Roundup, week of February 20th

What Happened Last Week?

We discussed getting the world around us set up for success. Get your kitchen, your workplace and anywhere else you spend time full of tools that will help, not food that will sabotage.

This week's celebrations included the following: 5 pound stars for Liz, Linda and Alejandra. Folks reaching 10 pounds lost include Gina, Anne, Karla and Paula. Mark got a 15 pound star and Pamela got her 25 pound awards. A bunch of people reached their 5% targets: Georgette, Carol, Paula, Pat, Andrea and Gina. That's a lot of weight loss!

So What's Coming Up?

Oh man. I get to do my tablespoon of peanut butter joke again! Woo hoo! We'll talk about portion sizes and why it's important to consistently keep an eye on them.

SPECIAL EVENT!!!

We will be holding a special eTools demonstration immediately following the Sunday meeting in El Cajon on February 27th. If you have never used this tool (and if you haven't but you're reading this WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?!?) but would like to see what it can do, stop on by! If you're going to be at your regular Sunday meeting anyway, budget in a little extra time to stick around!

Thought for the Week

Slow and steady has not always been an inspiring concept. It's not as sexy as speed and sharp turns of direction. But it may be just the thing to keep you from running out of gas, while still moving you forward. The most important thing is to keep walking forward, no matter how slowly. Sometimes slowness can be frustrating. You might become impatient; you might get discouraged with a setback. But a setback doesn't have to set you back. Simply using it as a learning opportunity can leapfrog you ahead again. From now on, try paying attention more to your direction and less to your speed. Be patient, focus on a little bit at a time, and soon enough, you'll be further than you ever thought.
