About Me
- Name: M.
- Location: Minnesota, United States
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.

First, Id like to start out by thanking Peter, Fabio, Ray, Steve, Conrad, Bonnie, and Robin for their powerful advice on yesterdays blog focusing on Day one. After reading their posts I got really pumped and my BFL efforts took a giant step forward! Thanks!Today--as we begin day two of our Ultimate Challenge some of you might be feeling a little sore. That first workout may take a day or two to get over. Just learning proper form, the proper tempo, and the equipment can be overwhelming but trust me...as the days and weeks speed by you will become an expert in the gym. Make sure you check out the tips in the Body for Life book. Its like having a trainer at your disposal 24/7.As you begin this second day...Id like you to consider the reason you decided to change your mind and your body. Was it an event, a comment...or a feeling that made you decide to bury for good your old, unhealthy habits?For me, the defining moment didnt come during a weigh in, nor did it come following a warning from my Doctor. It came during a shopping trip for a pair of new summer shorts at the "Fat Lady" store. I found my way to that store after I couldnt find anything at the "regular" store...that didnt bunch up in thighs. As I purchased my new shorts the sales clerk asked if I wanted to open a charge. I didnt hesitate. When I got home I realized that new charge card was my ticket to grow as big as I wanted. (Now I could always find clothes that fit.)Well---that was my turning point...the day I decided to make change.What was your last straw? Please share with us as we build the Ultimate 12 week transformation challenge.
