Our teams out did themselves today showing up looking like teams! Not only did they dress the part today, but I heard stories of how they acted the part this week by offering their team mates great encouragement! We saw props, heard cheers and even a couple of poems to prove that WE IS GREATER THAN I.
Our noon challenge awarded the jackets to a team for the second week in a row! Congratulations to team "Barely Breathing" with a weight loss % of 1.9 for the week! I guess it's good think there's room on the jacket for another date...they'll need it!
I'm still smiling thinking about the costumes that showed up at Six. I'll be posting some pictures so we can all reminisce! Team "BG Belly Dumpers" took the win for the entire day with a weight loss % of 2.94 for the week! Congratulations Tony and Jessica...you are spending a luxury night at the Monaco Hotel down town Portland Courtesy of Craig Thompson, General Manager and one of our very own, from team "Thompthins" Thanks Craig!
With 5 weeks left in the challenge we focused on a life principle that is life changing...The Buck Stops Here!
YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK:
Read this life principle every day of this week. Out loud if possible...here it is below.
From this moment forward, I will accept responsibility for my past. I understand that the beginning of wisdom is to accept the responsibility for my own problems and that by accepting responsibility for my past, I free my self to move into a bigger, brighter future of my own choosing.
Never again will I blame my parents, my spouse, my boss, or other employees for my present situation. Neither my education or lack of one, my genetics, or the circumstances of every day life will affect my future in a negative way. If I allow myself to blame these uncontrollable forces for my lack of success, I will be forever caught in a web of the past. I will look forward. I will not let my history control my destiny.
The buck stops here. I accept responsibility for my past. I am responsible for my success. I am where I am today, mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally, and financially because of the decisions I have made. My decisions have always been governed by my thinking, therefore I am where I am today mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally and financially, because of how I think. Today I will begin the process of changing where I am mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally and financially, by changing the way I think. My thoughts will be constructive never destructive. My mind will live in the solution of the future. It will not dwell in the problems of the past. I will seek the association of those who are working and striving to bring about positive changes in the world. I will never seek comfort by associating with those who have decided to be comfortable.
When faced with the opportunity to make a decision, I will make one. The rise a fall of my emotional tide will not deter me from my course. When I make a decision, I will stand behind it. My energy will go into, making the decisions. I will waste none on second thoughts. My life will not be an apology, It will be a statement. The buck stops here. I control my thoughts. I control my emotions. In the future when I am tempted to ask the question, “Why me?” I will immediately counter with the question “Why not me?” Challenges are gifts, opportunities to learn. Problems are the common thread running through great men and women. In times of adversity, I will not have a problem to deal with; I will have a choice to make. My thoughts will be clear. I will make the right choice. Adversity is preparation for greatness. I will accept this preparation. Why me? Why not me? I will be prepared for something great.
I accept responsibility for my past. I control my thoughts. I control my emotions. I am responsible for my success.
The buck stops here.
It's going to be an amazing week when you take control of the buck knife. Looking forward to seeing you next week with some great results!
I hope you'll join me Thursday at noon or six for my 30 refresh class..."Happy New Year"
Always encouraging you.
