The Traveler's Gift - Week 5 Team Standings
Friday, August 15, 2014
I am a Person of Action!
We were inspired by Joshua Chamberlain this week. One hundred and fifty years ago, he made a DECISION to "Do Something" and it changed the course of history! David Ponder traveled to Gettysburg this week and received the blue tobacco pouch from Chamberlain himself. He learned about the most crucial decision of all..."I am a person of Action!" Without this important decision, the rest are not useful.
Becoming a person of action is a choice, not a process. Joshua Chamberlain made the choice to come over the hill and push forward when things looked bleak back in 1863. It changed the course of our world's history! We learned a valuable lesson from him this week. When a choice to do nothing, or to do something arises, we must make the choice to "Do Something!" The action we take is defining us every day!
When things look bleak, when discouragement is high, when hope seems to be lost..."DO SOMETHING!" We can go from hopeless to hopeful just by doing something. We can change discouragement to encouragement by doing something and we surely will have a bright and healthy future if we continue to listen to that small inner voice that says "do something, do something!"
This week's winners:
Noon Team "Skinny In Laws" Stephanie and Michelle with a 2.41% of weight loss for the week!
6:00 Team "Cruise Control" Wendy and Sheila with a 2.15% of weight loss for the week!
Congratulations to you all. You are people of action and it shows!!
Your Challenge For the Week:
- Read your decision every day and answer the questions provided. Bring them in next week for a ticket in the drawing.
- Lose 2 pounds this week and be entered into a drawing for $50...each gathering!
- Download week # 2 "Change Your Thinking ~ Change Your life" and do the homework provided.
You are either a person of action or you're not! It's time to state your case...What are you?
Until next week..."Do Something," "Do Something."
Always encouraging you,
Letha

I Will Seek Wisdom
Thursday we looked at our second DECISION..."I will Seek Wisdom." Our second DECISION on our journey through The Travelers Gift and through our 10 week Team Challenge. We folded up our first DECISION, "The Buck Stops Here" and placed it in our pocket for safe keeping and journeyed on.
This week we found ourselves in the temple of King Solomon. We learned a lot about wisdom this week in Vancouver Washington! Most people mistake wisdom for education. Seeking wisdom is not the same as gaining knowledge, however it is a precursor to wisdom.
Knowledge is the awareness and understand of facts, truth or information. Wisdom, is the ability to apply knowledge to your life.
King Solomon shared three things that we must do to seek wisdom.
1. Read
2. Choose your companions wisely
3. Serve others
We unpacked all three of those important precursors to wisdom Thursday and we are ready to press in to the second decision this week.
We celebrated some GREAT weight loss too! So many of our travelers are having wonderful weight losses...they are going to be excited when they look back at the end of this ten weeks to see how far they've come!
Congratulations to our winning teams for the week. They got to take home the prize and the buck knives to decorate!
Noon "Figuratively Shrinking" Ron and Dennis, with a 2.55% of weight loss for the week.
6:00 "Downsizing" Rosie and Brenda, with a 2.58% of weight loss for the week.
Our DECISION for the week starts out by saying "Knowing that wisdom waits to be gathered, I will actively seek her out. My past can never be changed, but I can change the future by changing my actions TODAY!" My hope as we travel through this important 10 weeks, is that everyone will see this challenge as an opportunity to not only lose weight...but change FOREVER!
Your Challenge For The Week:
Read your second DECISION "I will Seek Wisdom" every day
Answer the questions on the bottom of your hand out, using your own journal or note book, and bring back in next week.
For those who have not heard the CD series or for those who choose to press in to a little extra homework to seek more wisdom :
Download off the web site and listen to "Understanding Your Beliefs, The Key to Permanent Weight Loss" and do the homework provided.
Decision 1: The Buck Stops Here.
Decision 2: I will Seek Wisdom.
Read, choose your companions well, and serve others until I see you again!
Always encouraging you,
Letha

The Buck Stops Here
What a day at The Healthy Weigh! We saw HUGE weight loss from our travelers, celebrated 2 teams winning for the week with awesome weight loss %'s and unpacked our very first DECISION..."The Buck Stops Here."
Congratulations to our winning teams! They took home gift cards from Macy's and the buck knife they'll need to "cut off any other possibility!" I can't wait to see how they decorate the knives representing their teams! They had great weight loss for the week but so did so many others! It was an outstanding week!
Here are our winning teams for the week:
Noon: Team "Co-Working Cows" with a 4.98% of weight loss. Pam and Marissa
6:00: Team " Morbidly, Monetarily, Motivated" with a 4.86% of weight loss. David and Frank
Congratulations to you all! WOW...what a RADICAL first week!
Unpacking this first DECISION, (The Responsibility Decision,) was serious but oh so powerful! The Buck Stops Here...meaning responsibility is not passed on beyond this point!
Passing the buck...our lesson from Harry Truman, looks something like this... trying to control things outside of ourselves, then blaming those same things, the things outside of our control...things, people, the President, circumstances, the weather, our parents, even life's greatest tragedies for our lack of success. For our lack of freedom!
Accepting responsibility looks like this...accepting responsibility for my past. Understanding that the beginning of wisdom is to accept the responsibility for my own problems and that by accepting responsibility for my past, I free my self to move into a bigger, brighter future of my choosing.
With great passion, I did my best to convince our travelers, that holding on to the past and blaming the problems of their past, is only robbing them of their future! Glenda taught some great tools at the "after class" that will help us all for the weeks to come! Thanks Glenda
I provided each traveler with the first DECISION written out so they can read it each day for the next 7 days.
YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK:
Read the Responsibility Decision "The Buck Stops Here" each day this week and answer the questions on the bottom of the page in a note book or journal. Bring those questions in answered next week for a ticket in the drawing!
Friends, I will be reading this first decision out loud each day this week too. I'll be looking areas of my life that I need to take greater responsibility for...and I'll be thinking of you. Hoping and believing that the person in your mirror this week will be able to say with great confidence..."The Buck Stops Here."
Always encouraging you.
Letha
