Inspiration!
Today on the Body for Life Guestbook, BFL'er Tami from Snellville, GA asked who inspired you? There are some great responses and they got me thinking as well.
My inspiration came at Christmas time in 2002 when I ran into a friend at the local shopping mall. I hadn't seen Judy Tullius in months...and when I did bump into her...I nearly walked past her. Wow...Judy's transformation was amazing. So amazing that later I featured her as part of a series of reports on weight loss I put together for my television audience. By adopting the BFL program of balanced nutrition, regular exercise, resistance training and supplimentation Judy dropped many dress sizes and truly changed her life. Best of all...Judy continues to live her BFL lifestyle. She radiates health and beauty...and continues to promote the program through her words and actions.
When I saw what this program had given Judy I decided at that instant to adopt it as my own. My first effort ended after just four weeks. Six months later I picked up my BFL book, reread it and tried the program again. The second time was "charm," and I completed a full 12 week challenge. My third challenge brought me the title of 2004 BFL Champ, in the 50+ women's group. Victories earned all because I opened my mind to a new way of life. I owe my new life inpart to Judy and BFL...and my family who continues to support me every step of the way.
I can't help think that BFL is just like throwing a pebble into a calm pool of water. First the plunk... as the pebble hits it mark. Then the first ripple forms and and expands...sending positive energy through out the pool. More and more ripples follow. Action and reaction. First we are inspired, take action.....reaction follows and then we inspire! As a member of the BFL community we are all inspirations. We may never know just how many lives we change...but trust me we are changing them one powerful ripple at a time.
