I'm at an age when many women believe their best years are behind them. I hope to convince my "Sisters" that many more of those "best years" are waiting to be lived! I'm living proof it is never to late to live them. Not to long ago I weighed nearly 200 pounds and was being treated for a long list of obesity related medical problems. Thankfully there came a point in my life when I decided to keep my self promises. When I did...my life opened to a world of possibilities.

Dear Santa...

All I want for Christmas...I've already got!

Looking back at the past year I cannot begin to count the many blessings I have received. It all began when I made the concious decision to change my mind about exercise, nutrition, supplimentation and goal setting. When I did--I changed my body.
When you think about it--its not all that surprising.


The book Body for Life by Bill Phillips offered me a plan of action. In its simplicity to offered me the tools I needed to turn my life around.


Last night I attending a Christmas Party. Many of the women there wanted to know about my transformation. I told them about my life before BFL and how its changed since I've adopted this new Lifestyle.

Prior to BFL I was constantly obessing about my weight. You might know what I mean.
The frustration of never feeling good, never really looking good....
Being fat was a fulltime job.

Being healthy is also a fulltime job.
You have to work out, you have to plan and follow through on healthy eating.
Each day--sometimes each moment--you have to decide which job you want...and what payday will bring.

Essentially I've have exchanged one obsession for another.
The difference is...my new obsession with BFL is much healthier and it has made me much happier.

Bottom line--is you could chose you obsessions. Which would you chose?
Here's hoping that all of your choices in the New Year are the right ones for you!
