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.

Back on line...

For a quick note:
I've spent the last week recuperating from surgery.( Not life-threatening!) But I took that week to simply focus on getting back on my feet. All is well, but I have been ordered not to exercise for the next four weeks. ARRRGH!
In the meantime I am going to focus on the things in can focus on like nutrition, 100 percent.
There is a saying that BFL Success ...is 80 percent nutrition and 20 precent physical activity. Most sayings are rooted in fact. I plan to hit the floor running in about a month and rebuild muscle losses. For me that is much easier that removing fat.

About a year ago a good family friend was impressed with my transformation and wanted to know how I did it. I shared my Body for Life experience,I gave him the books and tapes suggested he try the program. He thanked me and that was the last time we spoke about the program. A few days ago he stopped by our home and I was amazed at the changes in his appearance. He had lost 60 pounds. He looks ten years younger and he says he hasn't felt as good as when he was a young man. When I complimented him on his hard work..he said he owed it all to me.
I thanked him and then reminded him that he did all the heavy lifting. (literally and figuratively.) And that it was he who deserves the credit.

Successful BFL'ers see positive changes in their own lives each day they stay on this program.
On occasion we have the privilege to see the same or even more remarkable changes in others who are inspired by our own successes.

That's part of the magic of BFL. We change, others are inspired and change...and they go on to inspire others to make change.

Here's to BFL and its power to empower!
Have a great day.
Your BFL Buddy,
Michelle
