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.

Day 13!

Another Saturday has arrived. Since beginning our ultimate BFL challenge we are now two weeks stronger, leaner and healthier than we have been in years! (Or...months... as the case maybe.)

The weekends have always been pretty tough for me. Over the years I have learned that I function the best when I have structure.
Monday thru Friday I have my job. Each day I pretty much do the same things; Pack my meals, go to the gym, go to work, work and eat my 5-6 meals... and go home.

Oh but those weekends...anything can happen!
--Meals are sometimes delayed.
--Unexpected visitors drop by.
--Work out routines are switched around.
--Fill in the blanks.

These two days of the week have been my weakest link in the chain that I've forged during past challenges. In this challenge I've made up my mind to simply accept the fact that yes I can and will plan each day...but, I cannot control what happens outside my control.

Today, I'm going on a road trip with a good BFL buddy. I will take along several meals for the day. In the evening we'll stop at an eatery where we can order "clean." In between we will enjoy the fall colors, cheer on Cindy S. who is making her debut tonight in her first Fitness Contest. I won't be able to do my cardio today. But--hey...I can do it Sunday.

Tommorrow, I'll also putter around the house with my hubby and eat a few free day treats.

Yep! Another ah-ha moment. This "unstructured" time can be fun...if you do a little planning.

Today is day 13---Make it count!
Have a great BFL dAY!
