Thanks for everyone who came out this morning to the Wicked Winter Workout – Inside Edition.
Kudos to the 17 Get Fit NH Bootcamp Epsom crew that came out to Concord, and to all you who trained last night AND came this morning my hat is off to you. Those 2 training sessions back to back was getting some work done!

Heart to Heart Seminar Details
Love is in the air! Valentine’s day is right around the corner, Nancy and I are just about to celebrate our 26th wedding anniversary, and we are excited to announce a very special morning planned on Saturday, February 18th.
While we have a lot of couples who train with us, this event is not exclusive. This is your chance to show your sweetheart what all the excitement is about, and you don’t even have to sweat!
We’ll start the morning with a brief seminar we are calling “Lean On Me”, where we will talk about the importance of supporting healthy nutrition, exercise and lifestyle change starts at home.
Our program will be highlighted by Amy Troy of Chichester Massage, who will be teaching us how to effectively help our partner recover from that tough training session or maybe just a tough day with a soothing massage. What better way to show your special someone you love them? This hands on session is sure to be a hit.
We also are going to have a special live “Cooking with the Carlson’s” demo where you and your partner will see how quick and easy it can be to prepare delicious meals – together. We will then get to sample some great tasting food you’ll be sure to want to make at home.

Passing this along from our friends at Precision Nutrition. This poem is a great illustration of the process of change, and the truth that small steps in the right direction add up to big things. You don’t have to be perfect, just a little better than the day before.
Autobiography in 5 Short Chapters
A Poem by Portia Nelson
Chapter I
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I fall in.
I am lost … I am helpless.
It isn’t my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.
Chapter II
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don’t see it.
I fall in again.
I can’t believe I am in the same place.
But, it isn’t my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.
Chapter III
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in … it’s a habit … but,
my eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.
Chapter IV
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.
Chapter V
I walk down another street.
Keep Walking, and Keep Making It Happen!

Or in this case, Day 50 of the 100 Day Burpee Challenge… the half way mark. Only 50 more days and another 1,275 Burpees (editors note: it’s actually 3775, but who’s counting?) to go. The question now is, am I in or out?
As it is now 10:30pm and I am in the process of accomplishing my 50 burpees in increments of 10. Do 10, catch my breath, 10 more- stretch a little, 10 more- oh yeah, I’m supposed to breathe while doing the push up, 10 more- with a concentrated effort to breathe not pass out, and the final 10- that didn’t take too much time out of my day/night and woohoo! I’m done!! … until tomorrow… Day 51 = 51 Burpees! (and the vicious cycle begins again!) 52 Burpees on Friday, 53 Burpees on Saturday, 54 Burpees on Sunday… and so on until 100 Burpees on Day 100. Who’s idea was this anyway?? More importantly, what was I thinking saying, “I’m IN!” ?? (again why is there no one to slap some sense into me?)
It had to be because this was one of those Concord yahoos idea (and I mean yahoo in the most loving sense 🙂 ; and lets just say Epsom does NOT sit on the sidelines. Or maybe it was the whole ‘counting’ thing, we all know I am a counter (Tabata’s are one of my favorites). Yes I took the time to count how many Burpees we were actually doing! Or maybe, just maybe, it was the whole “Challenge” word that said ‘sign me up’! (I do love a challenge)
I guess it really doesn’t matter at this point, I’m IN… we’re half way! which is pretty exciting, because of course I’m thinking, it wasn’t that bad. I can say that now, because my 50Â are done. Prior to, there was a whole lot of whining.
I have done 1,275 burpees in the last 50 days! I even see more muscle tone in my shoulders- yup, when I close one eye and squint … there! see it?!
Then there is the whole, not being one who is very coordinated to do a pushup, I thought this could help. Dare I say, I am getting closer to the floor than I ever have? Ok so maybe they are still painful to watch, I still get ‘stuck and cant move’, but I keep going. That’s what its all about, just keep going.
Someone has to keep Nancy and Karl company… Besides, I’m only in it for the t-shirt… and oh yes, there WILL be a t-shirt!
Blog you later.

As we announced last week, we are preparing for a limited re-opening of our Fat Loss Accountability Group (F.L.A.G.)
To learn more about F.L.A.G. click here, but DO NOT ENROLL, we don’t want your money until you have read and understand completely what we are asking.
Your coaches and our F.L.A.G. clients have both learned a lot about what does and does not get results through an accountability group. First of all it is important to realize that an accountability group is not magic, it takes work. What most of us need is the willingness to face reality that losing fat takes hard work, getting out of our comfort zones, and taking action consistently.
I am guessing a lot of you have enough knowledge to start seeing success, the key is putting that knowledge into action. The F.L.A.G. group is designed to make sure you are taking that action.
Did I use the word action enough?
Some of our F.L.A.G. group has thrived and seen tremendous results, others never really got off the ground, but most are somewhere in the middle. Making steady progress toward their goals, having good days and not so good days. Falling down and picking themselves back up – sounds a lot like life, right?
You won’t find any hard sell or sexy ad copy here, because that doesn’t do anybody any good. In fact we want to be absolutely sure you really want to be part of our group. It is a very small investment, and sometimes that’s not conducive to you doing your part. If we charged $1000 a month I bet you get it done! 🙂
So here’s the deal, if you want in, please take this short survey and tell us why. We would love to work with you, but we want to be absolutely sure you really want to do what it takes.
Make It Happen,
Coach Dean
Click here for the survey, and we will get in touch with you shortly.
Many thanks to Dr. Laura Jones of Whole Health Concord for giving us a great talk on healthy foods and healthy eating last evening. We learned that our food choices are more about weight control, but also getting and staying healthy, inside and out.
And thank-you for an amazing turnout – with 60 people coming out it looks like we will be investing in more seating next time Dr. Laura speaks – thanks for making it work!
So you invested an hour and a half of your time – now what are you going to do with your new found knowledge?
Most of us process new information one of three ways:
1) We dismiss it.
“It’s too radical.”
“It’s too hard.”
“It’s too expensive.”
“I’m too busy. ”
“Nobody really eats that way.”
2) We file it away
“I like what she had to say, but I need to look into it more.”
“Interesting, I’ll think about changing some things.”
“I’ll start next week.”
3) We take action
We choose just one thing that we can implement – today.
Here’s one of Dr. Laura’s tips that I know works great because my family eats this way.
Yesterday’s dinner becomes today’s lunch. Simple as that. Take your leftover protein and veggies, pack them up to go, and bring them to work.
Experiment with that for one week. And then build on that experience. Step by step.
Here’s the link to http://EWG.org, which Dr. Jones mentioned last night. The front page has direct links to “The Clean Fifteen” and the “Dirty Dozen”.
I look forward to seeing you next time!
Coach Dean
