Whole Hearted!

I was a beneficiary of two powerful presentations this week at the Team Challenge. One by Glenda and the other by Anita! I've been thinking all morning about the information they shared with us. I'm inspired and challenged...I hope you are too!

Glenda gave us a greater/big picture look at "backpacks." Living in the balance rather than the extreme places in life is our goal. When we "get into other people's backpacks" we live like survivors. When we allow people to "get into our backpack" we live as victims. The key is to take responsibility for, own, and be self controlled of our own back pack. That's being a warrior! Thank you Glenda for this invaluable information!

Anita, one of our very own Alumni, did a beautiful job sharing her testimony. She was real about her journey but challenging too.  She lost 172 pounds on the program by committing to herself and the program. She challenged our team mates to take advantage of not only the support and accountability at The Healthy Weigh, but the emotional teaching as well.  Anita's journey has been one of physical healing as well as emotional renewal.  Thank you Anita for being vulnerable and sharing from your heart. I hope your story of being wholehearted will inspire others to do the same!

We had two new teams win this week! Congratulations to you all!

Noon: team "Dynamic Duo" Dean and Cheri won with a 1.81% of weight loss for the week.
Six:    team "Choose To Lose" Judy and Linda won with a 1.70% of weight loss for the week.

Thanks to our donors, both of these teams went home with GREAT prizes...and the capes!

Our super heroes for the week were Darrel D. and Matt L.  Good going guys!

Congratulations to one of our noon time team mates, Ruby! She won the $50 this week for losing 2.5 pounds!

We are heading into week 7 of this Team Challenge! It's time to recommit, refresh your goals and make a decision to make the MOST of the weeks we have left! When June 18th rolls around you will want to stand proud and know you went into these last weeks wholehearted!

We're learning a lot about willpower and I'm happy to say that The Healthy Weigh has been all about boosting willpower long before we understood the scientific reasons for it! I hope that as we head into these last weeks we'll call on the willpower that we all have to make it the best weeks EVER!
