Topic of the Week

 

Affirmations

 

Affirmations are short powerful statements about a goal which we would like to achieve.  For  TOPS members the ultimate goal is weight loss and attaining KOPS status. 

 

Affirmations are like a software program designed to re program our minds from negative thoughts to positive ones. 

 

All TOPS members attending last evening's meeting submitted affirmations to be displayed in their personal arenas as a tool to focus on positive thought.

 

Two randomly selected affirmations are:

I am assuming responsibility for fueling my body.

I love the feeling of making progress. I feel so good when I eat healthy.

 

Christmas Party

 

Weigh-in at 5:30pm Schuyler Ridge

 

Dinner follows at Grecian Gardens at 6:30pm

 

Please contact any officer or weight recorder if you are not planning to weigh-in.

 

This will allow our weight recorders time to join us at Grecian as soon as the last member is weighed

 

Remember you need to weigh-in once in December in order to be eligible for 2015 awards

Sandy's program this week addressed the upcoming holiday dinner.

 

First, a visual with a dinner plate and containers denoting (1/2 cup)

portions.

 

The chart below shows calorie count for a typical Thanksgiving dinner.  This should help us make better choices and still enjoy the holiday.

Weight Recorder Challenge

Marcia has a different kind of challenge for the month of June.

I'm going to give awards out for any and everyone that can Call A "NEW to YOU"  on the telephone TOPS Pal and chat for a bit.  FOUR times this month.  NOT someone you regularly talk

with on the telephone.  Let me know who you've talked to on the Telephone.  You know that

old device we used before Computers, E-mail, Texting, Ipods, Epods, ETC. and whatever else is

out there that I have NO idea how to use.   [Personally I would like to learn]  I may be asking some tough questions about your chat so keep on your TOPS award game.

 

In Addition to that "PLUS"+ You must ALSO LOSE a NET weight of at least

ONE Pound this month.  As we say in TOPS "that's four sticks of Butter".

 

SO-o-o  chat with one new to you TOPS Pal a week and lose a quarter of a pound

a week [or more] too.  I know you can ALL achieve this month's award...

 

Success be Yours and TOPS Hugz,

Marcia
