Tips to changing habits

	How are all your resolutions going? Are you sticking to them? Have you been able to change those habits you're determined to break....or make. Us humans are habitual creatures. We generally do the same things at the same time each day. If you're a bodybuilder then you'll definitely be a creature of habit eating and training the same time daily and probably eat the same foods everyday too.
Habits, good or bad, make you who you are. The key is controlling them. If you know how to change your habits, then even a small effort can create big changes.

Make the most of the New Year!

The New Year is here!. The time of year when we ponder the past and evaluate our achievements (and perhaps failures) last year and when we vow to better ourselves this year. It is usually the time when we make resolutions for the year with the hope of achieving them.

What's your resolution this year?

Maybe you want to lose weight, to live healthier, quit smoking, compete in that fun run you've always talked about or even give bodybuilding a go.

Raw Food Feast

Debbie and Janine

Hmm Raw Food Workshop. Sounds interesting. Is it just going to be lots of broccoli and green juice?

We sent our roving reporter Janine Haywood to give the Raw Energy Workshop a go and this is what she found out.

" I recently had the pleasure of attending a ‘Raw Energy Workshop' held by Debbie Buddle who owns Natures Nutrition.

As you know Lisa, I choose to eat clean all the time, so I needed to find a way to eat more and add variety to my food to feed the body the extra it needs during the building season but also keep my mind happy to know I am controlling my weight.

While talking to Debbie she told me about the power of raw food, this got me very interested in learning more. I attended one of her Raw Food Energy Workshops and now am inspired that I can feed the body more efficiently in a lot more ways than I ever thought possible.

The Makeover Issue

Aahhhh nothing like a good old makeover to make one feel refreshed and have a new outlook on life, fitness and work. Since these three factors are so closely intertwined in my life ie most of my time is spent either thinking about what to put on Go Figure, gathering stories, pics and uploading on site or training Go Figurec clients. Go Figure is a big part of my life and alot of my time is spent on bringing you the full on site you see today.

2011 was such a hectic year attending so many shows, no wonder it played havoc with my body sending my hormones out of whack and adding stress to many parts of my life. So now that the site has had a makeover, its time to give my body and life a makeover too so that my mind and body doesn't get back to the low ebb experienced end of last year.

The Hormone issue, part 2

Since I wrote the article on my newly discovered hormone issues last week, I've had a flood of emails and feedback from many viewers who are also going through similar issues. I think this problem is perhaps more common in bodybuilders as we do tend to push ourselves to the physical and physiological limits!
