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.

Fail to plan...plan to fail

My husband and I are planning to visit Albuquerque later this month as part of our vacation to New Mexico. Vacations have always ment a "free pass" to eat what ever I want and put my Body for Life program on hold...but not this time around!
With some help from my husband and a Great BFL Buddy in the Sunny Southwest, this time I have a plan to continue and succeed during this my Ultimate 12 week challenge.

My plan:
-First all our hotels/motels have swimming pools and work out rooms.
-Second I am stocked up on by EAS Bars and Shakes to make sure I am always close to a meal.
-And third...I plan to surround myself with some BFL buddies midway through our vacation.

One of my BFL buddies, Ray in Albuquerque started his latest challenge the same time I did. During the Champions for Life cruise I mentioned we'd be down in New Mexico in June and he suggested we look him up.
Now the old Michelle (before BFL) would have said something pleasant like..."that would be nice" and forget the idea.
The new Michelle (stronger and more confident) emailed Ray this weekend and suggested a meet-up for coffee, lunch or dinner...and a chance to talk BFL. I suggested he invite along his BFL buddies in New Mexico.

Ray is busy pulling something together right now and I am so excited! There is nothing better in the middle of a challenge than to surround yourself with BFL'ers working to accomplish their personal best!

I know it's short notice. But because of our travel plans we only have one day and one city that this meet-up will work. Sunday, June 26 in Albuquerque.
If you think you'd like to join us...please contact my buddy, Ray. He's left a message and his email address on the BFL guestbook today and is asking for an RSVP.

If you can make it...I'd love to meet you and hear your success story! And believe me...meeting Ray will be worth stopping by!
Your BFL Buddy,
Michelle


On Sunday, June 26th.

Dear Michelle ... Should you ever find yourself flying into the nation's Capital, I'd expect a similar visit by you (one of my favorite BFL champions) ... John Lesko
