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.

Champions for Life

Just a few more weeks and I'll be on the Champions for Life cruise! I can't wait to meet the champions and soon to be champions who will be setting sail from Miami. I've learned that if you want to succeed you have to surround yourself with champions. When I first learned of this cruise I knew I had to be on that ship. It means so much more than a few days in the sun...and a chance to swim with Dolphins. (Although the Dolphins will be a high point.)

I just got my lipstick red bikini delivered.
For those of you who don't know the significance of that suit let me explain. There is a group of BFL women who have vowed to get fit and proudly wear a red bikini on the cruise. This will be our first official gathering of the "Red Bikini Society."

The idea is that "age" has nothing to do with fitness. As I approach my 53 birthday this month...I am proud to be able to actually wear a bikini. Red is a power color. It symbolizes the "power" of our transformations. Officially there are about 25 of us who have declared their membership. We even have an international member. Deb Rossi in Austrialia!

Our motto is, "When I grow fit and strong...I will wear red...the most powerful color of all."

I believe that any woman who accepts the EAS/BFL Challenge has a red bikini in her future. Along with that suit comes entry into the most elite club of all...the "Red Bikini Society." Can't wait for your to join us!
