Jamie Hale-For all my science geeks I am going to have a big treat for you coming up with a review on Coach Hales “The Carbohydrate Files” and maybe we can even get Jamie in here for a little Q & A.

We Aren’t All Fat Loss Bastards


26 Aug

I received this email the other day and it made me think about how important all aspects of my teaching is.

“Hi Leigh, I just wanted to say that you are so funny! I know you can piss people off but I love it, never change!”

This gave me a mixed feeling deep down inside. On the one hand it is true, I do piss people off sometimes. It is hard when you have to tell it “how it is, as you see it.” If I “bend the rules” at all, even the slightest bit, then YOU, the reader, will lose out. However, I don’t want you to think that I would ever enjoy hurting anyone’s feelings or that my intent is to jab. I may call it how I see it but, it is never with a ill intent. On the contrary, it is with the best of intents. Usually if people have a problem with what I say it is because, sorry, they are wrong or neither of us have shared all the information. The less I know, the less anyone knows, the more likely we, together, are going to get things wrong.

Having said all of this, I want to make it clear, that I love positivity. I love happy and fun people. I am a happy and fun person and seriously have the best time in my life. I laugh everyday, all day. I just do my job and SOMETIMES that job makes me have to be the “bad guy” to some people. I know that some folks…who will remain nameless…out there have some anger built up and can be a bit mean. Lump us all together, fine! Call us all the Fat Loss Bastards! In the end, I hope you will thank us for our honesty the best we can give it.

Guess what though? This isn’t about that!

What this is about is a guy who really is downright one of the most sweet guys I have talked to in a long time.  Scott Tousignant is his name and he is just fantastic. You talk to the guy and you can’t help but light up. I had a really rough day today, and I mean rough. I had a call with him at 3:30 to discuss a trip that we are going on.  Let’s just say it was hard to feel bad while I was on the phone with him. He has a wife, beautiful kids, and he wants to inspire and help. He doesn’t try to pretend he is something he isn’t, he has good goals, and does a great job at motivating people to achieve their goals. I think it is really funny he goes by the Fit Bastard, because he is anything but.

He recently put out some MP3 downloads. Now, I haven’t got a chance to listen to all of them yet, I am going to do a proper review (by the way the review section should be a blast, keep watching it), but for the most part, they are good stuff. Inspiring stuff. Sure, there is information and some lessons on things but, it isn’t about that. It is about that kick you need sometimes, that “push.” Here is a great snip with Tom Venuto.

Tom Venuto-Unstoppable Fat Loss Clip

I love Tom. By the way, we are all going on that trip together. I don’t even want to THINK about the trouble to come. I also know that I will likely smile the whole time.

If interested in some good motivation clips and not getting everything so stern all the time, go check it out.

(*Note* I did one myself and I am in the big package because I am special…so niener)
