One thing I do every day is log onto our Australasian forum found at www.eas.co.nz. I love the forum, it provides such a wealth of information and support to all people starting, thinking, or just completing Body for Life. Here you see the dreams of people turn into real possibilities, you feel the changes happenning in peoples lives, and you can also experience sometimes the pure raw honesty of people who are failing in one way or another. People who feel that they have really "stuffed it up" and they log on to get a helping hand. I personally feel that these people haven't stuffed up at all, they have reconised a bad habit forming, and they are strong enough to log onto a health and fitness forum to admit this and to ask, how do I get back on the ball. To me thats not stuffing up, thats fine tuning the goal. Its because of real people with real problems who ask for help that makes this challenge so special that the results at the end often do shape more than the persons muscles.. This challenge really does SHAPE peoples lives. So what do you do when that intial Drive you had at week one turns into Drift by week 5. Ok.. lets break it down

A successful challenge needs several elements: Drive; Regularity; Intensity; Victorious thinking; and Excellence in all you do. These elements make up the acronym, D.R.I.V.E.
A challenge that is going nowhere is one in which Drudgery has replaced Drive, Routine has replaced Regularity; Inconsistency has replaced intensity; Failing has replaced Victorious thinking; and Tediousness has replaced Excellence. That forms the acronym D.R.I.F.T.

And drift describes exactly what has happened—a gradual drift in attitude, enthusiasm, faithfulness and vision. What was once the most important thing in life can become just another chore under these circumstances. What is the solution? Take two weeks off between challenges. Or, shake up your entire routine, including the days you work out, the exercises you do, the machines or equipment you use, the diet you eat, and the exercise routine you follow. Take a moment out in every day to do something for someone else without getting caught. Nothing jump starts enthusiasm like helping others for the right, selfless reason.
Like most unpleasant matters, this too will pass, and you will soon be back on the right track and on your goal DRIVEN path again. One thing I personally always remember is, "I will focus on my reasons for doing this challenge, not on reasons to give up the competition" Have faith in yourself, visualise your goal and go full steam ahead, in the right direction.

Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams
Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential.
Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is
still possible for you to do.

Talking about champions, If Brad is just one of my male inspirational champions, then PAM BROWN has to be the most admirable female champions of all time. Wow, talk about having faith in one's self and VISION.

Pam's story is one of setting and achieving goals that even she thought were unattainable. A lifelong struggle with diet and weight found Pam weighing 244 pounds at 49% bodyfat in January 2000. Eighteen months later, she was onstage at her first bodybuilding competition weighing 144 pounds at 5% bodyfat. She has placed in the top five of the women's heavyweight division of the NPC Team Universe national bodybuilding championship for two years running, and she is an inspirational champion and part of the EAS team. Pams website is at www.customizedphysiques.com. and she has some great training journals and calendars to keep you motivated and on track every day of the year. Pam and her crew of dedicated Personal trainers conduct Pam Camps regulary so if you are living near the Colorado Springs area I suggest you contact Pam and find out when the next fitness camp is on.
