Re: I need help and inspiration

[Guest guest]

I'm going to tell you what's got me going in the right direction now. I have

been following the

program for five or six years. BUT I don't knuckle down and really do it. I

eat six meals, I

work out like a should and I don't sweat the small stuff. I never binge any

more, I don't idley

snack and my free days aren't usually that bad at all. I just don't dial it in

either. I'm to

the point in my life where I need to make a career change and I've decided to

get my Trainer Cert.

Until I get that last 40-50 off, no one will take me seriously, even though I'm

one of the best

powerlifters in the country. I'm in a job with a total wanker boss right now.

Everytime I think

about not getting up and going to the gym or eating more than an exact portion

or stopping at a

Starbucks or Specialties in the afternoon, I ask myself " Do I want _____ more

than I want to get

away from my ass clown boss? " The answer is always the same. I don't want

anything as much as I

want that clown out of my life. The question for you is " What do you want

more? "

Just finished reading the BFL for Women book. I read the original

BFL years ago and don't remember a thing I'm going to start

reading it tonight.

BFLfW gets mixed reviews on Amazon. Many of them quite good,

but some that really dis it and say to just go with the BFL. Some

reviews said that there were a lot of negative messages in the book

-- I looked at them as reality checks

The workouts in the BFLfW don't require that you have a gym

membership or a lot of equipment -- a few dumb bells and a jump

rope will do (a weight bench helps). It's definitely for " light lifters " ,

but then most women are, unless you've been doing a weight lifting

program for years.

Got a library around? I suspect most libraries have the original BFL

and may have the women's version. And I don't know about your

library, but ours will order in (or transfer in on loan) anything you ask

for.
