The funny thing about time....
You can't stop it...Nor can you turn back the hands of time. But thanks to the Body for Life program I am learning that we can buy it! Before I began the BFL program I would often lament how...I didn't have time to exercise or pack my lunch for work!
Looking back at the situation I can honestly say I was telling the truth! I didn't have the time nor the strength to become healthy! Those extra 45-50 pounds had slowed me down. Even though I would sleep for 12 hours I had little energy to take on the challenge of exercise on top of a full time job. Its obvious poor nutrition in the form of a daily diet of fast food had also clouded my judgement.
Thankfully I met Judy Tullius a successful BFL'er whose Judgement I trusted and whose Transformation Inspired me.
Judy convinced me to buy the BFL book. I did and read it from cover to cover and vowed to get fit. When I began my first BFL challenge I set the alarm clock four hours earlier than I normally got up...And dragged myself to the local gym. I didn't have the fastest treadmill trot. The iron I pumped weighed in the single digits. But six days a week I made it a point to get out of bed, get to the gym and hit my personal tens. I also followed the BFL nutrition plan and cut out those white carbs that were drugging my body and my mind.
Soon I found that the investments I made in exercise and nutriton were paying off in time! I no longer required 12 hours of sleep. 8 hours were just right. That extra time is still used wisely. I always pack my meals for the day ahead....I hit the gym six days a week and have plenty of quality time with my family.
The thought for today---time is precious. Invest in yourself and buy some extra time!
