Fantasy Challenge, pre-panning continues....
Yesterday I suggested we begin to create a "Fantasy Challenge" with our tips to those who are new to Body for Life. I am thrilled with the response. If you didn't get a chance to read my blog from Thursday please do! There are some wonderful pre-challenge tips from our BFL Buddies, John, Jessie, Cindy and Peter. Thanks guys and girls....I love your ideas and your spirit is catchy!
Today as I read the BFL guest book I was impressed with all of the entries. I can't repeat all of them here....but I'd like to share this one!

As my successful buddies point out, Planning is essential to a successful Challenge.
Recently, I was approached by a man who wanted to talk about BFL. He had seen my transformation story on the local newscast and had bought the book and started the program for herself. We had a wonderful conversation. We talked about weight lifting and cardio and then he confessed that he wasn't really thrilled with his outcome. Our discusion moved on to nutrition.
I asked how he liked the six meals a day. He's face went blank. " Oh I did Weight Watchers a little and then I did a modified Atkins." he said.
I then explained a little more about BFL nutrition....and said. "Doing BFL half way is like trying to run a marathon in a full body cast. You might move a little....but you will never finish the race."
He understood that....and said. "I guess this time I better read the whole book."
It is funny how so many of us buy the Body For Life Book, read it in a night and set off on a 12 week program without really understanding what it is we need to do to succeed. The book is the blue print for building your Body for Life. Don't forget to read the fine print!
Even after several challenges, I keep that book next to my night stand and read from it nightly. I find something new each time I open it.
preplanning? Read the book. Re-read the book....and if you don't understand something ask a question on the guestbook or call the EAS toll free number and talk with the experts. Your BFL awaits!
Now---what pre-planning advice would you like to offer those preparing to accept the challenge? Please let us know!
