Well I made it to week 4. I have to say I Feel AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BFL ROCKS!!!
4 week stats are : -6.5# & -5" & -2.31 BF% & -2.13 BMI
It is so much easier to follow the BFL lifestyle this time......don't know why but it truely FEELS like the way of life now!
It all kinda made sense after I read my Daily Devotion from Joel Osteens book " Your Best Life Begins Each Morning" this morning it said:
Firm in Your Faith
If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand firm at all Isaiah 7:9
UNDERSTANDING THIS: GOD WILL help you in life, but you cast the deciding vote. If you choose to stay focused on negative elements in your life, if you focus on what you can't do & what you don't have, then by your own choice you are agreeing to be defeated. You are conspiring with the enemy by opening the door & allowing destructive thoughts, words, actions & attitudes to dominate your life.
However,if you'll get into agreement with God, if you'll focus on your possibilities, your faith can cause God to show up & work supernaturally in your life. But its up to you. It depends on your outlook. Consider this: you are today what you believed about yourself yesterday. And you will become tomorrow what you believe about yourself right now.
Yesterday I was walking on a cloud all day. I just felt smaller, can't really explain what is happening to my body & my mind right now. All I can say is SOMETHING is happening to BOTH!!!
For the first time in my life I am feeling POSITIVE changes in all areas of my life!

week 3
Well I just finished week 3. Will be doing pics this week. I have LB DOMS all the time. (that has never happened)
I have been finding new things out about myself during this challenge
1) I wasn't working out to my full potential before (I know this because I have NEVER had DOMS like I do now)
2) I really do love oats & egg whites
3) freedays are not as much fun as I remembered them being
4) I have made a lifestyle change
5) I NEVER want to eat like I used to
6) I start my day off in a positive way everyday by reading Joel Osteens daily devotion from "Your best life begins each morning"
7) I CAN get up at 4:30 AM to do a workout before going to work
So many people have touched my life during this 2 year BFL journey. I could NEVER thank them enough....BUT....IF you happen to stumble onto my blog/diary please know I THANK YOU for all you have done for me!

Two weeks into my challenge now. I totally love the BFL style. Last week was bad for me. I don't know if it was from the time change or the full moon but I was MISERABLE! I missed 1 workout & eating was not spot on, not awful but not great either.
So glad that this is a new week with a new attitude. I feel like I am back in the game this week. Just finished a very intense UBWO & getting ready to eat.
I read my Joel Osteen Morning devotional yesterday & it just felt like he was speaking to me face to face. It was weird cuz he was saying the things I was feeling like being unworhty & all. Well after I finished reading it I realized I was on March 20th NOT March 15th! MISTAKE???? I doubt it, there are NO mistakes!
Going to try to blog my challenge a week at a time just so I can see where my attitude goes.

BFL New Challenge
WOW....you don't realize how much you miss something till it is gone! I have been away from the BFL lifestyle since last September.
I started a challenge on March 1st. I feel like I have learned so much during the past 2 years.
I look back to past challenges & when I look at the weights I was lifting well that would explain why I didn't get the results I wanted.
I now am lifting to the MAX! Cheating is not even thought about at all!!!! THAT is a first!
I want this so badly. I KNOW I can get through this & will see some major transforming!
I looked back at all my BFL challenges & every week there was a change. May not have been much BUT there was a change! I went the past 9 weeks without any change at all just lots of depression from working out for almost 2 hours a day! I guess that is OK for people who have 2 hours to kill a day BUT I do not. I don't even have time to watch TV or read a book. My days are FULL! I honestly STEAL 3 hours a week to watch my 3 favorite shows. But to even think of seeing them I have to run in the house after work & hit my workout & DH must make the dinner or I miss that tiny bit of relaxing time!
Michelle & I started this challenge together as we both were feeling kinda down on ourselves & wanted to stop this insanity. It really helps to know that your friends are not there only to push you BUT to grab your hand & pull you along if you are feeling weak!
HUGE thank you to all that I call my friend!
