Here is your Week 8 challenge,
Can you believe we are working on 8 weeks of healthy living here. That is simply amazing. Think about where we all were just 8 weeks ago. This has been a great opportunity for physical health, but what we sometimes forget about is the emotional aspect that goes along with it. We all have reasons why we were overweight and reasons why we wanted to loose that weight. Just about now, and especially with the holiday's upon us, those reasons seem to creep back into our lives and for some to the point of discouragement. I know from experience that Weight Watchers even gives out an award to those who keep going past 6 weeks because that is the average point of drop out. So, for this week the challenge is to encourage your fellow participants. Those words of support have meant so much to me along the way that I think we all could use some positive attention. So, each day this week take a minute to give a call or write a note to someone else who is participating in this race. For those of you out of town, feel free to give Jourdan a call and encourage her and then she can offer some phone numbers of others locally for you if you would like. ALSO, on Saturday morning from 9:00-9:45 you are all invited over to my house in your workout clothes to share some fun stories, low fat recipe ideas and a little play time on the Wii fit. If you are from out of the state and can not attend, then just give us a call and let us support and encourage you over the phone.
So, in short, this week is all about encouragement and motivation and lots of LOVE! Every day that you participate in this challenge you get a point, but I guarantee that you will come away with a lot more than just points. I am proud to know you all!
