Day 32 – Focus Friday – Julz last Video Postcard from Crete
Day 32 of the Summer Challenge… Focus Friday – Julz gives us her last video postcard from Crete!!
At The New You Plan we want our customers to lose weight, but we also want them to CREATE THEIR NEW YOU. This is essentially what the new you plan is all about, helping people to change their mindset, lifestyle and body.
One word that is commonly used when our customers lose weight is CONFIDENCE.
[quote]”I feel so confident since I lost 3 stone!”[/quote]
As our waist line shrinks, our confidence grows.
When our confidence grows we are not living in FEAR anymore.
Living in FEAR SUCKS!
Who wants to live in fear???
- Fear of what other people might say or do.
- Fear about how we will feel.
- Fear about getting stuck.
- Fear of being too fat to take part.
- Fear of bad health and illness.
- Fear of being alone.
SO what I want you to do today for our FOCUS FRIDAY TASK is to give me 5 – 10 THINGS YOU WOULD DO IF YOU HAD CONFIDENCE AND WERE NOT AFRAID.
Think about all the areas of your life….
Health, Fitness, Clothing, Holidays, Adventures, Travels, Hobbies, Experiences, Family, Friends, Children, Romance, Love, Career, Business, Education, Entertainment, Fun, Passion, Crazy things!
Some of my recent fears that I have overcome are…
- Making videos!! They scare the living daylights out of me, I am a camera shy person, so it was a big step for me to do the videos, but I am glad I got started! I have wanted to do the videos for years!
- Doing the Challenge LIVE! I lost 8 stone, and have another stone or more to go to get to my goal. After more false starts that I can count this year, I finally got started while doing the videos, and doing it LIVE. No backing out for me now. Scary to commit to it, but I am so glad I did it.
Here’s my list of things I want to do when I have the confidence when I am at my goal 🙂
- Get a new you photoshoot done with me and some of our customers
- Get a family portrait taken
- Go swimming every week with Isabella
- Improve my camera skills and continue making videos for new you tv.
- Start a refeed and maintenance blog and program for new you customers to move onto if they wish

Hi Julz,
Great postcard today, just love your videos.
Well, the one thing that I have been putting off because I’m obese is swimming. I just love water and swimming but haven’t been for years as just feel too self-conscious and think people will look at me and laugh. I don’t like the look of myself in the mirror and in swimming costume is even worse with all the wobbly bits. So, I really want to start now that I lost some weight and go swimming with my boyfriend, it’s also excellent exercise so really good for me.
The things that I will do when I get my confidence back from losing weight are:
1. Swimming
2. Going on holiday
3. Exercising in the gym
4. Swimming with dolphins and sharks (but not at the same time)
5. Going out with friends
6. Wearing nice clothes, dresses, skirts, tight jeans, little tops
7. Get a new job
8. Apply to university to study medicine
9. Have a baby
10. Stop being afraid of what people will say when they meet me
Have a great day!! xxx Love. 🙂
