The Words You Speak Can Change Your Life!


Words carry enormous power. The power to heal and the power to hurt. The power to help or the power to destroy. Our words either spoken out loud or spoken internally have the ability to influence our behavior more than anything else we do!

Week # 9 of this Team Challenge was the perfect time to talk about words. As we head into our final week of this EXTRAORDINARY LIFE Team Challenge we need all the help we can get to finish strong. Our words will help us do that! The words that we choose to speak might be just the thing we need to change as we continue to re-write our stories.

Things are heating up as we head into our last week. The top teams are running close! Who will be the winner of the EXTRAORDINARY LIFE Team Challenge?

At Noon Betty and Katlyn did a little happy dance when they weighed in! They are doing a great job together as mom and daughter! They took the win with a 1.93% of weight loss for the week! Team 'Wild Zumba Lumpas' are working hard and it shows! Congratulations on the win and on receiving Glenda's "Back Pack" conference as a gift! It will be life changing!

Annie and Jenn did it again at Six! 'The Branches' won for the evening group with a 1.50% of weight loss. Congratulations you two. With all the things going on in your lives, you've impressed us with your continued commitment to taking care of yourselves!

We shared a little Sansgria for CHOW TIME, and celebrated another great week of weight loss. We've only got 82 pounds to go to break the all time Team Challenge record! I think we've got this thing!!!

It's hard to put into words what happens each week at The Team Challenge. This week I told a story that inspired all of us to think about change. As we focused on the power of words, re-parenting is sometimes necessary to begin to believe that life can really look different! I told a story about a young man named "George." He is our inspiration for the week as we had an anonymous donor come forth with tuition for the Fall Team Challenge to the client with the greatest % of weight loss this last week! Who's going to take it???? We're calling this one the "George Special."

It's exciting to be planning the finale for this EXTRAORDINARY LIFE Team Challenge. Tuesday at 6PM marks our 9th Finale! They just keep getting better! Come, invite a guest and plan to celebrate all that you've done in the last 10 weeks!

YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK:
Give away your postcard! We are now enrolling new clients for The Amazing Race Fall Team Challenge! It's going to be a blast!

Until next week, think about George...walk out your front door...live a life that only happens in the movies! :-) I believe!!!

Always encouraging you,
Letha
