Summer Melt Down is coming...

Hello again!

The last challenge has ended.  Congratulations go out to everyone who finished and kept with it! 

The next challenge, the Summer Melt Down, is about to begin.  Will you participate?  Here's a few reasons why you should:

1. You made some progress the last time around and you want to keep the momentum going.
2. You fizzled out last time and want to give it another try
3. You reached your goal and now you want to maitain your weight-loss
4. You enjoy being a part of a larger, group effort to reach your peak fitness in Mind, Body and Spirit.
5. You reached your goal but in the last couple weeks you've seen 5-8 pounds creep back on and you want to banish them forever.

All good reasons and at least one of them should apply to YOU.   

What do you need to do?  First, we hear it all the time, but seriously, talk to your doctor.  Let him/her know that you are serious about getting fit.  Find out what the medical definition of a healthy weight is for you.  Have some basic biometrics recorded:   blood pressure, body fat %, cholesterol levels, sugar levels, etc.  Plan to go back in a set period of time and re-check.  We are talking about more than weight-loss here, we are talking about overall health improvement!  At the very least record some body measurements (neck, chest, waist, hips, calves, upper arms).  Even if the numbers on the scale don't change as much as you might like, you could be very surprised at the change in these numbers.

Second, come to the kick-off on May 22 in the Cafeteria at 9:45AM to weigh-in and join up in the Summer Melt Down!  (click here for more information)  See you there!
