"Si Se Puede"..."Yes We Can!"


We celebrated Cinco De Mayo Tuesday at the Team Challenge! The music got us in to a festive mood as we practiced our Spanish!
The teams showed up to do some business this week and together lost 150 more pounds! We're almost at 1000 pounds in just 3 weigh-ins!

At noon team 'Reddy Set Go' took the win for the whole day with a weight loss % of 1.71. Congratulations to Laura and Helen. You gals are looking good in your red shirts with those orange winners jackets! Barry Brandenburg, Attorney at Law sponsored our winners today with $100 prize! Thanks Barry, your support matters!

Team 'Spice Girls' were excited to win at 6 PM with a weight loss % of 1.69 for the week. Jane and Pat had a great week and it showed! Congratulations you two! Keep it up!

We got some great news this week about "Chow Time". Ron, from team 'Big Hinnes' is the manager of the Salmon Creek Albertons. They have offered to sponsor "Chow Time" for the rest of this Team Challenge. What great support from our local community. Thank You Albertsons! This week a couple of lucky winners took home watermelon salsa, just in time for Cinco De Mayo!

We got pretty serious this week as we talked about passing the buck! Accepting responsibility for your past, present and future makes all the difference in the world! The future has great things in store when we compleltly accept responsibility for our lives, never blaming another person, thing or circumstance for where we are today. There is no room to pass the buck..only opportunity to say..."The Buck Stops Here" right now with me! I hope that our Team Challenge particiapnts rush out and get the book, The Travelers Gift by Andy Andrews.

As we look in to week # 5 of the Team Challenge I encouarge our teams to kick it up a knotch with support and encouargenent for each other this week.

YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK IS:
Come to the Team Challenge next week with a visible sign that you are a TEAM! Encourage your partner throughout the week and then come and celebrate team work next Tuesday!

This week, I have more clients to thank for great gifts. Jerry and Becky...thanks for the pedomoters...Debbie, your "thin-spirations" will make a difference in lives this week! Community...that's what makes this Team Challenge so amazing!

Have a strong week...choosing to say often, "The Buck Stops Here" I accept responsibility for my past. I control my thoughts. I control my emotions. I am responsible for my success. The buck stops here.

Always Encouraging You.
Letha
