Ali Vincent's Blog

I am sitting here tracking the Boston Marathon…… checking on Ali as she runs.  And I can’t help but reflect back…….

Two years ago april 15^th Ali became the First Female to ever win the Biggest Loser, and 2 and a half years ago, Ali and I were 100 lbs heavier (each) and trying out for a crazy television show!  My what a difference a couple of years make!

I can’t help but think isn’t life fabulous!  Better yet aren’t we as human beings awesome?  I mean ALL of us!  God’s creations!  Capable of amazing things.  And yet sometimes we forget.

Not that it’s easy to always remember.  When I was 53 and weighing in at 261, the last thing I could imagine was losing 100 lbs.  Or rather I should say the last thing I imagined was working out for 8 hours a day on a t.v. show!   And I NEVER would have imagined Ali running the Boston Marathon!  Ain’t life grand?!   ANYTHING is possible!  Where there is a will and patience you can go out and create the life you want!

You don’t have to have dreams of running the Boston marathon or even dreams of losing weight….but whatever your dreams are,  you CAN have them!  The evidence is all around you!  Just start focusing on what you want and why you CAN….. leave the boring failure thoughts out of the game!

At first when you are ‘dream creating’ it does seem like a ‘game’.  You might feel like you are koo-koo for thinking you can have your dreams……but guess what…..as you keep thinking you can and you gather evidence of why it is possible..and do everything you can towards it……. And WA-LA!  You’ll be running your ‘marathon’ or shaking that cute bootie or making that cash! 

Bottom line:   YOU CAN………….will you?

Boy this is crazy!  Nobody  blogs like Ali..she seems to have so much to say!  I on the other hand, seem to be at a loss for words! 

Anyone that knows me is probably laughing out loud, right now!  But it’s true!  It seems I need conversation to get me going.  I have a ton of opinions and I have never hesitated in giving them to just about anyone who is the least bit interested! J  so what’s up with this?

Anyway….can I just say I am sooooooo excited because I get to go with Ali to a lot of towns in America for the Famous Footwear, “Mind, Body and Sole’ Tour!  I get to be her assistant!  The good news is I get to meet of ton of you people out there in American cities, and the ‘other’ news ( not the bad news, cuz there is NO bad news) is, that I get to be the all important ‘personal assistant’!  I get to be the person taking a ton of pictures and some ‘flip’ video!  You will be able to check out Ali’s tour online on the Famous Footwear website.  Maybe I can turn into a professional photographer and videographer! J

Whatever I’m doing I hope you all come out to see Buba (that’s what I call Ali! ) if we are in a town near you! Keep checking the calendar on this web site to know where Ali’s gonna be!

 Honestly, ever since Ali won the Biggest Loser I, like you, have kind of been in awe of Ali!  She really is something else!  She works way hard to stay focused on helping herself and everyone else stay or get healthy!  It’s an honor to be her mother!  And I know that it is going to be a really fun time on the road and I’m thinking that then I will have a TON of things that I can BLOG about!  Check back!
