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.

I am so proud of you! You have stuck with it and today you have moved into week two. I hope you enjoyed Sundays freeday. A quick word here about the day following freeday; You might be feeling a bit sluggish today. There may be a feeling of bloat, maybe a headache...or even a twinge of guilt. After my first freeday I felt it all. Then another BFLer reminded me that those feelings are there for a purpose.#1)It reminds our brain how we used to feel every day when we over loaded our plates and laid around like a slug.#2)It reminds our body that we are not going through famine. That yes, food is readily available...and we dont have to go into starvation mode.The good news is, by this time tommorrow you will be feeling fresh, alert and full of energy again, If you jump back onto the Body for Life program today and continue to build your best body ever.As we start week two, remember to rotate your resistance exercises. Last week we did two upper and one lower body workouts. This week it will be two lowers and one upper. Cardio remains the same. Carry that BFL book into the gym and study the pictures for proper form. These first couple of weeks is all about mastering the program. Even if you feel right now that you dont have a clue---keep doing this and you will solve the mystery of maintaining a muscled and toned body...YOURS! Remember---consistancy is key.Now some house cleaning chores. --Friday---we got lots of responses to Steves suggestion that everyone share their "Eureka Moment." Donna, Robin, Peter, Sylvia and Steve shared theirs. Please go to my 0/23/05 blog and read them. Moments like those will soon be yours!--Note to Kathleen in California. Hey Girl we ARE doing this together! Thats one of the BFL secrets for success.--Paul in Ireland. Congrats on the successful challenge. I wish I could be at your seminar...to hear your inspirational story. Of course your sprinters are welcome to join the fun here. The more the merrier.--John in VA, mmmmmmmm that Freeday Potato sounded tasty!--Peter in VA....I love it! You WILL be finally fit at 45.....cause you are ALMOST there at 44! 13% BF. Can you hear me cheering?Question for today:
