Michele's Journal 2/6/2009 @ 9:30 PM

Minor setback! I am supposed to be starting both the BODY FOR LIFE and BILL PHILLIP'S TRANSFORMATION Challenges on Monday, February 9, 2009!

However, I had an alleged Chicago based Personal Trainer who turned out to be extremely unprofessional, unreliable and untrustworthy!

I had to quickly regroup and backtrack to a professional trainer whom I trust explicitly! Worked with him BRIEFLY in 2007! He's based out of Memphis, TN! However, he is extremely well known throughout the bodybuilding circuit, 100% reputable and trains the pro athlete bodybuilder competitors working with "A" list clients in the NPC, and IFBB! I am both lucky and proud to have him as my Personal Trainer...no matter the distance between us! I wasn't as focused or driven when he and I first met and am lucky that he remembered me and wants to work with me! His name is Cliff Bomar aka Rolex of HardBodies International!

Cliff Bomar
TENNESSEE - Director
National Physique Committee Judge
Founder, HardBodies Int'l Training Systems
and Sports Supplements
Most successful trainer (100%) of multiple Body 4 Life Grand Champions
ACE,CPT,NPC Official
Physique Augmentation Specialist
Body Symmetry Expert

Because of Cliff, I have my meal/nutrition plan, my list of supplements and he's getting me my workout regimen! The other part of my delay in starting the challenges is waiting on my shipment of supplements to arrive! It is going to take 3-8 days for delivery via UPS and I just placed the order today! Remember, Cliff and I reconnected today (Friday, February 6, 2009). I could kick myself, but, I'd probably pull a muscle! LOL The only reason why I didn't reach back out to Cliff was because of the distance. I was hoping to find a Personal Trainer who was reasonable and local so that I could physically train with that person at least once per week. Well, after some of the ridiculously high quotes that I've been given by Personal Trainers and then the fiasco with the one I am going to pursue in court, I am going to work with Cliff Bomar and relocate to Memphis, TN, if it comes down to that and I'm dead serious! If that is what its going to take, I'll relocate in a heartbeat, but, I'm going to see if he and I can make a go of it with the distance between us! I think that with his tenure as a pro trainer and my drive, I think that the probability of he and I making this coach/client relationship work is EXCELLENT!

Finally, I will be journaling online and hopefully video blogging frequently, on a number of different sites! However, the primary sites where all of this will take place are, but, not limited to the following:

So, please, STAY TUNED! THE BEST IS YET TO COME!

Okay, as you may know by now, the new Transformation Community is all about helping each other make healthy changes across the board: body, mind, heart and soul. For some this means breaking free from a lifetime of suffering from poor health and low energy. For others, it’s making the leap from a good life to a GREAT life! And for ALL it’s about going to the next level. There’s always a next level -- there’s always untapped potential waiting for us to make a conscious decision to reach up and claim it. There’s a level beyond Body-for-LIFE, and that’s what Transformation is all about.

Happy New Year!

Twas the day after Christmas, and all through the house
Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.

The cookies I'd nibbled, the eggnog I'd taste
At the holiday parties had gone to my waist.
When I got on the scales there arose such a number!
When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber).

I'd remember the marvelous meals I'd prepared;
The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared,
The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese
And the way I'd never said, "No thank you, please."

As I dressed myself in my lover's old shirt
And prepared once again to do battle with dirt--
I said to myself, as I only can
"You can't spend a winter disguised as a man!"

So -- away with the last of the sour cream dip,
Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip
Every last bit of food that I like must be banished
"Till all the additional ounces have vanished.

I won't have a cookie -- not even a lick.
I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick.
I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie,
I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry.

I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life is a bore--
But isn't that what January is for?
Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.
Happy New Year to all, and to all a good diet!
