We had a GREAT 1st Be Slim Club meeting we had last night...we missed those of you who couldn't come. Please make plans to attend the next scheduled Be Slim Club Meeting, Thursday, March 11th @ 6PM (and thereafter on the 2nd Thursday of each month).
Here are some comments from those who attended last night:
"Very up-lifting and encouraging....that is spelled S..U..P..P..O..R..T..E..R! Thanks for your sweet spirit! I was glad to see a couple of familiar faces,...fun!"
"I wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed last night’s meeting!"
A new tradition was also started last night...The "Biggest Loser" was announced, Dennis Medlin, & he received the "Toot Your Own Horn" Trophy...it's a traveling trophy. Dennis will be attending our next meeting to pass the trophy to the next "Biggest Loser". So you have to come to see who's going to get it next...it just might be you!!!! I hope to get a picture of Dennis with his trophy & will post it here on the blog!

Monday, 2/22/10:
MF R2D chocolate shake
MF PB crunch bar
MF chicken noodle soup w/ ranch soy crisps
MF parmesan cheese puffs
MF ranch soy crisps
side salad w/ a little ranch dressing
L & G: Panera - Chopped Chicken Cobb Salad w/ peppercinis
72 oz water
3 Diet drinks
1 C coffee w/ SF creamer
INSPIRATION: Goals are priorities. When you are motivated by short-term success, it's too easy to lose interest and enthusiasm. You have to ask yourself what you - no one else but you - want for your life. Do you want a lifetime of good health? Do you want to live longer for your children and grandchildren? These are things you need to decide. Be mindful of your goals. Know exactly what you want for yourself to keep your focus sharp and motivation strong.
>>if you want to, share your goals with me on your next food log. They will remain private between us. It will help me help you by reminding you of WHY you are working so hard each and every day...for WHAT.

I will say that at both meals, I did chose smaller portions than I would have regularly chosen. At dinner even, Ryan & I shared our main course; it was perfect!
I did have a pac with a client to stay on program 100% for a week from last Thursday...she won!
I promise, starting tomorrow, Sunday, that I will be back on track 100%!!

INSPIRATION: You must remember that the most valuable resource you have in weight loss and in life is you. Fighting for your health may be one of the most important things you do. You may be fighting to see your children or grandchildren grow up. Or fighting to play more with your children. Or fighting to spend more years with your spouse. But the most important thing you're fighting for is you.

I can't believe it's already Tuesday!!! I know some of you are having difficulty doing your food logs each day...me, too!
Let me say this though, when I don't send in my email, it's a lot easier for me to "get by" with cheating or getting off plan, because I know no one can know. This is WHY I ask each of you to continue to email me your food logs daily and I will continue to do the same by posting on my blog.
Most of you live extremely busy lives, but you HAVE to take the time to do this. It's critical in your weight loss journey!
I'm pointing one finger at you...and three back at me. Let's all recommit to doing our daily food logs. You with me?

INSPIRATION: Like any lifestyle change, it was important for me not to treat just the surface symptoms, but to delve deeper and evaluate my whole life, my approach, and discover where my behaviors stemmed from. Once I came to terms with the lessons above, I was able to see where I need adjust my approach to living and working - and I use my experience in my on-on-one work with my clients...you. I simply become tired of being out of balance. Allow TSFL to help bring balance to your life. Please know this is NOT a diet, it's a lifestyle change; a total makeover!

If you know someone in this situation, please tell them about Take Shape for Life! We are trying to touch as many lives as we can!
I hope to be back online in just a little bit. Thank you for your patience & understanding!
You ALL are an inspiration to ME!
