I set myself a goal, and it started yesterday. I am doing the ‘Jillian Michaels Ripped In 30′ challenge.

There is a point in my life I feel I am reaching and Jillian says something that made perfect sense.

“Transformation is not a future event. It is a present activity…

I sent a message to a friend recently where I said “you are at a turning point, you have realised something is changing and this is the catalyst for transformation in your life”.

I am hoping to change many areas in my life, this first 30 days is just the start.

I am 37, and I am hoping I can reward myself with an awesome body to make up for the bad food, fat butt, big belly, lack of exercise, car crash of a life that has been my 30′s.

Anyway, this is the full quote from Jillian:

“Transformation is not a future event. It is a present activity…That is why you must bring everything that you have to give in every moment…And it doesn’t have to be perfect, it’s not about perfect, it’s about effort. When you bring that effort every single day, that’s where transformation happens, that’s how change occurs.”

– Jillian Michaels

Here’s to 29 more days of pain and change!
