Measurement Challenge Winner!


Team-
Great job during this week’s training.  Yes, you worked out in this bad weather…I am proud of you.  No rain should slow your health journey.  Make sure to come next Tuesday and Thursday for the last training of 2011.  I will be nice! 

The winners of the measurement challenge are:
Margaruite- 1st Place
Norma- 2nd Place
Evangeline- 3rd Place
Congrats to the all who participated in the challenge!  It was truly a friendly and tough competition.  Congrats again Margaruite AKA Road Runner AKA Assistant Coach!  You have truly come a long way.  The team and I are very proud of you.  I told you the first week of training  that you had it in you to be fast…I remember you laughed when I gave you the nickname Road Runner but look at you now.  Your endurance has improved tremendously.  Now we got to keep up with you!  I would ask, “How do you feel.”  You would say, “I am tired.”  Now you say,” I am okay and feel good”. 

The measurement challenge taught us a couple of lessons.  It taught us that life can get in the way of our health journey.  But they should just be considered small bumps on the road that with persistence we can overcome.  You fall and quickly get back up to continue your health journey.  Don’t give up.  High numbers don’t happen overnight.  My health journey started in 2007. By 2008, I had lost 20 lbs.  I was first measured in 2/19/2008 after I joined my gym.  As of 8/16/11, I have lost a total of 18.4 inches and over 55 lbs.  I want you to realize that with any challenge hard work and dedication pays off but sometimes it’s not overnight.  Be patient and you will see tremendous results in the long run.

Special thanks to Amber Moon Studio, Luke’s Locker, Mike’s Print Shop and 4imprint.  The team enjoyed the drawing prizes, shirts and certificates.

Remember I want results not excuses…it’s for your health.
