Eric, are you shooting for before or after Denver? Uncle Dave

Tennessee Body-for-Life Champion's Weekend - Oct 23-25th 2009 Knoxville TN

Yes, I know this is a BFL event, but it's also an INCREDIBLE opportunity for us, "Mid-South" Transformation members to GET TOgether! So many of us old BFLifers are now in Transformation, including some BFL Champions and we're going to Champion's Weekend the week after Denver. We will still be flying sky high from all the love and excitement and everything we experience the week before at Denver! We're continuing the party, "From the Rockies to O' Rocky Top!" Bill himself and other Transformers were there last year!

Now, because of the hard work and sacrifices of my INCREDIBLE wife Michele, I GET TO go to Denver and TN Champion's Weekend both. And some Transformation GET TOgethers too. So, this is NOT something "instead of," or a replacement for any Transformation event or activity. Should not be for anyone.

But if you are like me and live in the "Mid-South" area of the U.S.A. (Especially TN, MS, AL, GA, KY and even parts of NC, SC, VA, IL, and IN) and want to take every opportunity you can to meet like minded people, BFLifers and Transformation members just like you, who have made major changes in their life following the teachings of Bill Phillips, Champion's Weekend is a place to do that and more.



See you in Denver! See you at a GET TOgether! And see you at Champion's weekend!

Marty

Can you believe August is upon us already?? Where did summer go? Did it even start?

Everyone is invited to a fun filled day this weekend here in Maine, Satl, August 15th. Liz & I have actually changed plans a little. We are planning on meeting at Wolfe's Neck Park in Freeport (off Bow St about 5 mins. from LL Bean) around 11am for a hike through the woods where you will enjoy the oceanic views of Casco Bay, see several of the Maine islands as well as robust wildlife including osprey. Because it is a state park, there is a fee to get in. From what I can tell from the website it is $1 for kids ages 5-11, $3 for residents and $4.50 for non-residents.

From there, we will drive to my house (which is about 15mins north of Freeport) for a potluck lunch. Jeff & I will provide the first lobsters for anyone interested (and if you are taking a free day, we can provide butter too!!). If you would like more than one, they would be $4 ea. Please let me know asap if you need more than one so I can purchase them (sorry, I wish we could afford more). I will also be providing the EFL strawberry cheesecake for dessert. Liz is bringin some veggies & dip as well as pasta salad. We are looking for a few more side dishes or apps. Let me know if you can bring something.

The Wallflowers are also going to be performing at LLBean's summer concert series that evening at 7:30 for anyone who an can't make the hike but would like to come later or is spending the night and is looking for some entertainment. Again, let me know if you are interested so we can make addtional plans as needed.

The weather is suppose to be hot and humid here with temps around 85-90.

We are trying to get a head count so please either post here or drop me an email. If you have any questions or need further info, please do not hesitate to email or ask.

Hope to see you all there.

Clarissa - thank you for the calendar! Maybe the list can get a permanent home on the Events tab or somewhere like that. What do you think? Maybe too much programming for right now, but maybe a plan for the future.

Australia Invites You to its first Transformation Meet and Greet
In a first for the Transformation Community the Aussie contingent is sending an open invitation to everyone in the community to pack there swags, slap on some sunscreen and come for a BBQ down under.
"Paul" and "stuartclues" from the big island down under are hosting thier first meet and greet in Melbourne on the 23rd August.
At this stage we have been overwhelmed with registrations with both Stuart and Paul having signed up and we are hoping to at least double this number.
Whilst not confirmed we are hopeful to secure Bill Phillips as our Keynote Speaker along with Coach, Clarissa and all the other Transformation Champions.
If this is not possible we will probably just go for a run, burn some sausages on the BBQ, down a protein shake and tell some white lies about what great shape we are in.
So if you are at a loose end next weekend we would love to see you.
Free transfers from the airport in the back of the Ute have been arranged for all international guests with free accommodation on the couch.
Please RSVP to "stuartclues" or "Paul"

Thanks Clarissa! That's an awesome help! Hey, I was in Texas, when are you coming to Illinois/Indiana?

I'm sorry to say but the Maine M&G has been cancelled for tomorrow. Please feel free to email me with any questions.

hopefully AZ will have another soon Great idea to do the calendar, Clarissa! makes life soo much easier

I would love to see Clarissa in Illinois!

August 29:th there will be a get-together in Stockholm, Sweden.

This is quite short notice but hopefully some of you can join us.
Everyone is welcome that are a member of this site, it doesn't matter if you just become a member or if you have been a member for a long time!

This day will be a lot of fun, and the main idea is to get together for support, networking and having fun together. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or if you have been a Transformation/BFL-fan for a long time, everyone is welcome!

We will start in the morning at

10:00 having a NIA-class. NIA is an aerobic training with a lot of dance and yoga influences, it's very individual so you do the movement your own way, so you can't do any of the movements or dance-steps "wrong". It's very free and a lot of fun. This is for everyone, even if you haven't done any exercise in ten years or if you are super fit. If you think you can't dance or do group-training, you are wrong, this is for everyone! And there will be exclusive T.com people on this class so it's a small group and we will have a lot of fun! The teachers name is Inger Lindell, she is a very inspiring teacher, I've been taking her classes before and can truly recommend her. Read more about NIA, below in this post.

12:00 Lunch.

13:30 it's time for workshop/coaching with Risto Arcilander. He will talk about goals, self image, self esteem, how to organize your time and priorities, and a lot more. You will have the opportunity to look at your own life, why you lose focus on the goals you make sometimes, where exactly you lose track, and what patterns you need to change. He will provide us with tools and to techniques to all of us individually, that will help us to reach our goals. This workshop is of course also exclusively for T.com people.

16:00 The meet-and-greet day is finished. If someone wants to hang around or go somewhere afterwords we can do something together, let me know if you have some suggestions.

Four of us participating in this get-together-day will be running "Tjejmilen" the 10k race for women the day after (august 30:th), everyone that likes to come and cheer or just hang out at the festival-area are more then welcome! If you want to run with us, there is still time to enter, write me an email as soon as possible, and I can help you register.

If you want to join us for this meet-and-greet, just send me an email, or write in this thread.
If you have any questions about this or about where to stay, please let me know, I'll be glad to help out.
