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.

A mental exercise....

I remember the first time I picked up and opened a Body For Life Book at Barnes and Noble. The thing that really struck me was the color before and after photos inside the cover. Having already seen someone's real life transformation thanks to the program... I didn't doubt the photos were real.

While studying those photos I was struck with how much the people featured in the book had changed in as little as 12 weeks. All had dropped deadly fat and gained muscle to create their own hard, healthy bodies.
As impressive as their physical transformations were.... the biggest transformation I noticed was in their faces.

Today---when you have some quiet time...I'd like you to complete this little mental exercise.
#1)Take out your BFL book, your BFL Success Journal or go to the Success Stories on this website.
#2)Take a piece of paper. Place the paper over the peoples bodies.....so that only their faces appear.
#3)Now study their faces and compare the changes in the before and after photos.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words.
#4) Write down just five that discribe the changes you see in the faces of these champions.

Now If you have already completed your own 12 week challenge find your pictures. Repeat the exercise above.
Compare the smiles, the spark in the eyes...the confidence in they way you hold your head.

If you are just starting your challenge, remember this exercise. I know you will be amazed as I was at the what your own photos tells you.
