Our winning teams from last week brought back the walking sticks looking a lot better than they did the week before. At noon team 'Ax-Men' sported beads and leather on the sticks and I thought they had done an amazing job UNITL I SAW THE SIX PM STICKS!!! Oh my, team 'Thunder & Lighting' took home the walking sticks last week and brought back works of art! Did I mention that Peggy's husband is a wood worker?? Hand carved down the entire length of each stick was the word YAGODDAWANNA! They are beautiful! I'd want to win for the week just so I could show those off! Thanks to both teams for doing such a great job to get those started for this CAMP OUT Team Challenge!Our Campers lost another 370.8 pounds this week bringing our total up over 1000 pounds already!
At noon team 'Ax-Men' took the win for the second week in a row with a 2.67% of weight loss! Joe and Ron were our sponsors for the week donating $200 for the two teams... they got to take 1/2 their money home with them! :-) Congratulations you two and THANK YOU for your generosity!
At Six team 'Bubbalicious' won for the first time with a weight loss % of 2.27 for the week! Ami and Ruth took the victory lap and got to take those beautiful walking sticks home...oh yea, and the $100!!
We met our very own Camp Ranger Rikki this week as Glenda was introduced to share her great insights with us over the next weeks to come. She did a great job helping us discover our beliefs so that we can determine if the beliefs we have about ourselves are getting us what we want out of life! Thank you Ranger Rikki!
We also had good old camp skit brought to you by our Alumni!!! The "INFANT TREE" taught us a lesson this week as we looked at the important small steps it takes to keep progressing forward. Raising our standards was the theme for this weeks camp lesson. We learned that we don't always meet our goals (our shoulds), but we always meet our standards. (our musts) So the questions becomes...how do we raise our standards? How do we turn our shoulds into musts? We talked about the two kinds of motivation...push and pull. Push requires willpower...and willpower doesn't last! What does last is pull. Pull is what happens when something we want is so compelling that you are pulled toward it.
We looked at rituals this tuesday.The rituals of our lives ultimately shape who we are. The little things we do day after day, year after year determine how we live and who we thing we are. The strongest force in the whole personality is our need to stay consistent with who we are. An important question to ask ourselves...'When did I decide that this is who I am?... and what's keeping me from changing that?'
Our Campers are listening to the Cd's weekly...doing the homework provided and getting a great lesson each week on Tuesdays. They have EVERY opportunity to come away from these 10 weeks not only much lighter...but changed for good!
YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK:
Listen to week #2 "Change Your Thinking ~ Change Your Life" and do the homework provided!
Have a great week looking at the rituals that shape your life and raising your standards because you'll ALWAYS meet your standards!
Always encouraging you,
Letha
