Good Morning Melbourne!

by Lia Halsall

Good Morning………..well today is your typical perfect winter’s day in Melbourne. Isn’t modern technology great, the above picture is taken with a webcam at 1145h I downloaded of the internet so you can see just how lovely it really is here. :o )

Daniel’s gone out fishing for the day in hope that he catches some brim. I’m hoping he does as there’s nothing better then fresh grilled fish with a squeeze of lemon juice for dinner. *hmmm* Me on the other hand will be spending my day in the kitchen, below is a list of what I have to prepare and cook:

Tartare Sauce (cottage cheese, gherkin & capers)
Protein Pancakes
Chicken Vegetable Meatloaf

So on that note I best get into the kitchen. But before I do I’ve purchased yet another resource book, I’m getting quite a collection now. LOL!! This book was recommended to me and I can’t wait to read it. So here’s a little about it until I report back my thoughts on it.



“Most experts teach that losing weight and creating our best body is all about finding the right diet and exercise program. Motivator and Exercise Scientist Craig Harper teaches that creating life-long physical change is largely a psychological and emotional process. While he understands the science of creating physical change, he also knows that for most of us, the biggest challenge is getting our head where it needs to be… and keeping it there.

“The truth is, most of us know what to do, but for a range of reasons we don’t do it (consistently). Some of us have a history of ‘almost’ getting in shape, and some of us get in and out of shape annually.”

Most people don’t get in shape because they simply don’t finish what they start. It’s not about equipment, health club membership or resources; it’s about our ability to consistently do what we need to do…. Our ability to change our thinking, change our attitudes, change our habits, change our reality and ultimately, change our body forever.

As long as we believe that creating our best body is all about carbs, barbells, fat-blasters and exercise bikes, we’re in trouble.

Fattitude is a book for people who are tired of getting on and off the weight-loss merry-go-round, and are genuinely ready to create ‘forever’ change.”

It’s more like a work day but at home isn’t it Hilary. LOL!! Not to worry though, it pays to be organised in the end. You have a great week too. :o ) xx

Hi Lia,

How you going?? Thats a fantastic book. I have trained at Craigs gym quite a few times, and he is a great role model when it comes to all things health and fitness. Enjoy the read.

Hi Jacque,

I’m doing much better, thank you. I still have a long way to go yet but at least I’m on the right path. :o )

Hi Lia
I have this book. I quite enjoyed it however I did find it a bit “blunt”. Very much a typical man speaking! I kept hearing my husband speaking to me as I read : )

I love all the pics you post. Very inspiring – thankyou! I love the clip of Monica. I ordered the Jenny Lynn dvd a couple of weeks ago but still haven’t recieved it. How long did it take to get yours?

I have the book too Lia, it really really is a great read :)
I still get it out occassionally just to flick through, when things get ‘tough’.
Good luck :)

I’m thinking with my military background that this book will be right up my alley Di. But understandably it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

I’m glad you enjoyed the clip, I only learnt how to post them up this weekend. As for the dvd, it took a couple of weeks but it’s well worth the weight I promise. :o )

Okay great, it sound to me like it’s going to be a good read then Selina. :o )
