My Little Secret

Day 91

Here's something about me that most of you don't know. Sunday will mark the completion of my first "complete" Body For LIFE Challenge. The reason that I used the word "complete" is because I've started a number of challenges over the past several years and generally give up around week 6. But, not this time.

My husband didn't even know. Although, he probably suspected something was up with the whole pantry clean out episode. There are a select group of fellow BFLers(as we like to be called) that know I've been doing this. I can't help but give them a little shout out ... what's up Stef, Clara, and Sharon (aka Wonder Woman). Sharon is my coach. Our Team "NO EXCUSES" is looking to win this challenge. I'll be sending in my Before and After pics and essay next week. Wish me luck.

Why keep it a secret? I suppose it was mostly because I was afraid that I would fail. And, why come clean now? It's not like I haven't been chronicling my progress for months right? Well... it's because I'm going to start a new challenge on Monday. Now that I know I can complete a challenge, I'm going to do it right out in the open for all to see.

This challenge will be even more intense than my last from an exercise standpoint because I'm so much stronger than before and I'm eager to kick it up a notch. The official Body For LIFE Challenge names a Grand Champion each year. The prize for Grand Champion is $25,000. There is a $10,000 prize for the winner in each category. I'm competing in the 30-45 year old group. I don't think my results from this challenge are Grand Champion worthy. But, I WILL get there. It's not even about the money or the recognition really. It's about getting my life back.

Getting my life back is exactly what I'm doing. Gitty UP!

Cheers!
