Scale the World Website & 32 day program/course

I found this website Scale the World a few years ago and actually joined up to do the 32 day program, but can never remember actually finishing it. Having said that, I don't think I ever it cause I got busy at work and life which doesn't surprise me, as I didn't finish a lot of things back then.

I was going through some old posts on my tonight and came across it again.

I thought I'd give it another go in conjunction with Weight Watchers. I thought it might help me to understand why I do the things I do to myself i.e. sabotage my efforts, negative thoughts etc.

"Their initial email is as follows:-

Welcome aboard a journey toward.

Toward what, you ask? Toward a better, more enlightened future. Toward a lighter, more empowered you. Toward the life you were designed to create.

This journey will be full of surprises. There will be days of total breakthroughs followed by days of utter challenge -- and that's okay.

Our goal is 32 days of consistent, open- minded, enjoyable effort. Learning, changing, expanding, growing healthier in every way, and sharing this with the people you care about.

I will not deceive you -- the summit of your life can be a formidable climb. The alternative
is to forever stay at base camp and never wander beyond the confines of what you consider safe ground.

That safe ground is where most avalanches find their final home. This is how life can manage to bury you -- by staying put.

Consider how life can snowball, and how much easier it is to hit a motionless target. All of this is the result of fear. And, as of today, you can dedicate yourself to living fearlessly.

. . . . . . . . . . .

IMPORTANT NOTE!

"Scale The World" is written in a unique style that allows for direct answers and non-direct subconscious interaction. The goal was to get your conscious and your subconscious mind working on the day's challenges and lessons.

Each email offers specific things to do and think about. This is the conscious part of the program. The "analogy" of climbing is used throughout the course. Inside that analogy contains many mental 'gems' of information. Some of the emails will read almost like "prose", others like direct messages to you.

Both aspects are crucial to your overall success in Scale The World.

With that in mind, please understand that 'some' of the messages may not be so easy to understand at first. That's okay... that's the way the course was designed. Your mind will work overtime on the words as long as you read them and do the assignments. The end result is a program that teaches and alters negative patterns of thought at the same time.

. . . . . . . . . . .

Let's start today with the first of three "Prepare Yourself For The Climb" emails. These are designed to get you ready for "Scale The World", which officially begins for you in 3 days.

Step one: stretch your legs.

Get up right now. It doesn't matter where you are -- you can do this anywhere.

Inhale. Take a deep breath, and raise your arms above your head. Now, stretch.

People around you will assume you're just...stretching. You're not.

You're reaching.

Look up when you do this. See yourself in your mind's eye reaching for the next crevasse in the rock; the next foot-hold. The next bit of level ground.

The better view.

I'd like you to spend time just enjoying the little things. Living in the moment.

This may sound trivial, perhaps even silly. Then again, most every simple answer confounds those seeking complication.

Now, here's what I need you to do:

1. Begin drinking pure water every day. Just make sure you consume more water than any other fluid.

2. Purchase and consume food that you "can see". This is food that contains primarily "one ingredient." Let's make this simple, shall we?

An apple has one ingredient: apple! Same goes for a breast of chicken, or a cup of brown rice.

Spices are fine -- they do not count.

Also, don't worry about eating "perfect". Just eat foods you enjoy, and get about 75% of your foods from unprocessed sources. Think "no white" and it's hard to go wrong. White flour, white rice,white sugar. All of this is white death.

We want living food.

Again, shoot for 75%. The other 25% can be "ordinary foods" -- just keep this in mind:

ordinary people eat ordinary foods.

Our goal is the extraordinary, and that can be much more simplistic than you may think.

Still, consider this fact: in golf, 3 good shots out of 4 puts you on par. That's 75/25, and that's all you need to make the journey a success.

If you're feeling really adventurous, shoot for 85/15. Your body will change "exponentially" as you increase that top number and decrease that bottom one.

3. I'd like you to start a Scale The World Daily Journal. A notebook of your thoughts, your activity, your foods, and your goals. What do you feel like when you eat a certain way, or after a nice long walk?

That's it for now...oh, except for this: enjoy yourself. "

I think this will work in perfectly with the Core program on Weight Watchers, which I am thinking of switching to on Saturday (weight in day). Will see how it goes and hopefully I can complete it this time, after all its just 32 days............

I will also use this blog as my Scale The World Daily Journal, that way I will blog here every day and not have to double blog stuff. You will just have to get use to seeing more of me around here. LOL
