If you’re wondering why its low profile… Well, we created it – and we’re the only two in it!

The idea was that we would email each other every day for 90 days. We would write down the exercise we did each day. And we would write down the food we ate each day. And we would not coach each other, give advice or guidance in any way.

The first 30 days were kind of strange. I sent my email to Jamie every day. But not a lot happened. My diet didn’t change and I barely worked out.

But I did get more and more conscious of the POOR food and exercise choices I was making. Day after day…

By day 21, I was living in China (I had moved to Beijing for 3 months) and I met someone who I’d first seen about 9 months earlier. His first words to me were have you put on weight? You’re looking big.

OUCH.

Man I was pissed.

Until I realized he was right.

For the first time in my life, my love handles met in the middle! I had a belly.

<This is a remarkably accurate picture of what I looked like!>

I didn’t know it was possible but I’d become a fat, skinny guy!

So by day 28 I found myself heading to a gym (no mean feat registering at a gym where the only language spoken is Chinese!) and I began to notice I was more and more conscious of what I was eating.

In fact, one day at a time I began a goal of working out five times a week. And I did this for the next five weeks and my belly began slowly shrinking…

But then my China trip ended and I headed back to the US and suddenly three weeks have gone by and I’m already back to eating poorly and barely exercising.

What’s going on? I asked myself.

I know HOW to eat healthily and I know HOW to exercise regularly…

So something is missing…

And then this morning I stumbled across this article by Adam Gilbert of http://MyBodyTutor.com

I enjoyed the article so much I emailed Adam and he immediately emailed me back and then called me for a chat this evening.

His premise is simple.
Most of us know HOW to eat healthily. Most of us also know HOW to workout.

But we don’t DO it!
What is missing is a secret ingredient: CONSISTENCY

Adam’s program is based around serious accountability.
He helps you create a customized lifestyle diet and workout plan. You then have weekly or daily phone calls as well as access to a Web Application with DAILY critique and suggestions to keep you focused, honest with yourself and most importantly consistent!

Here’s Adam on the left – clearly he has always enjoyed being healthy! But what I especially liked about Adam is that he used to work in corporate America. He was an accountant at Ernst & Young in their hedge fund and private equity practice and gave it all up to follow his passions to write and help people get create bodies they will love for life…

I love hanging out with people who do what they LOVE – so I already knew I liked Adam.

And in that moment I said to him, I’ll sign up in a couple of weeks when I’m back from a trip to the East Coast.

And then I caught myself. Why wait for two weeks. I can exercise on my trip (if I want to); I can eat healthily on my trip (if I want to).

There are ALWAYS excuses. There is ALWAYS a reason to say “I’ll start tomorrow.”

So I signed up. There and then!

If I was braver, at this moment I would post my before photos – but I’m not, so I don’t ask!

Instead, please ask – as often as you dare – show me your love handles, Rich!

I want to have a body I love for life. And when Adam and I set my targets tomorrow, I’m gonna tell him my goal to have a six-pack, for the first time in my life…
