of problem I always make it work to my advantage, I make it my cheat day. I try to stay with in reason and not go for the chocolate cake with the chocolate milkshake, sometimes this isn't always easy. You see, refined sugar has become the number one addiction in the western world and like most addictions it only takes one "bust" for the addiction to be activated again. So the thing to be aware of is this, if your cheat day contains a lot of the food that you have the most trouble resisting on your food plan days, you will make it very hard to get back on to the plan and avoid the bad stuff. Now if you add a big helping of guilt to the sugar, you will be at risk of emotional eating and nobody ever ate a carrot to stave off the emotions! Emotional eating looks something like this, "oh well, I've eaten two tim tams, I may as well finish the pack now".
So what do you do if you aren't watching and all of a sudden you notice that you have inhaled the whole pack and washhed it down with 2 litres of flavoured milk as well?
First, acknowledge that you have slipped up, that it is not the end of the world.
Second reconfirm what it is you are trying to achieve by being on the eating plan in the first place.
Third make a commitment to begin eating healthily from the next meal. Don't resolve to do well tomorrow, take action straight away.
Listen, I have guilt feelings with every single one of my cheat days, and a lot of the time they are not always that bad. I take this to mean that I am on the right track.
Most important is that you don't beat yourself up, if you get it right 90% of the time, you are a success.
Keep it up.
Daz.
