A day late in May found me trying to figure out how to enter a body transformation contest . The grand prize was a trip for two to Maui!! I had never done anything like this before. This contest was going to be awesome! This wasn't a random drawing type of contest. This was a results oriented contest! All I had to do to win was be the person who had the best physical transformation over a 98 day period. Well lord knows I needed to transform my physical being and this contest came to me as a "sign from the Universe". I had asked in my morning meditations for help and guidance in my life, especially in regards to my health. Later that morning I saw an email with the heading, "Transform you body and Win a Trip to Maui". Well I went to High School in Maui, I have friends in Maui AND I needed to transform my body! The Universe is full of amazing grace, you need but open your eyes.
Step one: I needed to purchase an E-book called Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle (BFFM) by a guy named Tom Venuto. Tom is a natural body builder and the guy sponsoring the contest. The book promised to be my key to success!
Step two: I needed to post my intention to enter the contest on the Inner Circle Members Only Website for BFFM. To do this I needed to post pictures of my "before transformation" body in a bikini. Three poses where required, Front, Back and Side along with a picture with a newspaper for date verification. I didn't even own a bikini!!
Step three: I had to overcome my fear of posting before pictures. I knew they were going to be horrific. I knew that looking at a picture of myself in all my fat glory was going to be difficult and I had to be brave enough to let others scrutinize me as well.
So what WAS I thinking?
I remember thinking that I needed to be brave and trusting of the Universe and all it's magical ability to create Light and Abundance in my life. I had been actively meditating for "Health, Wealth and Happiness", it had become my mantra. It was now time for action, meditation alone was not going to transform my physical being, I needed to sweat some. This body transformation contest was right inline with my desires and I did feel The Divine in the way things so easily unfolded and in the way it all made sense to me. I had received a direct answer to a plea I had implored upon the Universe in my morning mediation. What more did I want?.
You need but ask............says the Universe
I took the below picture on 8/31/2011 the last day of the 98 day body transformation contest!
