Did you know that some of our members are releasing more than 30, 40 and 45 pounds in the last 3 months!!!!!! WOOHOO! Great meeting guys! Great work out too...think I was sweating all the way home!
I have been praying a lot about how to best help all of you. I know with the seasons, holidays, school, kids, work and plain old life that it is tough for some of you to attend regularly.
Many people have mentioned that they intend to come and things come up or meetings happen. I want you to know that I and the group totally understand! The important part is that you keep your focus on your commitment to health and to honor God by taking care of YOU!
I was prayerfully considering how to best take the group (both people who attend regularly and those who cannot) to the next level and truly help you all get the results and motivation you are looking for.
God came through as usual! He had me consider what has made me stick with programs in the past and in all areas of my life. Anything that you do that takes time and effort is hard to stick to....whether it is health or finances or work or gardening or....You get the picture. In all cases, there are certain aspects that we can totally repeat and use to help us in our health journey!
I began to formulate the idea of doing a health journal. Something that you can bring to class and also do on your own! I cannot tell you how excited I am about this!!! I absolutely KNOW that if you will put a little time into setting this up for yourselves that you WILL recommit to the journey AND take it to the next level!
After I had formulated the concept and what I felt was necessary....God blessed me with an enewsletter that had this You Tube video attached. The VERY newsletter was on how to stick to your exercise program and commit to health!!!! GOD IS GOOD! It brilliantly shows you exactly what is possible when you do the steps to INSURE YOUR SUCCESS! After you watch this video, open the attachments and read about how to get started on your own health journal today.

I am SO excited to see you hit your goals, have outstanding energy, have incredible health and the confidence you need to carry out whatever God's purpose is for you on this earth! You can see how one person's journey can inspire sooo many others and truly transform lives. That person can be you too!
I have already begun my journal and if you begin yours...bring it with you to this Sunday's group! I have a special guest speaker you WON'T want to miss! Raeann Cain, RMT, is going to speak to us on how massage can actually HELP you lose weight and release fat. She is bringing her chair as well to do chair massage on YOU after our discussion is over. We will have our exercise portion but I will have a sign up for chair massage (first come, first serve) as you come in next Sunday. (You could tip her if you wish...she is WONDERFUl!) How fun to have fellowship to exercise AND get a massage! Count me in!
I am setting up a series of health experts coming to speak in the coming weeks and help us all reach the next level. All of this is for you and about your journey with God!
Know that the whole group is praying for you every week and cheering you on! You can count on me to put in double prayers for you as well!
PS. Reminder that we are doing the Collin County CROP Walk on Sunday May 17th from 3 to 5 pm. You can pick up packets at the Team FUMC table after service this Sunday or get it at our CTBF meeting at 4 pm. We want YOU with us!
