M1 | Day 28

28 days......reminds me of the Sandra Bullock movie of the same name. For those that havn't seen it...a very funny but poignant movie about a young woman who is an alcoholic and checks into rehab for...you guessed it...28 days.

Why is 28 days significant...because that's how long it takes to ingrain a habit with a few days extra thrown in for good measure.

In one scene she asks her doctor when she can start dating again. His answer. Buy a plant, when you have kept it alive for 6 months, buy a pet...when that is still alive after 2 years you can start dating.

Point is.....28 days ago those of us who started transforming made a decision that hopefully will affect the rest of our lives. We decided that enough was enough and today was the day we wopuld change forever.

We have now ingrained certain habits that will stand us in good stead forever...but...we are not there yet.

We still need to keep the plant alive and the 84 days of the transformation challenge will help to reinforce that.

At the end of the next 84 all of us will be in a position to positively affect others...by the way we look, talk, move and act... let's all make a goal to use our transformation as a role model to those who are in need of transforming.

SHOCKING FACT - THERE ARE MORE OBESE ON THE PLANET RIGHT NOW THAN THERE ARE STARVING PEOPLE.

Let's all use this time to be a catalyst for eradication of obesity...A noble goal I'm sure you'll agree.
