Day 1 of Ultimate Transformation
Challenge1, Day 1
Jan 10, 2005
Today begins Michelle’s Perfect Transformation Challenge. Up early to the gym—UBWO—hit my tens. Deep breathing…meditation…stretching…offered up gratitude.
Meals measured, cooked and packed. EAS products being taken…water being consumed!
Re-read the books, rewound and watched the tapes again. Photos taken…weighed and measured.
Yep boys and girls---there’s electricity in the air!
On one hand I want to recapture the perfection of my very first challenge for an ultimate transformation for this 52 year old body...
On the other hand I want to fit this program into my life… without allowing it take over my life.
Over the last year BFL has taught me how to establish a long list of healthy habits.
These habits, including exercise, nutrition, supplementation and goal setting are essential to creating the best body possible. But if one is not careful this who thing can become an obsession…with no time for anything else.
(You old timers—who have the guestbook marked as your favorite site and have the EAS number on speed dial may understand what I’m trying to explain here.)
I don’t believe that’s what Bill Phillips intended to happen. There is a healthy balance and when we can find that balance it all falls into place. We grow mentally, physically and spiritually. And as a result of our new found health—we attract others who seek what we have found.
In summary…I promise from this day forward I will spend just 45 minutes a day, six days a week on either cardio or lifting. 10 minutes packing lunches…10 minutes on the guest book and 10 minutes on the blogger.
On the seven day I will refrain from all things BFL—except for setting goals for the next BFL day.
While I will give this challenge my all…I will take the rest of my life off of hold---and be the best I can at work and home.

I can’t tell you how excited I am to start this latest leg of the journey inAs I have mentioned in earlier blogger entries—I want to find a healthy balance during these 84 days.
redefining myself. This challenge will focus on mental attitude and
muscle building.
The last several challenges focused mainly on fat loss.
The fat is mostly gone, replaced by sagging skin that needs to be supported
by new, powerful muscle…hence the focus on muscle
building.

Michelle,
Wonderful posting and a great way to start. I'm on Day 9 of Challenge 6 and I, too, am looking for balance. I'll be following your progress closely, and share my own findings along the way.
Best to you,
Yan
