Hey Everyone,

Today is Day 3 of my challenge – and I will not lie and say that it’s easy. But SUCCESS has no Shortcuts

Check out the Special Deal section also on my blog 

Before I go into all the details, I want to tell you about the last 3 days.
On Saturday we had our
Annual Get in Shape Cookout at Stone Mountain Park, I was
mentally preparing to start my Challenge on Sunday Morning. So what did I do,
I enjoy great food at the cookout. Dell’s BarBQ, Shelly’s Cheesecake, and so more things
I should probably keep to my self. It’s a rarity that I overeat, but not a rarity that I eat something
sweet. And Shelly’s cheesecake is something SPECIAL. THANKS SHELLY

On Sunday morning, here’s where the DRAMA start. I usually get up early and put on some coffee,
make some toast and watch TV, while everyone else is still in the bed. But, this Sunday was different, totally
different. i wake up to a picture on my Iphone from Marcus (my son) of a piece of cheesecake
with Praline Syrup on it,
labeled “Breakfast of Champions”. Of course, I had to get up and witness the eating of
something so wonderful. LOL

So , I proceed to fix a cup of coffee, No Creamer, No Sugar – Oh that’s not apart of your 30 Day Challenge.
All I can say was “SHUT THE FRONT DOOR”, now I’m moody already and hungry. So I go to fix my first
shake, it’s Capuccino flavor Protein Shake – nice and warm. After about 30 minutes – I’m starving and wanting
my normal coffee and toast, but can’t have it.

To make a long story short – All I did on Sunday was sit on the sofa with my dog Prince Titus and pouted, rethinking
this entire challenge. And what happens while I’m on the sofa minding my own business, my girlfriends says, Shannon,
what would you tell your students about sticking to goals – JUST DO IT and stop the whining. OMG

So I make it through my first day, and my second day was pretty cool because I was at the gym working most of the day.
Staying busy and away from food and people with food really helps avoid eating out of my diet. So Day 2 was a success.

Day 3 is today – and I’m sitting in front of the computer and unfortunately thinking about FOOD. But what’s really funny,
I’m not craving anything, nor am I really hungry. It’s probably old habits that make us want food and think about what we
will eat at our next meal. But I think I will survive today – if not you’ll know tomorrow

On with the reason WHY I am taking on this challenge.
It’s a few reasons, but I will stick with the important reasons first.

I just had a Birthday on August 14th, and a picture was taken of me on the beach
in Hilton Head Island. My stomach was sticking out like I was pregnant, the same
look I had when I was 320lbs. I really was embarrassed to admit it, but MY ASS IS FAT. 

I may be in great shape, but don’t have the look that I want to achieve. Somewhere along the
way – I lost it or maybe I haven’t had it in soooooo long, I forgot what it looks like.

Well, I was listening to the radio on the way from Hilton Head Island and heard the commercial,
about Dramatic Weight Lose (DWL) and remember that Scott reached out to me years ago to try
his program to see if it was a good fit for my clients. So my girlfriend Melissa called and made us
both an appointment. We get there and really wanted to see what all the hype was about.

Something you should know – Both Melissa and I are Certified Nutritionist so we have a lot of knowledge
on somethings that work and some that are BS. So I listen to the sales spill and realized that this
may be a good chance for me to lose a few pounds and also know if it will work for any of our students.

Now after all the sales spill and decision making time – Scott Cameron comes in to talk with me. He remembers
contacting me and say that he has clients that complete the program with much success, but they don’t have
a place to go for Phase Three which is working out regularly. BINGO

Well we have several places
