No don’t worry I am not going to ask you to give me 100 push ups and start jabbing the punchbag.

I blogged a while back about UFC Champion Jon ‘Bones’ Jones who juices in order to give his body a winning edge – freshly extracted juice. Check out the Jon Jones juicing video below. But read on as I talk you through something else people who lose weight have in common with this MMA fighter.

I was reading this month’s copy of Mens Journal and there was an article on Jones and the UFC scene, a world I know very little about.

In my FREE Juicing Starter Guide I talk about the power of visualization. I used to visualise how I would look when I achieve my goal weight, I used to visualize finishing my first half marathon. I talk about how that technique helped me to lose 70 pounds through juicing and running.

In the Mens Journal article titled ‘Sweet and Vicious’, Jon Bones Jones talks about his own visualization strategy. I was particularly drawn to the words:

‘When I was 20, I had a voicemail greeting that said ‘Hi this is Jon Bones Jones, the light heavyweight champ.’  I was carrying myself like I was the champion before I was even in the UFC.’

Before I got into juicing, running and changing my life for good I would have laughed at this statement and called it arrogant.

Now, 70 pounds lighter I embrace this kind of thinking.

Losing weight is not just about nutrition and exercise. It is about the mental juice, its about getting your mind into that state where you are determined to shed the pounds and get fit. This is what carried my over the line of two half marathons, helped me run over a thousand miles in training and juice fast.
