MILESTONE

Yesterday was a milestone for us! We had 60 members workout yesterday!!!! That's the most members working out in one day since I bought the club. I'm so excited and I want to thank all of you for making that happen. Now I'm working toward 75!!!

SUCCESS

We had our first Phase 3 class Saturday morning and I'm happy to say that we had some successes!!! Those ladies need to give themselves a big pat on the back! For those of us that maybe didn't quite reach our goal, we too, need to be proud of our determination to keep trying. Because if we don't give up, we will ultimately success.

It's Time to Win the Game

Have you ever noticed what an important role motivation plays in the competitiveness of sports teams. Those teammates are constantly knocking each other on their helmets, yelling into each others faces, and going ballistic after good plays. Is there something that we can learn from those guys?

I'm not suggesting that we start slapping each other every time we lose half a pound, but I do think we should look at how football players break up their overall goal of winning the game into many little mini-goals, and what they do to re-focus after every single play. For example, if you wanted to lose a certain number of pounds in 2009, you should break up your yearly goal into 12 smaller monthly goals and then focus on each one of them separately. This approach will not only make your ambitions see more manageable but it will also give you more instant gratification. How about taking that a step further - to weekly and daily goals (working out at least 3 times a week, drinking 8 glasses a water a day, etc.)
