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.

One day to go!



This photo was taken June 8, 2006 without pro-tan, makeup, show suit, and hair done.
Today I weigh in at 132.8 pounds.

It's Friday and that means lie detector test. I will be participating in a natural show so they want to make sure all of us contestants are clean. With all of this chicken I have been eating---I am afraid I might squak all my answers!

Tonight I will be painting the pro-tan again. Then tomorrow a.m. it will be up with the chickens, makeup, hair, baby oil...a light weight session and then the competitors meeting at 9:15 a.m. at Bloomington Jefferson High School.
Pre-judging for my class starts at 10 a.m.
This is when all the decisions are made...according to my friends who have competed. I will have about a minute to demonstrate my accomplishments.
It's amazing when you think about the nearly three years it took me to get here...and it boils down to about a minute.

As for winning, I believe I have shared this with you before...I have already won. THIS has been a real empowering event in my life. Yet another turning point along the Body for Life path to fitness and health.

Learning about yourself and your abilities is the best gift you can give yourself and those you love.'
I hope to post show pictures within the next few days.
Thank you all for your support and love!
Your bfl buddy,
Michelle
