What fun we had as we started week one of Sensational Summer at The Healthy Weigh! Every client became an official member of a team...FROGS or SUN SHINES! The teams will be in friendly competition throughout the summer!
To get us in the summer spirit we had our first competition with flip flops! 68 of our clients showed up with flip flops on Thursday to represent their team! It's official...FROGS 1 SUN SHINES 0! The sunshine team wasn't far behind, but the frogs out did them with a great foot showing!
The winner of a new pair of flip flops was SHERYL B.(team sunshine) Congratulations! You can pick up your flip flop gift certificate on Tuesday when you come in for your visit!
The Weight loss board has a lot of names on it this week. Congratulations to all of you who worked so hard for that 2 pound or more weight loss! The winner this week of the $25.00 visa gift card is CHRISTINE W. (team frog). Christine, your shiny visa card will be waiting for you on Tuesday!
Glenda did a great job of calculating the weight loss % for the contest so far...here's the top 5 at this point!
1. LeeAnn B. 2. Christine W. 3. Mary G. 4. Rhonda O. 5. Sandra M.
It's a CLOSE race and their are many other clients nipping at the flip flops of these five! Don't let up...the chance to win the $300 prizes is open to all!
Remember, tomorrow morning at 9am, we are going for a walk on the water front. Meet us there on the board walk in front of Beaches. We will take a 45 walk together...it should be fun!
We have some summer time fun planned for the next few weeks. More details on Tuesday...for now stay focused...dream big...and make this the greatest summer of your life! We're glad to be a part of it!

"I found strength I didn't know I had"
That comment didn't come from me, it came from one of our clients yesterday after her weigh in. She lost 6.0 pounds for the week! As a partner in the Team Challenge she has a new outlook. Not only is she committed to the program, but she now has a partner that she has made promises to. Promises to follow the program, exercise and keep a great attitude!
She found strength this week when she followed her plan to the mark. She found strength this week when she went for her walks up a BIG hill and ending up running that hill! She found strength in preparing her foods in advance and truly making her health and her self care a priority this week. SHE FOUND STRENGTH SHE DIDN'T KNOW SHE HAD, BECAUSE SHE REACHED DOWN INSIDE OF HERSELF AND JUST DID IT!
I am so proud of her, and I am so proud of all the Team Challenge participants who made a decision and found strength inside of themselves this week!
Keep up the great work...Keep fighting for the strength that lives inside of you.
Always encouraging you,
Letha

Keeper of the Keys
I just finished teaching a four week class, "Life Principles." My class was inspired by life principles that have helped me during times of great change in my life.
My last week was titled, "You are what you think." I read this poem that I found and thought it would be good to post.
"Keeper of the Keys"
You are the Keeper of The Keys.
You are the Guard at The Gate.
Waiting in line to get through that door
Is LOVE and also HATE.
In line to enter is GENTLE PEACE.
And also VIOLENT WAR.
You must choose who may, and who
May not come through the door.
INTOLERANCE tries to sneak on through
On wings of FEAR, or PRIDE.
It hides behind DREAMS of BELONGING,
And tries to sneak inside.
Oh! Be alert! You're the Guard who decides
Who GOES and who may STAY.
You are The Keeper of The Keys to Your Mind.
Who will you let in today?
Guy Gilchrist
As I think about the change that our country is experiencing and the personal ways that we are all being challenged, I encourage you to be the "Keeper of the Keys" to your mind. Choose to think rightly and guard your thoughts. Who will you let in today?
Always encouraging you,
Letha

Turning 50!
I turned 50 years old this week. For years I've heard old people (50 and over) say that they wouldn't trade wisdom for youth. I used to think, "sure, they have to say that, now that they're old." I realize now, they were right!
As I have sat with handsome men and beautiful women this week, in the 50 and older club, I've been reminded of just how great it is to grow old. I've heard comments like, "this is when life gets really good," and "you know, life really starts at 50." I even heard a couple "50 is the new 30!"
As I have been reflecting on turning 50 this week, I've considered the wisdom that comes with age. Some of mine has come with years of every day life experiences...but most of the wisdom I have attained has come as I have experienced trials and heartache. The greatest sorrows of my life have allowed me the greatest growth. It seems to me that the only way to attain wisdom, is to trade in your youth for it.
As I look ahead to the years that I have before me, I am more excited than ever to face the challenges, and the celebrations that come after 50! I am wiser, stronger, and more patient, than I ever been...and for the record, I wouldn't trade wisdom for youth either!
Here's to all my friends and family in "the club", I'm happy to be a part of such a great group of people!

Happy New Year!
It's a new year! That means it's time to dream, plan, and set goals for the new year. I hope you've been thinking about the year 2009 and what you want it to look like.
I've talked to some clients who have chosen a word for the year, already set some goals, and are really feeling ready to accomplish great things this year.
I've talked to other clients who haven't given much thought to any of that.
From experience, I can tell you that the clients who are setting goals and dreaming dreams for this year, will have a year full of accomplishments. They will succeed at reaching their goals no matter what the weather.
Those with out a lot of thought about the year will tend to blow around like the wind, and go where ever the weather takes them, not accomplishing much and feeling discouraged as the year goes on.
Set some goals this year... regarding your weight loss program and much more. Take some time in these first weeks of January and put some dates on the calendar! That's when the magic happens...when you get things down on paper!
We've got some tools for you this month at The Healthy Weigh. We look forward to seeing you this new month of 2009. Come in and let us help you get started on some practices that will help you have the best year of your life!
Always encouraging you,
Letha
