Hey it’s Day 13 of the 30 Day Challenge.

I would love to hear from everyone who is trying this challenge.

Even if you haven’t made it, please share your struggles.

What was difficult for you?

How could I have helped you more?

This will really help me as I put together my 30 Day Coaching program for August.

We are all in this together.

Have an amazing day. : )

Scott

Howdy all, it’s Day 12 of your 30 Day Challenge…

How are you doing??

Loni, Helen and Michael…thanks for keeping us posted.

You are an inspiration for all.

Happy Birthday Michael!

By the way, it looks like a lot of people are interested in me coaching them for the next 30 Day Challenge.

I am still working out the details.

However, it would NOT be me giving you a workout program, as some of you have asked.

It would be you picking what YOU want to do for the 30 days, and then me coaching you for the month.

I’ll be teaching you how to stick to it (whatever you pick for your challenge) for 30 days, in good times and in bad.

It’s human nature to give up after just a few days.

I’m going to help you overcome that.

I would love to hear anyone’s thoughts on this. : )

Have a great one.

Scott

I just got this from my buddy Kyle Battis and I wanted to share it with you…

You know what an “AH-HA” moment is right?

It’s one of those times where you come across something that causes a fundamental shift in how you see the world and perceive reality.

Recently Kyle polled some of the members of the Burn The Fat Inner Circle about their Burn the Fat AH-HA’s.

Tom Venuto and Kyle were ‘BLOWN AWAY’ with the response…

(they had over 55 ‘Burn The Fat AH-HA’s‘ submitted!)

Check out all 55 Ah-Ha’s

There are some real ‘gems’ contained in these responses but before I share them with you I wanted to tell you the question that Kyle asked them.

–> He asked them this question:

“Have you ever read a particular paragraph of “Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle,” came across an interesting idea in an article on the Inner Circle, picked out a piece of ‘Venuto-Wisdom’ in one of Tom’s interviews, or came across any other ‘nugget’ that caused you to experience an “AH-HA” moment?

–> Here are five ‘Burn The Fat AH-HA Moments‘ that Kyle and Tom’s Inner Circle Members submitted:

———————-
BURN THE FAT AH-HA #1.
———————-

“Nearly everyone has set up some sort of limitation for themselves simply by deciding what level of discomfort they are willing to put up with. Achieving your dream body takes a lot of work and discipline.

Yet so many people come up with excuses to avoid a workout, or indulge in junk food, or neglect writing out their goals on a daily basis because of lack of time.”

———————-
BURN THE FAT AH-HA #2.
———————-

“The mind is the missing key for most. Honest truth …I bought the book in ‘04, and skipped straight past the goal setting to read about nutrition and training. That was all I thought I needed from the book.

I did not write goals and I just set out to follow the plan. Some short success followed but ultimate failure. When I revisited the book in 2006, the early chapters on goal setting really hit home with me. I set my first goals and a lot of early success followed. It is so critical.”

———————-
BURN THE FAT AH-HA #3.
———————-

“I listened to Tom’s recent interview today about how to get super-lean lots of things are covered in BFFM but the one statement from the interview that stuck out in my mind was that: we live in a reciprocal universe.

You get what you put into it. And in only 3+ months, I’m already seeing that,

Since January, I’ve lost 20 lbs of fat and have gone from a size 10 to a loose size 6. I’m currently sitting at around 20% bodyfat (down from about 30%).

I know I have a lot of work to do before September but I’m enjoying the journey and looking forward to what my body is capable of. With all of the knowledge I’ve gained so far and continue to gain as well as having a wonderful support system of my family, friends, and trainer, I KNOW I CAN DO THIS!”

———————-
BURN THE FAT AH-HA #4.
———————-

“Track Results Frequently. Seeing results on a spreadsheet or in pictures will always help motivate you to improve or worst case, help you to not fall too far off the wagon.”

