The Buck Stops Here!

What a day at The Healthy Weigh! We saw HUGE weight loss from our travelers, celebrated 3 teams winning for the week with awesome weight loss %'s and unpacked our very first DECISION..."The Buck Stops Here."

Congratulations to our winning teams! They took home the loot! Along with the $50, the scholarship to Glenda and my class, and the little leather hearts...they were the first to take home this challenges "immunity idol"...antique luggage! I can't wait to see how they decorate their suitcases representing their teams!  A special thank you to Barry Brandenburg and Glenda Bigalky for sponsoring this first week.  We appreciate your support!

Here are our winning teams for the week:
Noon team "Staying On Target" with a 6.14% of weight loss.  Tim and Bob
5:30   team " Thunder & Lightning" with a 7.18% of weight loss. Peggy and Debbie
7:00   team "Gettin' Jiggy With It" with a 5.27 % of weight loss. Sean and Ruth

Congratulations to you all! WOW...what an OUTSTANDING first week!

Unpacking this first DECISION, (The Responsibility Decision,) was serious but oh so powerful! The Buck Stops Here...meaning  responsibility is not passed on beyond this point!

Passing the buck..our lesson from Harry Truman, looks something like this... trying to control things outside of ourselves, then blaming those same things, the things outside of our control...things, people, the President, circumstances, the weather, our parents, even life's greatest tragedies for our lack of success. For our lack of freedom!

Accepting responsibility looks like this...accepting responsibility for my past. Understanding that the beginning of wisdom is to accept the responsibility for my own problems and that by accepting responsibility for my past, I free my self to move into a bigger, brighter future of my choosing.

With great passion, I did my best to convince our travelers, that holding on to the past and blaming the problems of their past, is only robbing them of their future!

I provided each traveler with the first DECISION written out so they can read it each day for the next 7 days.

YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK:
Read the Responsibility Decision "The Buck Stops Here" each day this week and answer the questions on the back side in a note book or journal.  Bring those questions in answered next week for a ticket in the drawing!

Friends, I will be reading this first decision out loud each day this week too.  I'll be looking areas of my life that I need to take greater responsibility for...and I'll be thinking of you. Hoping and believing that the person in your mirror this week will be able to say with great confidence..."The Buck Stops Here."

Always encouraging you.
