The Heart of a Champion!


What a time we had at The Team Challenge on Tuesday! Who Dat Nation not only came through on Sunday in Florida...but they came through Tuesday at The Team Challenge! Glenda was gloating a bit as she announced the winners at 6 PM. The Colts lost 53.8 pounds for the week and the Saints scored that extra field goal with 56.4 pounds! It was a close one, but the Saints took it! Joe, of team 'Boys to Thin' won the drawing for the gift certificate at Bonneville Hot Springs! Congratulations Joe!

Our noon time bunch was spirited Tuesday. Team 'Finish Line' took the win at noon and the day with 2.18% weight loss for the week! Congratulations Mark and Casey! Hope you're enjoying your pumpkin custard this morning!

At Six, team 'Women in Transition' beat out the rest of the teams with a weight loss % of 1.73 for the week. Darcy and Gail will be sporting their jackets all week! I'd love to see them at work wearing that beautiful white outer wear!

A side bet went on with the six PM group this week! Our Toxic Waist Dump group from Pleasant Valley Middle School had a pool to see what individual would win out of the six of them. Lea of 3 mile wide Island took it all with a 2.38 % weight loss this week! She's $60 richer! 'Weigh' to go Lea!

Debbie from team 'Raising The Bar II' donated hand made bracelets this week! Eight of our clients went home with beautiful Valentine bracelets thanks to Debbie.

John Jackson from Sate Farm Insurance also gave a little Valentine gift to EVERY participant of the Team challenge! A pedometer...thanks John! It means a lot to have support from businesses and people in our community!

I couldn't think of a better subject on Valentine's week, than The Heart of a Champion! We are 1/2 way through The Team Challenge and have every opportunity to be Champions in the next 5 weeks! Champions aren't born, their made! Who will step up and have the personal satisfaction of knowing that you did everything it took in the last five weeks to have your greatest weight loss?

As we looked at the heart of a champion, I also reminded you that you have something that makes it easier to be champion...a partner!

YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK:
1.Do something special, motivational, encouraging or supportive for your partner this week. Have the heart of a champion and give it away to your partner.
2.Come next week looking like partners...let it be visible that you and your partner are a team!

What a time we're having at the Team Challenge, what a time I'm having celebrating you and your accomplishments. Keep up the great work. Have the heart of a champion this week and we'll see you next week at the Party!
