Shoulds or Musts...Push or Pull??

Cabo San Lucas was our sunny port of call this 7th week of our Team Challenge cruise! We were inspired by our Alumni friends, Steve and Patty Loster who recently moved to Cabo to pursue one of their dreams! The changes they made at The Healthy Weigh, not only with their weight, but with their thinking, gave them the confidence to make this big move!  Steve and Patty, We celebrated you Tuesday!

Tuesday was all about progress! That's what we're all really after. Progress in every area of our life! Change in inevitable...but progress is a choice!  Some passengers of THW DINAMI, are looking at their progress so far this 10 weeks and feeling great about it. Others, not so much.  They great thing is, we all have the opportunity every day, to begin again. Sometimes progress requires "do overs!"

I talked about the difference between motivation that pushes and motivation that pulls. The "I shoulds" vs. the "I Musts." To be successful for long term, we've got to be pulled toward what we want! The key to continued progress with your weight loss is to create a desire so strong that you are pulled toward it...you MUST have it! Pushing requires will power and will power doesn't last. Pulling is automatic and you can't keep from getting what you really WANT!

We had GREAT weight loss this week in spite of it being Thanksgiving!  It was so exciting to hear about all the passengers that were "down" for the week!  Congratulations to everyone who had a plan and worked your plan!  I'm proud of you!

Our top teams for the week were gifted with the ever inspiring life preservers and Walgrens gift cards!  Those will come in handy for Christmas!

Noon: "From Thick to Thin"  Jim and Renee with a 1.80% of weight loss for the week!
5:30:   "Cruise Control"  Ruby and Debbie with a 1.22 % and a win the second week in a row!
7:00:   "The Last Syrah"  Ami and Gail with a 1.78% of weight loss for the week!

Great job you guys!  You had some wonderful weight loss this week!

As we are preparing to enter into the month of December...the very last month of 2012, I reminded our passengers that we can have a pulling kind of, progress making kind of, permanent life change, no matter what the month, what the holiday, what the day.  When you've created a desire for the life you really want...none of that matters!

Here's to one of the most powerful December's you've ever lived...full of progress and change!

Always encouraging you,
Letha
