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.

What is it about Mondays?

Mondays have always, always been the day I start a diet....at least that was the way things were some two years ago.

Monday would arrive filled with the promise of a new, sleek body. I would steer clear of all the bad foods and pray that Tuesday would result in a second day of dieting and one more step toward my goal.

Most times I could last a second day on my new diet. Sometimes a third day....but ultimately the fourth day would bring my new eating habits to a crashing hault.
Looking back now I realize that none of the diets I tried were sustainable. At least for me.
The symptoms of these crazy eating patterns would drive me crazy...cause headaches...depression. The list goes on and on.

Diets for me don't work. I had nearly 50 years of practice...but they still don't work!
What does work is Body For Life. A balanced nutrition program, regular exercise and the support system it provides.

Its Monday. No...I am not starting a new diet. Today I start another BFL challenge. My goals have been revised a bit since my very first challenge. The mindset remains.
Fail to plan...plan to fail.

Best of luck on your new challenge ... I too have started another on April 4th ... Perhaps we can track each other's progress and BLOG comments as a means to keep each other honest and on-track? ... I do enjoy your thoughtfulness on-line ... Your BFL pal, John
