Week 3 Information

Since we will be out Monday we will not have a meeting next week. I will be giving H1N1 immunizations Tuesday morning at Carolina Springs Elementary School and Kathy will be here by herself. So we will be here for weigh-ins Tuesday afternoon from 2-4pm or Wednesday morning.

I will have new food and activity logs in the staff lounge for you to pick up. I found this amazing poem and am attaching it for you to print out. I had a copy at work and on my refrigerator when I did this before. I still have my home copy posted!!

After all weights are completed, I will email the group totals. If you are doing any traveling this weekend, plan ahead. Pull your restaurants off the list to keep handy in your car. If you are watching football playoffs, find a low fat dip and take a veggie tray. Get out and walk, shoot hoops, follow through on your activity goals!!

Don't Quit (Poem)
When you’ve eaten too much and you can’t write it down,And you feel like the biggest failure in town.When you want to give up just because you gave in,And forget all about being healthy and thin.So What! You went over your points just a bit,It’s your next move that counts…So don’t you dare quit!It’s a moment of truth, it’s an attitude change.It’s learning the skills to get back in your range.It’s telling yourself, “You’ve done great up till now.You can take on this challenge and beat it somehow.”It’s part of your journey toward reaching your goal.You’re still gonna make it, just stay in control.To stumble and fall is not a disgrace,If you summon the will to get back in the race.But, so often the strugglers, when losing their grip,Just throw in the towel and continue to slip.And learn too late when the damage is done,That the race wasn’t over…they still could have won.Lifestyle change can be awkward and slow,But facing each challenge will help you to grow.Success is failure turned inside out,The silver tint in a gray cloud of doubt.When you’re pushed to the brink, just refuse to submit,If you bite it, you write it…But don’t you dare quit!
