Bill Phillip's | Transformation

I Am

Hi I'm Jeremy. I'm 24 years old and right in the midst of the biggest transformation of my life! I have read all the material I could get my hands on from Bill and his brother Shawn, and it has inspired a huge change in me, not just my physical body, but my mentality and spirituality has become much stronger than ever before. I am a work in progress, and the great thing about that is knowing that I'll be that way until the day I die, so life can improve from here! I just married the most amazing woman in the world, and no you can't have her. Her name's Ali, she is going to be starting the transformation challenge along with me. I'm loving life and thanking God for every moment that I have to impact others and create value for (hopefully) everyone I meet or spend time with.

My Favorite Charity

I love Make A Wish, St. Jude's Children's Hospital, although it's hard to select favorites when they're all doing great thing.

To me, Transformation Means

Transformation is so much more than physical. It is true how the saying goes "A strong mind resides in a strong body." But I like to think that both of those things are linked along with our spirits and beliefs, to create the incredible people that we are, both inside and out. I like to subscribe to the old Hebrew mindset, meaning that there is no difference, between body, mind, and soul, but that they are all expressions of each other, and when one is suffering so are the others. So TOTAL fitness becomes the focus of transformation, for us to think of ourselves as a whole being that needs to become fit and healthy rather than trying to target train certain aspects of our being. It's just like physical exercise.... you can't target train your abs and expect them to look amazing if you're not working all the other parts of your body as well, because EVERYTHING needs to be in shape for you to see the results you want, the results that you know deep down you are capable of. I know more and more everyday that as I go through my life day by day, TRANSFORMATION NEVER STOPS!

My Goals

I read Bill's book Body-for-Life after seeing Body-of-Work, and then I read his brother Shawn's book ABSolution. Needless to say I had all the motivation in the world to get started right away with a new healthy lifestyle. Since then, I have lost 26 pounds of unhealthy fat, gained 6 pounds of lean muscle, and reduced my body fat percentage from 21% to 17%. My starting weight was 229, and so far I am at 203 and still going. My goal is to reach about 187 pounds and to reach 10-11% body fat.

My Intentions

Your intentions are what you want to make happen in reality, and I believe that you should declare them as though they already are in the NOW, and then your thoughts, feelings, and actions should bring you towards your intention. So this is my intention: I am so happy and grateful that I have created a body that is in the best shape it can possibly be in, that I love every minute of my life because it's an opportunity to help people around me, and that I have (and always will) continue to transform not just my own physical, mental, and spiritual self, but those aspects of those who surround me as well.

Who I'd Like to Inspire

Everyone that I have the opportunity to! I believe that my purpose in this life is to create quality and value in the lives of those around me, to give them something they did not have before I happened to come into the picture. We're all in this thing together after all, and if we can't get ourselves out of the way in order to really reach into the lives of those around us, we're all going to be stuck wherever we are.... which is, in most cases, where we don't want to be.... so TRANSFORMATION is the way to make that change. As we all say here..... BE THE CHANGE, and in doing so, the people around you will start to change as well when they see the greatness that you've achieved.
