It was another great Tuesday! We learned about a very important key to change, we celebrated more amazing weight loss and we had fun too. Have I told you lately that I love Tuesdays? This Tuesday was no exception!
At noon we not only celebrated one of our top teams for the day, but we got our first look at Glenda's "black rhinestone team" and my "good guy, all white team." We've got a friendly western competition going on as we speak! More about that later!
Team 'Cinching it Up' cinched it up this week and won with a 1.74% of weight loss. Congratulations to Helen and Sheryl, you girls are looking great!
At Five, team 'Faster Fillies' were just a little faster this week than the rest. They won the team prize with a 1.67% of weight loss for the week. Jeanne and Melody, winning looks good on you! Congratulations on your second weekly win of this Team Challenge!
The greatest weight loss % of the week was represented at 6:30! Team 'Slightly Waisted' took the win for a second time also, with a 2.15% for the week! Wow! Great work Rosie and Veleta! Can't wait to see how you decorate those horses!
All 3 teams were winners of a prize this week thanks to team 'Guns and Roses.' Six really great insulated lunch bags were given out to all the team winners this week! Thanks Ken and Lynelle for your support!
Thanks also to Helen E. and Steve L. for their donations that make such a difference in our Team Challenge. Glenda donated 3 of her Conflict Resolution classes as well. Those classes are priceless! (mark your calendars for March 5th)
Before we introduced our friendly western competition, we focused on a very important practice for permanent change...REWARDS! Last week was spent linking pain to old/destructive behavior. This week we focused on linking pleasure to new/constructive behavior. Everything we do, we do out of our need to avoid pain and seek pleasure. It is completely necessary for you to transfer what you believe pleasure is (overeating, indulging, etc.) to a new belief system (eating healthy, setting personal limits) for you to keep your weight off permanently. Rewarding yourself for new, positive behavior is a must! You will naturally choose healthy, low calorie options when your subconscious begins to connect to the fact that when you eat this way...you get rewarded!
YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK:
Make a list of rewards associated with accomplishments on the program, small victories as well as big ones...then reward your self this week! Bring that list into the clinic next Tuesday!
Now about those teams! We thought it was time for a little friendly group competition! We've divided the group up into two teams...The White hats...and the Black hats! I'll post below the rules of this contest...and the list of things you can accomplish this week to win! The winning group will be in a drawing for $100 visa gift card! One of you will win next week. How many tickets will you have in the drawing?
I'll also post the cute little song that my husband wrote especially for the White Team! Remember you'll want to sing it to the tun of The Beverly Hill Billies theme song!
Have a great week, even if you are on the black team! :-) What if...EVERYONE had a 2 pound loss this week and got a ticket for that? What a day that would be!
Below you'll find the teams and the contest rules...Have fun, lose weight this week, set limits and then reward yourself for them.
Always encouraging you.

This is a story of a team that’s thinWe’re all wearing white cause we all know how to win
We eat the right food and we lose all our fat…that’s why we’re wearing, the white hat!
We’re handsome…we're pretty
Next thing ya know, the white team screams
We lost more weight than the black team ever dreamed
We’re going to hit our goals and book spa stays

Trails that is
Stabilization...Maintenance

I guess the only way to prove you have signed in to the Blog is to leave a trail. In this case a cupcake trail, or a part of a trail since I am only 1/2 of the cupcake.Encouragent to all, losses big or small it is the direction we are headed that counts. Last week I had a brother in law from Wisconsin here. His favorite food is bratwurst, cheese, and buns with mayo-his idea of a classy resteraunt is Taco Bell and a value comparison is KFC vs McDonalds. In the midst of all that I made pretty good choices and had "minimal damage" Making changes works.
The Healthy Weigh has taught me so much toward my goal of a healthier lifestyle.Losing weight is just one part of long term management. It includes mental, emotional, and physical health. Your inspiration, motivation, and encouragement has helped with my personal success! I enjoyed an exercise adventure this week by signing up for a Pilates/Yoga class. I never would have done that 50# ago.
Thank you!
Good luck to everyone on the black team. Let's hope for a diamond day tomorrow!
