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.

Day4

This first week of our ultimate BFL Challenge is screaming by...arent you excited that youre not being left behind? In yesterdays blog Tracey, Peter, Janice, Sylvia and Mike shared their insight about how we "gotta want this."THEY ARE RIGHT! Wanting it IS key. Weve begun to push this ball up the hill, the momentum is building....we need to put our shoulder into it and keep pushing. If in this first week you screwed up...dont give up!! Remember, nobody is perfect. There are no PERFECT challenges. But there are many, many successful challenges that prove time and time again this program works if we want it enough, we put the work in and keep moving forward.Today Id like to focus on some not so "secret BFL weapons" to aid you in your efforts.The first is your water! Are you drinking enough water? Prior to BFL I didnt drink it straight. I had to mix it in coffee...and lots of it...to get me going each day. The rest of my day was spent sipping on colas. (Hey it was diet!) When I decided to drink water straight---consistantly through the day good things began to happen. It really is the stuff of the Fountain for Youth. Todays assignment---carry that water bottle around like your favorite blankie and use it frequently.The second is sound nutrition and supplimentation. Follow the recommended dietary list in the BFL Book and add supplimentation. Remember you are recreating every cell in your body. You must provide it with those essential building blocks. When it comes to supplimentation you have got to find a nutrition product that fits YOUR goals. My CURRENT goal is to lose that layer of body fat that many women have that covers up those killer abs we have been working hard to develop. Theres also that issue involving a tiny bit of "backfat." To remove those trouble spots during this challenge I am eating balanced meals which include Myoplex lite bars and myoplex carb sense meal replacement powder. I am also using Thermo DynamX and Carb DynamX.Today, drink your water...take a look at your goals and consider whether suppliments will help you reach them. Not quite sure which ones to use? The experts at EAS are just a phone call away. Theyll help you find the right ones for you. Call 1-800-297-9776.Now on to the days question; what is your favorite "secret weapon?"for building your Body for Life?
