“Change comes from with-in”

I posed a challenge out there to anyone interested in joining in a 3 month (12 week) lean down! And the responses I have been getting are awesome! I love it! You guys have really shown me I am not alone in wanting to change my bad habits before they take control again! “NOW IS THE TIME”

I received this email this morning from a fellow member of the challenge and it really brightened my day to know I am not the only one truly taking this challenege seriously!

Thank you to all those who are with me in this! 

“Gentlemen,

This is it, this is your last night before we change everything about us. First it starts with the mind lets get our minds set and get ready to do the unimaginable and give these people something to talk about. I’m talking about us bringing shame to all the doubters out there saying they won’t make it I got news for you and them its called I look good naked how about you. Once we get our minds set the rest is a cake walk, once we have conquered our minds and get rid of the junk that says you can’t do it and just go out there and do it. Plus we have each other for moral support so next time you see someone eating a BIG MAC and your are struggling with your Tuna, just think I have come this far and I am not going back I refuse to die of heart attack by time I’m forty. If we do this, this will be the beginning of a revival in our lifes not only physically but also mentally. Let show these crappers what it’s all about. So enjoy your last day before the beginning of something that will suck but will pay off in the long run. In closure who’s with me.

Response:

It really means a lot to me that you all have decided to join me in this challenge! This is not something I am taking lightly and I know deep down this can mean big things for all of us when we complete this for our selves. To truly know that we can and will not let our weaknesses be a driving force for us. Like Daniel says this is going to be a huge mental battle as well as physical and its going to take all our combine willpowers to help us control our eating and our exercising routines. I know we can do this; as long as we have each other and our pure will of determination we can accomplish anything! We are not getting any younger and it’s about time we started living for ourselves and thinking about our health, because frankly it’s truly all we have!

Please don’t forget (I know you don’t want too) BUT remember to take a BEFORE picture of yourself!!!

Trust me this will be a huge motivation! To see yourself for how you truly are and not the “fake in shape” image your mind creates for yourself! It’s really a hard shock and will make you realize why you now eat that tuna, broccoli, and half cup of whole grain rice combo and why you don’t need to drink beer, or eat that desert, and why you need to get up and exercises! Denial is the reason we all have fallen and I am sick of hearing “DENIAL” from us its time we except the facts and do something about it!
