Aloha Everyone (no I am not on a beach in Hawaii but by July 1 I wouldn't care if I was... In a swimming suit!)
I just wanted to send a quick email your way and tell everyone to PAT YOURSELF ON THE BACK!!! We are 1/4 of the way thru this journey... And things will only get better! I know the past couple wks have been slow for a lot of us, but NO ONE has given up- and we are still at it! Some of us have been battling our weights for a long time, and nothing ever seems to work permanently.... WHY NOT THIS TIME????
Let's all get SERIOUS about this contest! Not just for the short 6 months its going on... But from now on! The whole point of this was to have FUN, MEET OTHER'S IN THE SAME BOAT AS US, TAG-TEAM IT, HAVE COMPETITION, GET OTHER IDEAS, GET OUT OF OUR ROUTINE, etc etc I feel like some people are really into this and are always posting or emailing ideas, comments etc, and 1/2 never even get on the BLOG or email results etc....
NO MORE EXCUSES! Get involved and let's get this team going TOGETHER! I know alot of us have serious health issues that make losing weight hard... But all the more important to do something about it NOW. I work in a Geriatric setting- Occupational Therapy- and I DO NOT want to be UN-healthy when I enter my "golden years" it takes twice as long to rehab from a simple surgery, extra people having to help move you around, shorter life, no privacy etc etc.... LET'S GET THESE HEALTHY HABITS NOW!
The reason I always NAG for results at a certain time and day is so WE HAVE TO COMMIT to that! Having weigh-in our Saturday was supposed to help urge-away the Friday-Feeding Frenzy... There is a method to this madness! Please for the 100th time try to have your wkly results in on Sat @ 11- my cell # 8017919489 if it is easier to call/text THAT MAKES IT FAIR FOR EVERYONE!!!!
***Please Please Please use this contest to really make changes!!!

Thanks Katie! Your observations are exactly right on. I see it at work every day as well and as I am getting older and have friends getting older and struggling with health issues it makes me more determined than ever to keep fit and healthy. Besides that I want to be able to give Sammy a run for his money when we play!
