started BFL Challenge today

June 30, 2008

Hi,

I've been reading your posts for the last week or so, getting ready

for

the BFL challenge, I started today. I've been loving your posts. I've

very glad I joined the group.

Six years ago I started my first challenge, and did two back to back

and saw great results, then I started a third by my marriage when

downhill quickly so I tanked on that. I started gaining weight before

the divorce and it continued. I'd like to lose at least 35 pounds,

not all in one challenge, of course.

In July I celebrate the five-year anniversary of leaving my (really

awful) marriage and decided to do something wonderful for myself.

Since BFL helped empower me so much when I did it then, I wanted to

try it again. I spent all last week preparing.

When I did my first two challenges, I was a full-time stay-at-home

mom. Now, I work full time and have two teens at home. I am the sole

caregiver of the kids. I am also 48 now instead of the 42-year-old I

used to be.

I am looking for suggestions on staying consistent on the exercise. I

am planning on getting up at 5:30 a.m. and doing free weights at

home -- what I'm doing now -- but am considering joining a gym in two

weeks, after I get back in the habit of working out. Any ideas are

appreciated.
