My Challenges.
I've been asked just how many official EAS/BFL Challenges have I accomplished and sent in my packet.
The short answer is four.
This is my long answer...When I first discovered BFL I was inspired. Despite my new mindset and tons of enthusiasm I began that challenge and failed within four weeks. Life got in the way and I went back to my bad old habits.
Several months later in August of 2003 I attended my first EAS Energy Camp for Women in Golden, Colorado. When I got home I began my first successful challenge. Wow! It was magical. For 12 weeks I ate clean, learned how to exercise and the weight fell off. At the end I was down 23 pounds and had gained muscle.
My second challenge started immediately on completion of my first one. I went on to lose an addition 14 pounds. That was the challenge that brought me my title as EAS/BFL Champion Women 50+. Looking back it amazes me that I lost most of my weight by week four of this second challenge!
I took a couple of weeks off and began my third challenge. I lost around 10 pounds and continued to build muscle. I had heard that three challenges will result is successful lifestyle changes that will last a life time. And that's just what happened.!
Since then I have maintained my weight loss within 5 pounds. I continue to work the program and build muscle. I call this maintenance period my "fourth challenge." It has lasted many, many months.
I will begin my "fifth" challenge this summer when I return from our Champion's for Life Cruise. Goals include a six pack and rock star arms!
My experience has taught me many things. The first is that this program works if you work this program. Second don't view a bad day or two as a "failure." Continue to set goals and view those "bad" days as a chance to learn and move forward. BFL is a journey through life. There will be obstacles along the way. This program offers the power to meet those obstacles head on and the knowledge to conquer them.
