This is it folks! It's the last week of the competition already! Doesn't time fly when you're having FUN?? Speaking of having fun, 16 of us came out for the first ever St. George bike scavenger hunt! We had PERFECT weather as it was nice and cool and the rain even held off for us! We had three teams and each of us had to follow the map and take pictures of us at all the clues. We were all such great sports as we ventured back to our youth going down slides, sending love notes, being bookworms at the library, and showing some love for our village.
The route was 9.5 km and took about 1.5 hours. A special congrats to the Sandison family who took first place with a time of 1 hour 8 minutes, each of them winning brand new insulated bike water bottles! Well done guys!
Last Wednesday, we had an interesting discussion led by Jessie Sommer on How and Why People become addicted to food. It was amazing how many of us could relate to eating out of boredom, habit, or comfort. Thank you to Jessie for the great hand-out as well!
Last week's Biggest Losers were 1. Teena H. - 1.94%, 2. Dan S. - 1.81%, and 3. Jennifer S. - 1.60%. Way to go guys! 20.7 lbs were lost last week, bringing up the total to a shocking 417.3 lbs!! Wow!!! I am so proud of each and every one of you!
Join us tomorrow for a round table discussion on "Highs and Lows" of the competition. I would like all of you to share your story of your weight loss journey so far, tell us what was the most important thing you have learned so far, and give us one High and one Low you have experienced this past 12 weeks. Make sure to be there as we all encourage one another and grow closer as a team.
We will also be having a Recipe Exchange this week so please bring a few copies of your favourite HEALTHY recipe(s), and perhaps a sample for us to try! Everyone can take home some new ideas on some nutritious foods that are sure to aid in our weight loss journey!!
I can't believe this contest is almost over! I really enjoyed teaching it and putting it together and I hope you all enjoyed learning from it! Many people are already asking about "next year"! Perhaps we can meet again as it seemed to be a big success! You guys are all AWESOME!! Keep it up!
I can't wait to see everyone's After Picture on the final day! Make sure you are there for the Finale... you won't want to miss it as the Biggest Loser is revealed!
Don't forget that Diane from St. George Fitness can do your After measurement at the gym during the week. This way you can see how your body composition has changed, and how many inches you've lost!
How many of you are now looking forward to exercising every day?! I know I am! And my energy levels are higher, and I am eating using portion control and reading nutrition labels on EVERYTHING!
I will see you tomorrow at the firehall! Don't forget your recipes and testimonies!
