Listen up, troops! :drill: There are saboteurs in our ranks! For the good of the unit we must find the guilty parties. And when we do the punishment must be swift and severe.
You may ask, "Who would do such a thing? Who would sabotage all my efforts to get healthy?" Good question. The quilty party is....
YOU!
Inside each of us is a potential saboteur, and we must learn to guard against this enemy at every possible turn. We must band together to thwart his moves! Here are some situations when the saboteur within may show himself and his devious ways:
He will put things in your grocery cart, supposedly "for the kids," while we all know that your kids don't need Twinkies any more than you do!
He says, "It's a special occasion"....even though Sunday dinner comes once a week for most of us!
He loves to point out that everyone else is eating a certain wayand that you should feel neglected and left out, with no regard whatsoever for YOUR needs!
He will tell you how upset your friend or family member will be if you don't eat the dish they prepared "just for you!"
He will whisper "Just a couple of bites won't hurt," even though you KNOW that you've heard that every day this week!
He will tell you that since you ate "a couple of bites," you might as well polish off the whole thing!
He will gladly encourage you to skip yet another workout...after all, what's one more day of inactivity?
You must know the enemy! He is wily and dangerous. He will strike when you are tired, when you are over hungry, when you are stressed. He knows your weaknesses and will exploit them! You must anticipate his moves and strategize to defeat his offenses! :drill:
Your mission is to watch out for the saboteur wherever he may lurk...and to destroy him! Tomorrow we will talk about some specific strategies to accomplish your mission!
Group Activity for the Week of 9/21-462 minutes! Good start...let's stick with it!
Ellis-2 minutes running! WTG! :bravo: Personally I would rather walk 2 miles than run 2 minutes! ;)
Sharon-did you get in your 45 minute cardio/15 min weights? I didn't include that in the total yet, so let me know.
Lizzie-CHEAT definately should be on the list of words to expunge from our vocabularies! What would we replace it with? Deviate from the plan? Lose an opportunity to make a good choice?
Thanks for all the kind words about the Challenge...I'm glad it is helping you to do what you need to do! I know it is helping me a lot...keeps me thinking, that's for sure! You guys are so wonderful and I feel lucky to have found this place and all of you! So Sarge will stick around as long as you guys don't boot me out of the unit! :drill: :love: If you ever have an idea for a challenge, let me know...I feel like I am repeating myself ALREADY!
I gotta run and get to bed. My workout yesterday plum tuckered me out...I'm just now getting sore! :o:
