Rally Caps!


I love baseball! Today's Team Challenge was all about baseball! The complete game, the quality start, and the rally caps to shift the momentum for a strong finish! The seventh inning stretch gave us an opportunity to stretch a bit and sing with Jimmy Buffet, Take me out to the ballgame! 119.7 pounds were lost today at the Team Challenge!

The noon time group continues to impress me with their outstanding effort and results! They lost 60 pounds and had one little "Hoo Ah!" Team 'Pot Luck Pastors' not only won the prize for the noon group with a weight loss % of 2.69...but they won the top spot for the day! Congratulations to Barry and Bruce, I'm so proud of the two of you!

The coveted jackets were passed on to yet another deserving team tonight at six. Team 'Champions: Team Challenge' won with a weight loss % of 2.6 for the week! Both teams were awarded with "Healthy Weigh for Life." These four contestants were elated and we celebrate with them!

As we are approaching the last innings of this game, the focus today was about having a strong finish! sometimes it takes a rally cap to shift the momentum.

How many times have you started the game…you’ve started to lose weight, felt a lot better, started to fit into clothes you haven’t been able to wear in years, people telling you how good you look…but never finished the game!? Had a quality start, but had a weak finish?

Question for you…how much thought have you given to your weight loss program after the team challenge? Will you have a complete game? Did you come in to this game to play a few innings and stop short…or do you want a quality start and a strong finish?

Do you know how many games are won and lost in the last 3 innings? How you perform from here on out will determine the finish you have.

Your first 7 innings have been awesome. You’ve put forth great effort…about now is when the team that really wants the win, steps up and puts on their rally caps!!! It’s time to put on the rally caps.

This is when you step up and say…this is my win. No one can take this from me. I am the only one that can win my game and the winning starts now. Right here with me and my rally cap!

Don’t let this quality start end without a win. EVERYONE of you have the opportunity to win…not the $1000…but something more important than that. The big win, going for the home run( the tater), being at goal weight, and learning to experience the rest of your life on maintenance!

YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK:
Come in next week with your goal date written down on a piece of paper.

Rally Caps people…this is when the real fun begins!

See you next week!
