Roundup, week of October 24th

What Happened Last Week?

Celebration is a necessary part of keeping yourself motivated. I hope you thought of some new ways to recognize your success beyond the typical "hey, let's eat something!"

In the spirit of celebrations, we gave awards to Martha, Adriana and Maria for losing their first five pounds. We also celebrated Marianne's third year at her goal weight! That's a nice mix of celebrations - brand new members, and long-term members. We never stop celebrating!

So What's Coming Up?

If you have a sweet tooth, this time of year could spell Big Trouble. Halloween means candy, right? We'll learn strategies for managing these kind of temptations, to keep them manageable. You don't have to give up candy forever, but you probably need some help figuring out how not to eat ALL of it.

Wednesday morning's meeting in Clairemont will include a special "Ask a Lifetime Member" segment. You'll have your chance to ask a member who is at goal whatever you'd like. Ask them how they did it. Ask them what they eat. Whatever you need to know, these people are great resources to get it.

Thanksgiving 5K/10K

Just a reminder for you, I am getting a team together for the PureFitness Thanksgiving Run for the Hungry. If you register online, please select a team entry, so that you can select in the drop down box "Outsmart the Fat!" and be on my team. So far there's three of us confirmed, and a few others considering.

Start your Turkey Day off right! Do at least one thing healthy that day, okay? :)
