Here we go, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Biggest/Healthiest Losers one and all!
Weekly group discussions (Paradise) and weigh-ins (Jamaica) start TOMORROW! See some of you there, and the rest of you each of the rest of the days of the week. On page 7 of your manual is the schedule for the week. You need to make it to ONE weigh in and ONE group discussion every week - and yes, we'll be taking attendance!
Here is a sneak preview of our first topic - one that is the most important in my own personal health journey: The Satiety Scale (page 12 of your manual).
Our body works best when we maintain ourselves in the "blue" area - 3 to 7. The danger of getting down in the 0,1, 2 range? Well, it is easy to overcompensate, and eat your way very quickly to an 8,9,or 10. And that just isn't good.
What are steps and strategies for maintaining the "sweet spot" in the hunger (satiety) scale? Come to this weeks group discussion to hear how others do it, the challenges and the tricks. The environment and culture at RCI is set up to succeed with this important tool in weight control and health maximization!
And before we sign off for this week, Wendy and I would like to share with you a bit of a message from Mark Koning. Mark sent the note below to the management team at RCI. It clearly shows how much he, and RCI, want each and every one of you to succeed, and how much support you will have from the entire company:
- Lead by example; wellness studies show that 8-10 people are influenced to start a new wellness initiative for every 1 leader that models wellness. We have over 35 of our leaders in the contest and close to 300 participants – the math works!
- Provide an attractive healthy food option for all team meetings; several employees have already asked for this. It’s an easy way to support this initiative, both now and going forward as we tackle a growing health care crisis.
- Encourage your people who have signed up; I can tell you that this already is a bit tougher than I envisioned. Many participants have expressed their commitment to make a huge change for their wellness and for themselves. But it is going to be tough – let your folks know that you are proud that they’ve taken this step.
Now, get out there, Move More and Eat Less!!
Wendy and John, from the ProMotion Fitness helm....
