Bill Phillip's | Transformation

Day 13 - Excellent Book

I havn't seen anyone make mention of it on this site, so I wanted to give you an exsellent book to read as you go through this transformation.

The Book is called Finally Fit at 50 and is written by past BFL champion Porter Freeman.  Porter was one of the winners profiled in the Body of Work video Bill Phillips produced.  The book is available on Amazon and cost about twenty bucks.

Instead of covering basic training techniques or provding recipes, Porter takes the reader on his journey.  From the time he was a self admitted 260 pound fat-ass, through his 15 week journey to 190 pounds.  He talks about the changes he's made, not just physically, but also mentally and spiritually.  The book was valuable to me because I could identify with so much of what Porter shared.  Only a perosn who has been really fat and felt the shame knows what it is like.

One word of warning, if you are an English teacher or someone who is very particular about grammer...you may not want to read the book.  It was not best editing job I've ever seen...but in porters defense, he admits that in the begining.  In fact, the grammatical mistakes give it a very honest feel.

If you need motivation, give this book a try.

Hope you are having a great weekend.

Love and Peace.
