I’m back after a trip of a lifetime.
I originally went out to Croatia on business and was supposed to return on Saturday, but with the natural disaster in Iceland I’ve only just got home, after travelling through eight European countries - Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, France and Great Britain.
The whole experience has really taught me some very valuable lessons and maybe nature has a funny way of giving us some important messages. For me, the message was “slow down, you’re moving too fast.” It was also fascinating to observe the 150 delegates that I was working with who were from all over the world, and seeing how different people coped with the situation. To me, the winners were definitely the Spanish. They seemed to deal with it in a way that it just became one long siesta for them.
It was also really lovely to see how people came together and supported each other. It was definitely a moving experience and something I will never ever forget. I’ve made another film of our road trip that I’d like to share with you.
Hope you enjoy the film and thanks for all your lovely messages of support.
Our Member of the Month for April is Kat. I met up with her recently at the Vitality Show in London. She has been following my weight loss programme - petecohen.tv for well over a year. She is an inspirational lady who has embraced every aspect of my programme. She is a prolific blogger and has offered some fantastic support to others.
I have recorded a podcast below, where I talk to her about what she has achieved. Please feel free to make any comments and I will pass them on to Kat.
I have been helping people get slimmer, fitter and healthier for over 20 years now and over the last few years I have become known as "The Weight Loss Guru" and this is why I started this free blog site.
This site is full of free inspirational information to support and motivate you as you move forward and achieve your goals. There are plenty of articles and videos as well as some excellent pod-casts with some of the leading Health and Fitness Professionals in the world.
What is a GURU?
A guru is a teacher, someone who leads a disciple to wisdom and self-realization. The word is formed by the syllables gu and ru. Gu indicates darkness, and ru indicates destruction. Thus, when translated directly, guru means ‘dispeller of darkness.’ GU and RU indicate the juxtaposition of light and dark, where ignorance is dark, and knowledge - particularly spiritual knowledge - is light.
My mission as the Weight Loss Guru is to liberate and free people from the constant battle of trying to lose weight and being on a merry-go-round of dieting. I want to inspire, support, encourage and motivate people to break habits and enjoy their lives.
My approach is about helping people with the following;
1. Belief in themselves
2. Being open to change
3. Conquering their fears
4. Showing them how to break bad habits
5. Giving them support and structure
6. How to feel good about what you are doing
7. Taking personal responsibility
8. Understanding exercise
9. Breaking down their journey into manageable chunks
10. Staying positive and motivated
