The Bridge

What a day it was at The Healthy Weigh. Things seem to going along smoothly for both the black and white teams until Five O'clock when Glenda turned to me and said, "My computer doesn't work." We had a crisis! How do you run a Team Challenge, weigh people in, choose winning teams, celebrate 2 pounds loses, when you don't have the data?

Glenda did what any excellent counselor would do...she used it as a teaching moment! We learned about crisis,when danger and opportunity meet!

I did what any good motivator of people would do...I used it as an opportunity to change thought life! What if, (because we didn't have any numbers) EVERYONE lost weight!? We took a dangerous situation and created opportunity. As each client got on the scale at 5 and 6:30...we acted as if...as if EVERYONE lost weight! It was a great feeling and it left us ready to take on the week with positive attitudes! It's all about the thought life!

Glenda drove home worrying about job security :-) but called me a few minutes later and said,"My computer works!"
So...I've got some teams to announce and some celebrating to do...here goes!

At Noon team, 'Mini by March' took the win with a 2.15% weight loss for the week! Congratulation Peggy and Marian! You are going to be mini by March!!

At Five team 'Stranger Danger' won with a 1.74%! Joanne and Jennifer...you two are looking GREAT!

And at 6:30, our winners for the evening group and for the day was, team "Slightly Waisted" with a 2.59% of weight loss for the week! Rosie and Veleta...you are the winners of the day and the winners of the Spring Team Challenge! Congratulations!!

All of our winning teams won an invitation to Glenda's 'Conflict Resolution' class on Saturday! It will be a powerful class and you will know after attending that you won an amazing gift. Show up at 9AM on Saturday...Glenda will be expecting you! :-)

We still have some black and white team business to take care of next week. We'll have tickets ready for all the team mates that lost 2 pounds this week at 5 and 6:30...then we'll draw for that $100 gift!

Yesterday was an important day as we enter week 7 of this Team Challenge. The focus wasn't on what we've done or not done, the focus was on where we're going. This journey to lose weight isn't an easy one and looking past the bridge, seeing the future is crucial to succeed.

I announced the exciting news of our new location (same building BIGGER spot) and announced the "Bridge Special." The two weeks between this Team Challenge and the next one are the bridge that's going to keep you on the trail. A cooking class from Nancy and a team teaching motivation class from Glenda and me, will surely keep you inspired and charged up to head into Aprils' Spring Team Challenge! The exciting challenge those two weeks works like this: Every client who loses 4 pounds during the 2 week bridge will be in a drawing for "Healthy Weigh for Life!" That's right...it's BIG!
The regular price for these twelve weeks is $360. Through next Tuesday, March 8th, I am offering these weeks for $290. Many of you already enrolled and are in a drawing for a $100 visa card next week!

Seeing you through to your goal weight is what drives me and keeps me going! I was thrilled to see so many of you commit to your future and to living a life of excellence!

Wow...what a week it was. I'm believing that looking past the bridge is going to make a difference for you this week. You don't have 3 weeks left...you have a life time left. How are you going to spend it?

YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK:
Show up week # 8. No matter what!!! That's all...just show up!

I write today with great anticipation! Can you feel it?

Always encouraging you,
Letha
