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.

Week five begins!

Time is speeding by! It seems just like yesterday we began this Ultimate 12 week Body for Life Challenge. It may also seem like its taking forever to transform into that person we want to be.
Beware of "Impatience." It can kill our best efforts!
Like me you may have jumped on the scale this morning and found that your weight doesn't match your goals.

Case in point. I have been "on point" for the past four weeks. I'm doing this by the book.
I feel like a million dollars. Full of energy. My eyes are clear....my mind is strong and I know that my body is changing.
But that scale is telling me I have gained three pounds since I took the first step in this challenge four weeks ago.

What should I believe? That scale or my energy meter? Today I'm trusting my own equipment...my mind, body and spirit. I have complete faith in BFL. I have developed a renewed faith in myself. My goal? To keep doing what I am doing....and make it to the end of week twelve....lean and mean. (Lean for sure.)

Note: I want to take a moment to publicly thank, Don, Stephanie, Jessie, Tara and Mary for their year long challenge to create one of the most exciting BFL events I have attended. This weekend in Tennessee ranked right up their with the 2004 Champions' Weekend in Colorado.
It couldn't have come at a better time for me!

Note: A special thanks to BFL Champions, Steve and Angel Cater. I am honored to call you my friends! By the way...if you ever get the chance to work out with either of these amazing Buddies....you're future workouts will never be the same.
Case in point? For over two years I have been doing what I thought was the perfect Dumbell curl. Well...after Angel got done with me...I know know what the perfect form is! Wow what a difference. The clients she trains...are among the luckiest in the world.

Today's question?
What do you plan to do today...to reach higher in your efforts to complete this Ultimate 12 week challenge?
