Interrupt Those Patterns!


We celebrated tonight as the final total of weight loss for the day was 104.1 pounds! To beat the last Team Challenge, this group needs to lose 97.6 pounds per week for the next three weeks. One down...two to go!

Our noon group awarded the jackets to a team for the third time! Congratulations to team "Barely Breathing" with a weight loss % of 1.53 for the week. Our thanks go out to Debbie T. of team "Raising the Bar" for the beautiful jewelry she donated for our drawing this week. Four of our team mates at noon and at six were gifted with these beautiful bracelets!

Our big winners for the day were in the building at our 6PM weigh-in. Team "Lighten the Load" took the team prize with a weight loss % of 1.71 for the week! Congratulations to Gena and Cheryl! It's been fun to watch you peel off those cubes of Challenge butter! A duffel bag full of good gifts, were presented to the team tonight!

Our Focus today was the concept of interrupting patterns. The habits and patterns that have caused weight gain...and the habits and patterns that cause people to put weight back on.
Interrupting patterns is a BIG and important tool to change permanently. Pattern interrupts need to be outrageous and fun. Interrupting a pattern, an old habit is like taking a CD of music and scratching the surface...back and forth, back and forth. Try putting that CD back into the disc player...that music is lost forever. The same thing happens with us, we must find a way to interrupt, scratch the old patterns and never experience them again.

YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK:
Practice an outrageous pattern interrupt! Write the patten interrupt on your program journal and bring it in to the Team Challenge next week. The most outrageous one at noon and six, wins a prize!

Two weeks to go teams...make them count!

Always encouraging you,
Letha
