First topic of discussion was from Body for Life by Bill Phillips, 12 Weeks to Mental and Physical Strength.
We discussed Part I, The breakthrough "When you gain control of your body, you will gain control of your Life". This section covered a couple of motivating stories from people that were successful with this 12 week program. It started with a young guy named Lynn who @ the age of 16 was shot in the abdomen by his friend from a gun accident. Lynn received 16 units of blood, went on to college and got engaged to a girl named Sara. While Lynn was in College he found out that he got HIV from his blood transfusions. This caused stress in his relationship with his fiance and after time Sara left. Lynn got very depressed and became quite overweight. He did Body For Life and was very successful, it helped him to break through his depression and make great gains in his life physically! (pg 5)
Next we discussed Danielle who was a 22 year-old RN and single mother of 2. She had been through a divorce recently and feeling like her life had gotten out of control. She watched Body of Work and also used her "before" pictures as an inspiration to help her experience breakthroughs with the Body for Life program. (pg 13)
Last we discussed Fred and Renee, this couple found inspiration in a magazine they had seen at a grocery store. They made breakthroughs together by helping one another being accountable! (pg 15)
After the review of these stories we were able to discuss the different things that motivate us in our lives! Each of us starts somewhere and finds what our motivators are. We came to the conclusion that having an accountability partner is huge with staying motivated and being successful.


Second topic of discussion was from Body for Life Success Journal by Bill Philips.

We were able to discuss the "Dream List". This is a list of words and phrases that come to mind when you think about what your life will be like after successfully completing 12 weeks of Body for Life. Once you have your dream list you take a few of the empowering words or phrases and use them to create your 12 week goals, what reasons you want to take part in the transformations, and what patterns or step you will need to take action. The discussion today was powerful and motivation for everyone. I hope after reading this Blog post you are inspired as well.