———————-
BURN THE FAT AH-HA #5.
———————-

“The body loves nutrient rich food. Improving my diet has taken a lot of time and self examination. Due to my body type I realized maybe a tuna sandwich on wheat bread would not be as good for me as a tuna on a bed of greens and other vegetables.

I have no history of ever being able to eat salads with any consistency. Now I absolutely crave them and eat them twice a day.

This was an impossible thought to me a year ago and not something I strived for necessarily but I eat salads with protein and good fats and the effect on energy levels, immune system, mental health is nothing short of miracle.”

READ 50 MORE BURN THE FAT AH-HA’s
———————————————–

As I mentioned above they had over 55 ‘Burn The Fat AH-HA’s’ that their Inner Circle members wrote in.

They posted all 55 of these “AH-HA’s” on the Inner Circle Blog and they invite you to come sort through some of these gems:

You don’t have to be a member of the Inner Circle to see them and benefit from the ‘boiled-down,’ concentrated fat loss tips straight from the minds of our Inner Circle members.

We hope that you benefit from these “AH-HA’s.”

Do you have your own fat-burning AH-HA moment?

I want love to hear about it.

Just leave a comment and share it for everyone…. : )

Have an amazing day.

Scott

Ok, we are past 1/3rd of the way of the 30 Day Challenge.

You deserve some serious praise if you’ve made it this far.

Congratulations!

I wanted to leave you with this thought that I just read from my buddy Kyle Battis.

“Nearly everyone has set up some sort of limitation for themselves simply by deciding what level of discomfort they are willing to put up with. Achieving your dream body takes a lot of work and discipline.

Yet so many people come up with excuses to avoid a workout, or indulge in junk food, or neglect writing out their goals on a daily basis because of lack of time.”

Have an amazing weekend.

One third of the way through the 30 Day Challenge!

This is a milestone achievement.

If you have made it this far you have started to escape from some of your bad habits.

If you haven’t, do you need more support?

What has been the most difficult thing about this challenge?

I look forward to hearing some comments.

Have an amazing day.

Scott

I was wondering if you would be interested in being coached by me for the next 30 Day Challenge, beginning in August.

It seems like there is lots of interest in the current 30 Day Challenge.

But you know I’m a big believer in doing things together as a team.

So I would like to put together another 30 Day Challenge and actually coach you through it which will make things much easier on you.

The other coaching members and I will be your support team.

Just leave me a comment if you’re interested in a 30 day coaching program next month.

Or shoot me an email at scott@scfitness.com

Have an amazing day.

Scott

All right it’s Day 9 already!

Any updates to share?

Here’s something you can do if you’ve fallen off the wagon already.

Get right back up.

Start again.

Don’t wait until the next time I do another 30 Day Challenge.

Get back into it.

Turn it into a learning experience.

Maybe you gave up sweets, but you had a piece of cake.

Don’t beat yourself up over it.

Take out a piece of paper and write down how you could have planned better so it doesn’t happen the next time.

Learn from it.

Nobody’s perfect.

Just get back up as quickly as possible.

Have an amazing day!

Scott

We’re into week 2 of the 30 Day Challenge and nearly 1/3 done already.

I hope you had the chance to listen to my interview with Kevin Gianni on how to stay motivated.

One thing you can do right now is take out a piece of paper and pen and imagine the 30 days are up and you did really well for the entire challenge.

Write down the answers to these questions…

How do you look?

How do you feel?

How has your life changed in the last 30 days?

On the back of the paper, imagine the 30 days are up and you really fell off the wagon.

Write down the answers to these questions…

How do you look and feel?

Are you ashamed because you still look the same?

Do you feel embarrassed?

Do you feel bad because you didn’t stick with it?

You want to be that person that stuck with it!

Do everything you can to complete this challenge.

Have an amazing day.

Scott

Hey there.

Would you like to know what you should never, ever order in a restaurant if you want a flat stomach and six-pack abs.

Just check out the video below and get ready to laugh a little. : )

It does have some truth to it - portion sizes at restaurants ARE sometimes this big.

Have an amazing day.
