Project Fat Boy Slim – Week 16

Christopher Daniel — Sat, 21 Sep 2013 15:19:16 +0000

Yo SCORCHERS,

Chris here , so I have reached week 16 and I’m loving every minute of it. With time, I have learned to enjoy and even welcome the pain. This has to be the best I have felt in yearsss. I feel can do anything! Training and working out helps in so many ways. I am stronger , faster and healthier, but I’m still pushing it cause I got A LOT of work to do still!

Seeing y’all have motivated me on Project Fat Boy Slim when I started , It’s my turn now to motivate and encourage those who have started or planning to start on a similar journey

Training – Keep at it , everyone has bad days. It’s only when you overcome those days that you will really feel accomplished.

Mental – Always think positive and set realistic goals! Take things one session at a time.

Nutrition – Eat healthy and on time. Get the fruits in and drink more water. This cannot be stressed enough, nutrition is everything – or almost everything!

Success! How bad do you want it??

Look out for my progress report in #Issue42 of SCORCH mag in the coming days!

- Chris

Project Fat Boy Slim – Prelude to Month 2 (Week 9)

Christopher Daniel — Tue, 06 Aug 2013 19:34:00 +0000

It has been a challenging first two months, full of pain , emotions ,sweat , pain , nutrition, icing of joints , running, pain sigh… I can go on forever.Well Harts, Fantasy and Tribe had the band launches so Carnival is in the air. Even more impetus for me to focus on my end goal!

Training has its moments but then again some times I want to tell Toby peel his frame. He is a really good trainer and I am putting in that work , trying not to miss a session.

Nutrition has been improving with a focus on good eating habits rather than starving yourself. I drink more water and consume more fruits daily. The new task is preparing more meals at home versus buying so I can track what I am eating. I swear Josie will kill me if I don’t hahaha.

Mentally Amanda and I have had a couple of successful sessions to deal with the changes in nutrition and training. Also the importance of positive thinking.

Again everyone thanks for the support and words of encouragement.

Before I forget on the Emancipation Holiday we trained on Maracas Beach it was bitter sweet as training was much harder but we had a better view and environment to enjoy.

Project Fat Boy Slim: Words from Josie

The focus of this week’s consultation was defiantly on HOME COOKING! I am stressing the importance of preparing and cooking meals at home vs buying food everyday. Not only are the benefits good for the body…its also great for ya wallet too!!! Eating well consistently takes persistence, discipline and pre planning. I told Chris we have to take it one meal at a time…and this means focusing on Breakfast first. He has to prepare his breakfast the night before so he’s not hustling out the house and settling for a sada & something or worst doubles!

SCORCH Team: We can’t stress enough how much dedication it takes to do what Chris is doing right now. If we didn’t say it before we are proud of you Chris!

Project Fat Boy Slim – Week 3

Words of motivation from friends and well wishers keep pouring in. This keeps me focused on my main objective. I met with Dietitian and Sports Nutritionist Jordanna Hadeed this week, I was educated about do’s and dont’s of eating healthy and the importance of having a proper diet. A proper diet plan would be created for me and my progress will be monitored weekly.

I was shown what five pounds of fat looked like *uggh*. Seeing that fat made me feel to workout harder in training today!

Project Fat Boy Slim Week 2

Set goals, keep your eye on the prize, stay focused and you will achieve them! Yea it may sound like the normal motivational rhetoric, but the reason for that is because it’s TRUE! I am getting better at the “stop-to-stops”, so my mini goal for this week is almost complete. I feel more motivated after each training session. It’s making P.F.S. much easier. It helps too that the word has spread about P.F.S, everyone is monitoring what I eat and offering words of encouragement. I can’t even buy lunch without someone who knows about the project seeing me and asking me what I’m eating.

I am really starting to enjoy this journey that I have embarked on. Stay tuned for more updates.

Project Fat Boy Slim – Prelude to Week 2

Christopher Daniel — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 13:13:46 +0000

It’s the beginning of week 2 and through all the pain I’m pumped up and ready to go. This journey is going to be a long one, so I’m taking it one session at a time. I know my transformation is not going to happen overnight, but I have my eyes fixed on the final goal. I really appreciate the words of encouragement from everyone, to the training squad, the SCORCH family and the SCORCHERS online, I say thank you. To me, failure is not an option! I can’t let you guys down, and most importantly I can’t let myself down! It’s all for my benefit.

I’m looking forward to what Toby (official P.F.S trainer) has in store for me this week. All the sessions so far have been very engaging and varied. I love it! I’m setting “mini goals” for myself, this week I want to make those “Stop-to-Stops” without resting… wish me luck!

Project Fat Boy Slim – Week 1

Christopher Daniel — Fri, 07 Jun 2013 18:25:49 +0000

So the first week of Project Fat Boy Slim has passed and to tell you the truth it’s not what I expected. I didn’t use weights at all this week, but for some reason I feel like I’ve been hit by a big truck and then both me and the truck flew over a cliff … into a volcano. Don’t talk about the morning after, you feel even worse. All that being said it’s the first week and I expected the pain, so things should only get better in time.

Eating healthy is a task but it’s made easier by Wrap Works Deli, a chicken salad after each session really hit the spot. The key for me is to stick with the healthy eating. If I happen to cheat though, I need to “cheat the cheats” (for example if you do eat fries don’t make soup with the garlic and bbq sauces). My advice to others in my positions is you need to try your best to eat healthy, because a bad diet will negate all the hard work you’re doing.
