Based on how my life has changed in the last month, and in the spirit of David Letterman's Top 10 lists, here's my
Top 10 Ways to Spot a Woman on Body for Life:
1. She wakes up before the alarm goes off.
2. She never walks out the door without a water bottle.
3. She uses acronyms like UBWO and HIIT.
4. At the gym, she scribbles notes on a clipboard.
5. She needs a whole laundry basket for her workout clothes.
6. At the grocery store, half of her cart is produce.
7. She's the one eating the grilled chicken at the neighborhood pizza joint.
8. She's the one drinking water and eating a nutrition bar at the multiplex.
9. She can often be found rifling through her closet for smaller clothes.
10. She actually looks forward to getting on the scale.
What's on your list?

Sharon, I like your list. You are such an inspiration! A lot of those could describe me. Regarding # 10, my 10-year-old is getting very tired of me always talking about it but I can't help myself sometimes!
