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.

Change your mind...change your body.

The EAS Slogan, "Change your mind...change your body" is empowering. Six little words that when put together and taken to heart make big changes in lives.
How many of us once had the notion that we were to old, to fat, to tired, to busy, to rich, to poor, to fearful or to clueless to adopt a different set of rules to live by?

How many of us were once so tied into living our lives no matter how unhappy for fear of moving out of our comfort zone?
The books, Body for Life and Body for Life for Women give us a step by step program that when we choose to adopt it will change our minds.
They show us how to banish negativity. How to develop a can do attitude. How to reach out to others so that they too can experience this positive change.
It's true...within 12 short weeks minds can be changed. Within 12 short weeks bodies will change too.

Each day I see proof of this when I read the BFL Guest book. Many of our BFL buddies offer testimony on how this program has brought them a new, positive way of thinking. We read about their daily victories and their monthy achievements. Hitting tens in the gym, eating clean day after day....guilt free enjoyment of freeday.

And then there are the reports of lost inches, smaller sizes and medical checkups with lower blood test readings and enriched relationships with family and friends.

Can something as simple as changing one's mind make a difference in the way we look and feel and react to those around us?
As we'd say here in Minnesota..."YAH YOU BETCHA!"

Believe in the power of self. Change your mind and you will change your body and so much more!
Make this Tuesday the best BFL Tuesday of your challenge. When you hit your tens...don't be afraid to shout out "OOF-DAH!" (yet another Minnesota word..uttered during a tough moment.) And rejoice in the knowledge that you are doing what it takes to make this life of yours the best life it can be!
