Willpower Week 7 Team Standings
Wednesday, May 22, 2013
Whole Hearted!
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!
YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK:
Download/listen to week # 4 "Coping Skills ~ Feeling Your Way Through Life" and do the homework provided.
Always encouraging you,

Avoid Triggers!
As we near the ½ way mark of this 10 week Team Challenge, we
are learning more and more about willpower and just how much control we have
about it! We have the ability to grow it and we have the ability to use it up. It was POWERFUL to see the inspiration boards of so many of our clients today! It was great to see just what inspires us and what builds our willpower!
This week we learned that willpower is a limited resource.
Like a muscle, we can stress it by over use. Willpower is simply the capacity
to restrain impulses and do the BEST THING, even if it conflicts with what is
preferred at the moment! The question I
had to ask my super heroes this week is…How often do you need to do that?
(restrain impulses that is). We have a limited resource of willpower and we’ve
got to pick and choose when to use it. If we’re smart about willpower, we won’t
live a lifestyle where we are constantly drawing on our willpower to do the
best things.
Many people position themselves and their lives in such a
way that every day requires willpower!
Minimizing the number of battles you have to fight will conserve your
energy and willpower for when you need it most!
Our next tip…and another powerful willpower booster!
AVOID TRIGGERS!
We talked a lot Tuesday about the triggers that can throw us
off while we are trying to make healthy choices and use our willpower for good!
Triggers become crisis situations!
People with low willpower rely on self-control to get themselves
out of crisis situations.People with high willpower use it to avoid the crisis in the
first place!
Reserving willpower was an important thought of the day, but
building willpower was too!
Scientists have discovered that the very act of doing
something you feel reluctant to about helps you to build willpower so long as
the tasks are important things. Performing them works your willpower muscle.
So to recap:Reserve willpower by making your environment safe and
avoiding crisis all together.Build willpower by completing a task that you’ve been
reluctant to do.
Our super hero winners of the week:
Noon: Team "Super Sisters," Cara and Tammy won for the week
with a 2.59% of weight loss.6PM: Team" Determined
Daisies", Lynnell and Tia won for the week with a 2.13% of weight loss.
Congratulations to all of you!! These teams were gifted with $100 thanks to donations from Barry Brandenburg and Glenda Bigalky! We appreciate your support!
Congratulations to all of you!! These teams were gifted with $100 thanks to donations from Barry Brandenburg and Glenda Bigalky! We appreciate your support!

YOUR CHALLENGES FOR THE WEEK:
Download week # 3 What's in Your Back Pack ~ Controlling What You Can and do the homework provided!
Get after a task that you've been reluctant to do and complete it!
We are building willpower...We are learning that we have a lot of control over how much willpower we really have! That's a good thing!!
We look forward to next week as we hear from one of our very own Alumni! It's going to be a great week!!
Until then,
Always encouraging you,
Letha

Where's There's a WANT, There's a WILL
We're growing our willpower week by week as we continue to learn more about it! This week we were reminded that the level of willpower we all experience is directly related to our WANT power! Knowing what we want and keeping it in the front of our mind makes all the difference! If your willpower is fading, I can guarantee you that your WANT power is too. I challenged our teams to revisit their WANT power as they head into week 4 of this ten week challenge.We have looked at a lot of psychological and emotional ways to grow willpower, this week we looked at a physical one as well. Low blood sugar levels turn out to predict a wide range of willpower failures. When blood sugar drops, your brain will still favor short term thinking and impulse behavior. Your brains' priority is going to be getting more energy, not making sure that you make good decisions that are in line with your long term goals.
Tips for maintaining a consistent blood sugar level:
Fuel your body with foods that give you lasting energy. Lean proteins, fruits and vegetables
Don't skip breakfast
Carry healthy snacks with you
Don't go too long without eating
Exercise ~ it regulates your body's glucose
Stay hydrated, we mistake thirst for hunger
and...
A very important scientific finding:
This is a little known effect of diet soda that contributes to hunger, overeating and weight gain. The sweet taste tricks the body into taking up glucose from the bloodstream in anticipation of a blood sugar spike. You're left with less energy and less self control, while your body and brain wonder what happened to the sugar rush they were promised. This many be why recent studies show that diest soda consumption is associate with weight gain, and not weight loss. (sad but true) :-)
Glenda did a great job of helping us understand that what we believe about willpower will dictate how we act it out. She taught us the great lesson of clustering to determine our beliefs about anything! She challenged us to cluster "willpower" this week as one of our homework assignments. I look forward to the weeks ahead and the lessons we will learn from Glenda.
We had our very first "threepeat" this challenge! Congratulations to Frank and Amanda for winning the noon time weigh in for three weeks in a row!
Noon: team "Twice What I Wanna Feed", Amanda and Frank won for the week with a 1.70% of weight loss.
6 PM: team "Skinny Minnies", Kathleen and Sarah won with a 2.09% of weight loss for the week!
Our Super Heroes of the week took home the Super hero shirt and yes...Frank did again at noon with 8.9 lbs. At 6, Marci won for the week with 7 lbs! Congratulations you two!!
We had our drawing for the $50 and the noon time gathering did it again! Pete T. won for the week! He will be able to use that $50 driving all the way from North Bonneville every Tuesday!
Your Challenges For the Week
- Cluster willpower, bring it in next week
- Make a poster/inspiration board/flyer about WHAT YOU WANT! Bring it in next week
- Download week # 2 "Change Your Thinking ~ Change Your Life" and do the homework provided
- Lose 2.5 lbs to be entered into the drawing for $50.
Always encouraging you,
Letha
