Blogging some BFL: Part I
This is my first post to my BFL blog. I want to share daily thoughts and inspirations to those who are doing BFL for the first OR fifty-first time! Sure, there may be lots of ramblings, but I am hoping to reach out and share what I can from my BFL experience in order to motivate and inspire other BFLers!
I finished my first BFL challenge in 2003 and achieved amazingly fast results that I was extremely pleased with! Visually, I didn't look completely different, but I had lost 3 sizes, a ton of inches, a ton of fat, and had gained countless energy and confidence. I had muscle strength and the beginnings of toned legs and arms for the FIRST time in my entire life! It was incredible and proved to be the turning point in my fitness history in that I NEVER WOULD HAVE TO LOOK ELSEWHERE AGAIN to find a nutrition and exercise program that worked. Believe me, I've tried them ALL!
I first started dieting, sadly, in the 6th grade after I stopped growing tall and started growing wide! I no longer was able to eat whatever I wanted, and with a family history of binging and eating junk food, I was in for a rude awakening! The next 14 years or so, I was on every diet and bought every exercise fad there was. I was stuck in that vicious cycle until I found BFL by some miracle at the end of 2002. By January, I had gotten the books and armed myself with knowledge I had NEVER been exposed to before! No where in school or at home had I been exposed to nutrition and a healthy body and how they are related. I didn't know about sugar being bad for you and protein being needed to build muscles! All I knew was that I "worked out" 6 days a week and NEVER saw any results.
That losing streak ended in April 2003 when I finished my first BFL challenge. It was 12 weeks later, and I felt like a totally a different person and had drastically improved my fitness level!
