Topic: The power of physical labor
Ok, I will be the first one to admit, I DO NOT WORK OUT, I DO NOT EXERCISE.  So while I have either been unemployed or working in an office the last couple of years I have regained about 60 pounds.   BUT, after taking a warehouse manager job 4 weeks ago, and working my butt off, I have already lost more than 20 pounds.  I am averaging about 5 pounds a week.  So I am finally getting my workout, it's just not at a gym.

There is a thing called the 5 day pouch test that you can do. http://www.5daypouchtest.com/ My friend Jill and I are thinking of doing it, will you be at the support group meeting Saturday? Maybe all three of us can do it together, it is a back to basics kind of thing. Check out the website and let me know what you think.

Topic: QUOTE FOR THE DAY - DETERMINATION
Motivational Quote - “Life is not easy for any of us, but what of that?  We must have perseverance and, above all, confidence in ourselves.
SparkPeople Translation
 
We all come across obstacles, some anticipated and some unexpected. Every last one of us has faced some sort of difficulty in our lives. How did you approach this? Did you avoid it, allowing the problem to get bigger? Or did you go at it with full force, ready to conquer it? Perhaps once in a while an obstacle will disappear on its own, but don’t count on it. Usually, it’s going to come down to you to make it happen. But with hard work and the right attitude, you have everything you need to reach those goals. Try and look forward to the next time a roadblock comes your way; instead of an obstacle, think of it as a challenge. Then get after it!

Topic: LIFESTARTS-JANUARY SNOW BALL - MEET AND GREET
David Becker and I have been trying to put together yet another Snow Ball here in Richmond VA. Due to the property we used before up for sale, we are unable to get good pricing , so here is where we stand on the progress of the Snow Ball . 

I am meeting with the Sales Department of the Holiday Inn Koger Center in Richmond this week.
Here is how we perceive the events happening.
Friday guest arrive. - Dinner at Hotel or Diner
Saturday - Breakfast at the Hotel or somewhere of your choosing.
Meet and Greet Support Group Luncheon - (Included in Ticket Price)
Before and After photos viewed and introductions
We may have a Special Speaker - I am waiting on her confirmation.
After Lunch - Free Time - There is an Indoor Pool , Shopping or Site Seeing.

Saturday night Dinner at the Tobacco Company - then back to the Hotel to their Lounge and Dance Floor called VISIONS. Drink and Dance until close or last call.
Sunday - Breakfast - (Included in ticket price) Farewell Speeches

I am currently working on getting vendors to send in samples for goodie bags.
I truly hope that you will all try to come out.
The date tentatively is the weekend of January 23rd. This may change once we meet with the hotel sales.
David Becker tried to get our old place but they are in the process of being sold and the hotel price was through the roof, and we are not paying that.
We are also asking for a Hospitality Suite for Drinks and Appetizers Saturday night before we go down dancing. And possible use afterwards for our infamamous - PJ Party .... : ) 

Here are the links to the hotel and the Tobacco Company if you want to check it out. I should have ticket prices and hotel information for you by Friday.

Thank you for your understanding in the delay in getting back to you and I truly hope this works out for us all .
