Assignment #1 (T2)

Before our First Transformation Challenge (T1), my fears controlled me every hour of everyday. During our T1 I know I made great improvements learning to recognize fears and letting go. Many things I felt then, I know I still struggle with but at a lesser level. So many of these things I know are still aggravated by my environment. In time, I am hopeful those things can be eliminated or will be forgotten. http://www.transformation.com/jeanettemdi...

Assignment #18

The Universal Truth of Transformation The Transformation process has been a journey I never expected. As someone that had watched Bill Phillips in “Body of Works” and “Body for Life” on VHS so many times, I’d never finished a challenge myself. Yet the Body for Life premise was something Mario and I have utilized for years when we would refocus in our individual fitness goals. Starting this Challenge was 100% Mar...

Assignment #17

Unveiling My Personal Truth I have to make choices and do things that make me happy. If doing things for others make me happy too… great. But doing things to just to make others happy… not so great.  I’ve spent the last 3yrs trying to make the people around me happy by doing the things they wanted, but not what I wanted. I made choices and did things that I actually didn’t want to do. At first it made them happ...

Assignment #15

Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway (hand written 5/8/09)The fear that I had to overcome during this challenge was surviving. Not only was I concerned completing the 18 weeks and assignments, but in the past anytime Mario and I tried to eat healthy it always caused a huge stress on our relationship. To say we are grumpy when we are hungry is an understatement. When we started the challenge our relationship was no where near being in good condition to ...

Assignment #14

Transforming Beliefs As I mentioned in my Assignment #4, I’ve mentioned that when I started this Challenge I was already in the process of losing weight and wanted to continue to lose more. I thought joining T.com would keep Mario focused to make it easier for me to accomplish this goal. Things between us were complicated and keeping focused was a struggle for us together. I had no interest in doing assignments or joining an accountabi...

Assignment #13

The Power of GivingThis decision is quite easy for myself (and I know Mario too). I would choose to give the $10,000 to our Church, Our Lady of the Lake. Here in Michigan so many families are struggling finiancially. And unfortunately that has also included us from time to time in the last 9 month. The church tries to help families with their utility bills, but with so many families in need I know the funds were limited. I would ask Father P...

Assignment #11

Giving up the fight.A couple weeks ago I read Stoney’s Blog, “My Dark Past Is Now My Greatest Asset.” I read this a couple weeks ago and was struggling to forget the past. I wrote him saying, “Finding closure to the past is something that I am striving for everyday. I had been hurt so badly by someone I loved so much. But I hurt that person back. Perhaps to truly have closure, I'm going to need to look at myself and forgiv...

Assignment #10

Where am I in the process?Some days I feel I know exactly where I am and other days I’m not sure. I know I have made such progress here on t.com internally. I could have never made so much progress on my own without such wonderful guidance from the Champions and my accountability group. I am truly grateful to all and for God pointing us in this direction. Mario and I had this conversation last night before the broadcast. How is it...

Assignment #9

Learning from each other,Something that I'm learning to do is to reach out and try to learn from those around myself here on t.com. Learn from individuals who have traits that I would like to reflect. As well as from individuals who have successfully transformed inside. One of the greatest and most frequent influence in my process has been Heidi. She is just a beacon of "positive" light. Just a joy to talk with and to be a part of ...

Assignment #8

My lowest level habit today has to be Fear.   Fear keeps us from doing many things. I can honestly say I was raised to have fear. I always thought they were healthy fears. Like I would never have ditched class in high school for fear of getting caught! I’d never put my hand too close to a fire for fear of getting burned! What I’ve learned however is Fear takes on many forms, levels, and eventually can become debilitating. Especia...

Assignment #7

The Power of Right EnvironmentsWell for me it is quite easy to define which is the most powerful environmental change that I have made. That is the Right Environment of People! Deciding to cut off people who are so bad for you shockingly can be the most difficult choice one has to make! Sometimes it is a permanent change, sometimes temporary. Getting rid of the bad apples in my life was the most liberating experience I have ev...

Assignment #6

Changing how we seeFirst, I think for me one of the biggest things I have come to realize is I have to live my life, my way, to be happy. Don't get me wrong there are always compromises but, if I'm not happy how I'm living it, I'm not going to be happy with myself, nor are the people around me. I've already tried it. I tried to live a way that I thought it would make people around me happier. I tried to gave them exactly ...

Assignment #5

 Setting Deadline, Goals, & Rewards.The Deadline really is predefined for us being May 10th. But I would like to reach my goal a week or two earlier.My Goal is to get to 125lbs. So far during the Challenge I have lost about 6lbs. I feel that I look like I’ve lost more but I use my Wii Fit as my scale almost every morning and it keeps a nice little chart.  After reading Assignment #5, I decided to really do the math calculation...

Assignment #4

I have struggled with Assignment 4 for a couple of weeks now. I find that the reason I signed up for the Challenge is not the same motivation that I continue with today. The past couple years have been a struggle. The last year worse than any soap opera I could have ever imagined. And I nearly lost my marriage a nearly 18 year long relationship because of it.I originally agreed to sign up for the Challenge with my husband for a couple reasons. Fi...

Jillian Michaels "30 Day Shred"

Wow... Shred is an understatement!!! We got this video 3 days ago and it is kicking my butt! It has (3) 20 minute workouts, each an increased level as you improve. When you break it down into moves it doesn't seem like it should be difficult. A handful of jumping jacks, jump rope, pushups, crunches, shoulder presses and squats, etc, but put them all together at a quick pace and it is definately Jillian Style, Lol. We'll let you all know how ...

Jillian Michaels Wii Game

We just got the Jillian Michaels wii game late last weekend. A little disappointed though, for a wii game the graphics have much to be desired! As well as figuring out how to perform the proper movements so it works isn't easy. As a "game" I don't enjoy it much, but then I remind myself... as if Jillian is going to make this easy, Lol. If you think of it as a "workout", and if you put the time in the exercises. I think it can ...
