Today was supposed to be my first day.  I woke up with a sore throat and sinus.  I think I caught Jazzy's cold.  I am going to stay in a rest for a few days.  I am shooting for Thursday now, as my first day.  I think if I drink plenty of fluids and stay in I should be good as new by then.

Today is the day before the Challenge.  I am feeling a lot of emotion from fear to excitment.  Don't ask me why, but this is just how I am feeling today.  I am printing out the kit and going to get some supplements today.  I love the Myoplex shakes.

 My husband will be taking my before photos sometime today.  So far my family is very supportive and this is what I really need.  It will take a few weeks to get into the groove of things, but I am ready mentally to take it on.  I will probably post my before pics tonight or tomorrow.

I remember reading Bill Philips' book about 12 years ago.  He made a statement that I will never forget.  He said if a person can transform his body and discipline it, then a person can carry that into their daily life.  He said that it can help a person to become successful in business and even other aspects of life.  I am sure that is not exactly how he worded it but that is what he was meaning.  So I am here to test this out.  Let's see that happens!!!!!

Getting closer

Today I went to the gym.  Of course I have not started the challenge yet, but I am getting into a good routine of going to the gym every day.  I am preparing my mind several days beforehand to take on this challenge and complete it.  I thought if I started a blog and shared it with others, this would help me to complete it sucessfully.  Then if I don't feel like working out or continuing, I will look like a failure!!!  LOL  This will motivate me to finish and win the challenge.

Beginning a new transformation

Okay!  This is my first post for this blog.  I plan to post photos every two weeks and enter a blog every day.  Starting November 29th, I am going to enter the Body For Life Challenge.  It is a 12 week program of fitness and life changing habits.  I tried to do it in the past but never completed it.  This time I plan to complete it and win the Challenge.  I plan to make life changes now that will carry into the future.

Jasmine is going to be my motivation.  I bribed her to help me and when I win, I will give her some of the money.  LOL  I know it is going to be a tough journey!  I have done it long enough in the past to know it takes not only physical strength, but also something inside to drive you to complete it and be successful.  At age 41 I am tired of being chubby, tired and no motivation.  It is time to make a change.  I hope to share this journey with others and maybe be an inspiration to some.  I hope you enjoy my blog.
