Happy Pre-Thanksgiving!

Aloha, Fit Friends!
No doubt we are all preparing for a great Turkey Day on Thursday.  And as we all look forward to spending time with family and friends, and enjoying fantastic meals, the ultimate dilemma occurs for us---do we totally pig-out on Thanksgiving (take our one day off for the week on this special holiday) or ease up a little and do a little portion control???  Since I haven't been able to exercise with normal frequency recently, I think (hope?) I will try to take a little less on the first serving, and try to slow down on the intake.  Easy to say, so hard to do!

Any other secrets you can share with the group?  Let us know!

But whatever the case, enjoy this holiday week...we all deserve it....as a group we have worked so hard, and achieved so much!  I am proud and thankful to be associated with such a dedicated and hard working group as ours.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Go Hard, End Strong!
Eat Well!

Saturday Results Are In and They are Great!

As we all have come to expect, everyone who has reported in has attained their monthly goal again!  Awesome!  And I know it was especially tough this month, talking with some of you and reading your texts and emails.  See Results below. 

Safety, Care and......Age?  Please be careful everyone as I know we are all pushing ourselves physically each day, and just having some amazing ytd results.  The pounds lost and progress made has been simply incredible and inspiring.  That said, we have quite a few on the mend in our group, so please be careful.  We are all in for the long term.  Remember that.  Couldn't have anything to do with age, huh?  Nah! (Denial! or is it strong will to succeed?).  And along this line, if you have any remedies, helpful solutions, medications, alternative healing methods...please share. 

Injury update:  Mike had his MRI on leg on Saturday....will find out more soon.  I am having an MRI on my shoulder/bicep today (don't ask...it's an embarassing story).  Terri reports that her next months goal may have to be modified to frozen shoulder problem.  If anyone else has to go on Injured Reserve, let me know....and please call if you find out where we can find the stop aging pill!

November Results:

John     175lbs/3 workouts per week      No report yet (text me John!)
Rick     179 lbs                                       Got it early!
Dave     229 lbs                                      See posting below---Great job Shrinking Dave!
Wendell  185lbs                                      No problem!
Cindy      12 workouts                             Achieved!

Galen       183 lbs                                      Got it early!
Terrence   170 lbs                                     See post below....still made it.

December Goals:

Please send me your next goal for December 3rd.  Along this line, I have talked to some of you and would like to make this suggestion.  Since holiday season is upon us for the next two months, it would be still a good achievement (not great according to leader, Mike, but okay) to MAINTAIN your existing weight, or your existing number of workouts.  So consider that.....I know I am in for that, and Rick too!  Steph is still going for 2lb loss, and some are still deciding.  Just let me know.....talk to you all soon!

BTW, Mike and I have officially made 1 Year of doing this!  And although we are both injured at this point due to activity incidents (bball game for him, running fall for me), we are truly greatful for our results this year:
me---18 lbs lost, Mike--30 lbs lost!

Made it!

I just got off my bike and made my weight goal this morning. 228.6 (minus 16+ lbs.). It's time for some waffles, bacon, and coffee.

Injury and SIckness Hiatus Update

Just so everyone knows....Mike is on Injury Reserve because of his knee injury(MRI not till end of Nov) and Lisa has been sick for over two weeks, so these two members are not reporting in results for November Goal Day.

Go Hard, End Strong!
