Day3

Bonnie from Tacoma writes in the guest book today..."80% of success is showing up."Please on this third day of the Ultimate Challenge...show up. You are worth every second you invest. In yesterdays blog so many of you shared your "last straw," the event that propelled you into your new, healthy lifestyle. I understand the pain each has suffered in the past...and I celebrate your new zest for life!Pan, Kat, John, Fabio, Janice, Donna and Robin all stepped out of their comfort zone to change their lives. You can too!Today is day three. Its over the hump day---midway thru week one! You may be feeling a few aches and pains. First...I have found in my own experience that mild to moderate aches and pains are normal. I look at them as a "symptom" of positive change. They mean you are waking up your sleeping giant, breaking away from old, unhealthy habits....and finally reaching for your goals! (If those pains are severe--and consistant, please consider visiting with a trainer or your Doctor to make sure it isnt something more.)You may also be wondering if:A)You are doing things right. B) If this is worth the trouble.--If you are following the BFL book you are doing things right.--And yes...every step you take along the path toward health this week is worth every inch of new ground captured!Week one is all about education and adjustments. --Learn how to hit your tens.(Remember they are your tens, dont compare them to others.--Learn portion sizes and dont let anything stop you from eating at least every three hours of your waking days. (Gotta keep that blood sugar stable and a steady supply of fuel going to those re-awakening muscle fibers!) --Remember to spend a moment or two today envisioning your "new" BFL body. As BFL Champ Cindy Homan says, "Theres a lot going on under the hood right now" ...your efforts are already making a difference.--Surround yourself with champions! Their success does rub off!Porter Freeman tells us, "You gotta want it."Todays question. How bad do you want what BFL has to offer?
