Words of Wisdom

("Wisdom" - where knowledge meets personal experience)

The following thoughts come to you from John's high school track coach - yep, he's still in contact with his old coach, and they still share thoughts and ideas on a regular basis. Here are a few that came across recently that apply to all of our Biggest/Healthiest Loser contestants.

Excellence is a constant journey with many temporary finish lines-
      Every time we step on the scale for our weekly weigh in, we're at a "temporary finish line". We may be happy, we may be disappointed. But there is next week to work on and prepare for, so we let it go and get to work! In fact, even that final weigh in on December 8th is a "temporary finish line", isn't it?


One achievement promotes another, better one - 
      Take a look a the top ten "losers" so far - you think staying right where they are is going to get them to the finish near the top? You suppose others, lurking right below them, aren't seeing those names and saying, "I can take that guy"!!


Do the right thing when others are not - 
      When you travel, when you go to that tailgate on the weekend. When the gals next to you bring in the donuts and the bagels and the cookies. When every little breeze brings what sounds like a legitimate excuse to miss your workout: Do the right thing, even when others are not!  Doing MORE of the right thing is what will get you to where you want to be, and doing WAY more than the competition just might get you a victory!!


Yours in Health, EAT LESS/MOVE MORE!!
