Hello hello dear shrinkers one and all. How goes it? Go and hop on that scale and get down to business with your Wednesday check in because we have a lot of additional business to attend to!
How did the number look? Remember, it’s just a number. Don’t take too much stock in it! You know deep down what you need to be focusing more on, working harder at, paying more attention to. Chances are, whatever the number on the scale reveals – whether it’s up from last week or down – it is rarely a complete mystery or a complete surprise. Yes, there are those weeks where you seem to be doing everything right. Every. Little.Thing. And the scale doesn’t budge at all. But for the most part, you know it’s a reflection, good or bad, of the effort you are putting in. Sometimes it may be needed to have the “Time to Get Real” talk with yourself. The tough love talk that you’d give to your best friend or sister who you saw was sabotaging her own efforts. Look in the mirror and have that same talk with YOU. Out loud. And really LISTEN!
Now, on to the reminders.
Turkey Trot & Mutt Strut Race
First up – this Sunday, Nov. 23, is our Turkey Trot & Mutt Strut Virtual 5K/10K/Mile Run & Walk. I will be doing the 5k run and look forward to participating with all of you where ever you are! Look for your goodies to be arriving in the mail soon and don’t forget to take a few pictures to send to us on your race day. Don’t forget your dog’s picture also if you are doing the Mutt Strutt!
