What's That Bubbling Up?

What an amazing week at sea we had on THW Dinami! I'd say that starting out with a 937 pound weight loss for the week was pretty spectacular! Everything about this group seems spectacular!  I know we've just left our home port but I have a feeling that this cruise is going to rock our worlds!

It was fun to see the passengers pick up their photos at the photo gallery while they showed off their cruise folders! Wow, we've got some artists traveling on this trip! They also represented their muster stations well, by turning in all their homework for the week!

Glenda, our Cruise director, had a great time reporting all the outstanding weight loss for the week! Congratulations to  EVERYONE for an outstanding week of weight loss. It seems to me that we've got some cruisers planning to break some records!

Here's a look at our top teams for the week!

Noon: Team "Titanic...We're Going Down"  Betty and Stacy  5.94 % for the week
5:30:   Team "Sassy Lasses Lose Our Asses" Wendy and Tanya 5.52% for the week
7:00:   Team "B.B.O.P. Babes Be On Program" Jen and DeeAnna 6.11% for the week

Congratulations to these three teams, who I know, worked hard this week to start off this challenge by doing their very best!  They were rewarded by our generous sponsors for the week, Barry Brandenburg, Law Firm and Glenda Bigalky, MA. Thank you for supporting our Team Challenge time and time again with your first week sponsorship! Our three teams walked away with $100 each and the all important immunity idol...this challenge, life preservers!  I can't wait to see how these 3 teams will decorate them for next week!

With all the celebrating this week, I got a little serious as well.  I talked about all the emotions that must be "bubbling up" this very first week being on program. You want to find out "what's up with me?"...quit using your drug of choice and see what bubbles up! It's so easy to use food to take off the edge, sooth the emotions or numb the pain.  I'm sure all of our passengers were feeling a little on edge this week, their emotions felt a little raw and pain had to have been bubbling up! As hard as that might have been this week, it's encouraging too. When things bubble up...you can deal with them!

I made my most passionate plea to encourage ALL the passengers of THW Dinami to "do the work" this team challenge! Just losing weight on a great nutritional plan is not the answer to permanent weight loss. Dealing with our issues that 1. caused the weight gain and 2. kept us from losing the weight is what it's really about!

I introduce my series "Change Your Thinking Change Your life" and challenged...really challenged our clients, no matter where they are in their journey, to download the first week and begin the work of this great 10 week program!

YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK:
Go to www.healthyweigh.com and click on STORE. Download week one "Understanding Your Beliefs ~ The Key to Permanent Weight Loss" and do the homework provided.

Extra ticket for "NOT ONE STINKIN PIECE"

Dinami...Strength and Power...our teams sure showed a bunch of that this week! Here's to another week of following the outstanding nutritional plan and beginning the great work of dealing with the things that are bubbling up!

Our itinerary points to Hawaii next week! First port of call...can't wait! ALOHA!

Always encouraging you,
Letha
