Spring's a Comin'


The Daffodil Principle was our inspiration today at the Team Challenge. We were surrounded by daffodils, got a few to plant this week and listened to a great story about one woman, who year after year planted daffodil bulbs one at a time to create a magnificent display of beauty.

Our noon group provided our winner for the week. Team "Porkelsons No More" won the jackets with a weight loss % of 2.17 for the week. We awarded the winning team with Sea Hawk tickets, two stadium blankets, 12th man flags and even some football playing cards to use at their tailgate party! Congratulations to Dave and Jennifer...you guys did it! Sponsors of this great gift were The Parkin-Rego family and The Healthy Weigh.

Team "Ripcord" won the jackets for the second time tonight with a weight loss % of 1.74 for the week! I overheard them, on their way out scheming about the addition to the jackets for next week. Their consistency paid off tonight. Good job!

We had more sponsors to thank this week as we gave out gifts from Gena Bailey with Kaiser Permanente and Debbie Gardner with State Farm Insurance. We so appreciate your support of our life changing program.


YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK:
Plant your daffodil bulbs!

Today's challenge was all about doing the work today...and seeing the results later! You will plant those bulbs this week and not see the results until Spring. and just think of how you'll look by spring!

Here's what the daffodil principle taught us ...

learn to move toward our goals and desires one step at a time,(often just one baby-step at a time)
learn to love the doing,
learn to use the accumulation of time

When we multiply tiny pieces of time with small increments of daily effort, we too will find we can accomplish magnificent things. We can change the world.

Have a great week...really looking forward to next Tuesday!
See you then.
