They Just Kept At It!

We celebrate the lives of ordinary people today who did extraordinary things. People who over came obstacles, failed at what they were trying to accomplish and didn't have the support that people need to do great things...but they just kept at it! People like Lucille Ball who was told she'd never be an actress and Michael Jordan who was cut from his high school basketball team.

We talked about ordinary people who kept at it...who created extraordinary lives. Extraordinary lives cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved. A person living their very best story, living an extraordinary life is not one who never failed but one who NEVER QUITS...they just keep at it!

We lost 130.2 pounds today! Our noon time group really rocked it this week with 61.6 pounds! Congratulations to you at noon that really had some amazing losses this week! Team 'Teacher Teacher' won the prize for the day with a 2.28 % of weight loss. Marianne and Marna, congratulations on a great week! You're not going to be recognized when you go back to school next week. We'll miss you at noon! Thank you to Ryan of 'Beauty and the Beast' for the Bed, Bath and Beyond gift cards! Marna and Marianne are going to have fun with those!

As we focused on perseverance this week, I announced that next week we will be unveiling the details of the Fall Team Challenge! You won't want to miss the exciting news about our next Team Challenge. Making the decision to continue on is what reaching goals is all about. It's what ordinary people do who live extraordinary lives...they just keep at it!

We still have three weeks left in THIS Team Challenge, so I threw out a challenge to kick it up a notch!

Lose 2.5 pounds and be entered into a drawing to have your car detailed by Andrew and apprentice, Mark!
