The Before And After Project - Step 1
Ok - This thing has officially started.
I know many of you have already taken your photos. Great ! Just make sure they are from 3 angles - front, back and side. Remember, it doesn't matter how bad you think you look - becasue we are going to change that.
If you haven't taken your photos yet - Get them done ! this is extremely important to this whole process - and here is why (read carefully, this is part of what is going to create change for you!)
We exist in our own body - it is very hard to see ourselves as well as we can see (& judge) others. In order for you to really 'see' where you are starting from you must photograph yourself at your worst - which is something almost everybody does not do. Why? Becasue they don't want to see what they look like form the outside looking in.
In order for you to know what changes you want - you need to know what you want to change & therefore you have to see those things as if you were looking at someone else "WHO IS ASKING YOU FOR YOUR LOVING, HONEST OPINION AND ADVICE."
If you do both print and digital photos, great! If not, try for digital. If you must do physical - OK.
Keep some of these handy - put them in places where you will see them daily so you will constantly know what you are working on.
More importantly - You need a vision in your mind - and maybe even a physical remimder of what you want to achieve. Find some old photos of when you felt you were attractive, fit or just in a great weight range. Keep these photos around daily - so you know "where you are going".
Notice the proactive steps you are taking here to bring about desired results. You are moving away from existing in this world in a subconscious state to taking control of your life by operating in a conscious mode.
The second most important thing you need to have done by the end of this week is all of your measurements. Record all of these in a journal specifically used for this project - you can use a simple notebook, etc. (these and your photos is what you will send in at the end of September - so we can decide which stories will make it inot "The Book")
- weight
- clothing sizes
- body fat (all drug stores & department stores carry home body fat scales now)
- & anything else you want to measure with a tailor's tape measure
Also, in your journal, write about how you feel physically, mentally and spiritually. If the spritual part is hard for you to grasp right now - don't worry, just right that, because that is part of what we are going to improve during the next 3 and a half months.
On a scale of 1 - 10 rate your: (1 is none - 10 is extremely high) [5 is medium]
1- pain levels (if you have nagging aches & pains)
2- energy levels
3- fitness levels
Don't worry about grading your self - this is all relative to your self. If you feel very unfit - it doesn't matter how you do on a fitness test. We are trying to change how you feel about you.
Main things to be doing daily:
1 - some form of exercise - most of you have at leasat one of my DVD programs - you need to be putting it to use - no excuses.
2 - if you can't get a full workout in - don't worry - do half or a third - this is a million times better than doing nothing.
3 - focus on proper diet (proper eating) (not dieting - in a sense of 'not eating')- many of you have 'The Blow-Torch Diet - 7 Day Quick-Burn Version' - use it & modify it as you see needed for yourself.
4 - If you do not have it I will be offering a free E-book copy of it in the next few hours - you'll get notice by email. Click here to get it - The Blow-Torch Diet.
5 - if you can - get some extra exercise in - for example - if you did my workout and still have time or find time later in the day - go ut for a jog, a power walk or anything that gets you to break a little sweat.
Thats it for now. Print this out - make copies - start keeping these notes in a folder with your journal. Make notes for yourself, write questions for me, etc.
Stay tuned & stay focused & watch yourself change!
I may be doing a teleseminar for all participants in the next few weeks...
Coaching emails & "B & A Project" blog updates will be AT LEAST weekly.
Coming next:
-Why I am doing this for you.
-What does "The Blow-Torch" mean - how I got the name.
-Seeing fast progress.
Be Fit!

Ok Joey. So I am a few months behind schedule. I will do my pics tomorrow when I have complete privacy. Not that I need reminding that I have over 80 llbs to lose!
Every journey begins with but a single step. I just hope I have enough years left in me to go the rest of the way! So, here goes nothing...
