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.

Confessions of a Champion...

I have a 5 pound rule. And I find, now after vacation...I am under the gun.
This morning I finally jumped on the scale. Actually it was more like a gently and very timid step...after all it had been nearly three weeks since the last time I had ventured any where near that darn machine.

Despite my best efforts to work out and follow the BFL program while playing in the sun and enjoying the Southwestern cuisine---I managed to reconnect with five pounds of fat. What do I do? Do I nash my teeth and feel sorry for myself? Do I figure that I may as well give up and get fat again?
Do I just beat myself up and continue to eat the things I know will undo all my great efforts over the past 2 1/2 years of healthy living?

NO, NO, NO, NO....NO!

I know what needs to be done and I will do it. It is that simple.
I need to jump back on the BFL PATH and stay there!

One of the tricks I have used to do that is to schedule rewards. Last night I registered for the Tennessee Champions event in October. I have made my flight arrangements and reserved my hotel room. Barring an airline Mechanic's strike I will be there---a day early just to enjoy an early evening workout at a nearby gym!

After talking with those who attended last year's big event I know the weekend will be a blast! I will get to see all my favorite BFL Champions and meet future Champions. Just knowing that I have this event to look forward to will help keep me on the BFL Path.

Please tell me what rewards you've planned for yourself?
If you don't have one yet, consider attending the Tennessee event. From experience with other BFL events I can tell you it will be one empowering weekend that will help you change your life!
For more information...go to the Club directory on the BFL website and click onto the link for the Tennessee club. All the information about the weekend is there.

Now--I have to get to the gym and hit my tens!
Have a great BFL DAY.
Your buddy,
Michelle
