About Me

Name:
Location: Minnesota, United States

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.

Goals and rewards

I'm starting to figure this stuff out...really I am.
All of my successful physical fitness challenges had a couple of things in common. I set goals and positive rewards for meeting them.


As I moved into this second week of "Michelle's Ultimate 12 week
challenge" I really struggled with eating and steering clear of my trigger
foods.
Now its starting to dawn on me what the problem might be.

I forgot to set a new goal!

I had already reached all the old ones...I lost weight, got fit and got into a size six. Heck I even reached the big one---I won an International Fitness transformation contest.

So today I announce my new goals!


  • I will condition myself to run on a treadmill for a full 20 minutes using the HIT system.
  • I will help five people in the next 10 weeks to adopt a healthier lifestyle
  • I learn to say and mean "I don't eat chocolate" (Mary Wade)
  • And last but not least--I will buy a red bikini to wear on the Champions for Life cruise in May of 2005!

So as you can see I have set down my goals and have planned a reward. I can't wait to cruise with a ship full of champions and soon to be champions! I hope to see you there. If you do....forget about the Red Hat Society. Think Red Bikini Society!

I really like the goal:

I will mean it when I say I don't eat chocolate. That's where I need to be. I can't just have one...I know that. Chocolate is, always will be, my downfall. I quit drinking, I quit smoking...I need to quit chocolate.

Thanks for making it so clear.
