BIGGEST CHOOSER WEEK SIX 2022
The human
capacity for change is dependent upon a scientific principle that has been
time-tested. The stress-recovery-adaptation model can be observed repeatedly
and in a variety of settings. If you want something to grow, you apply stress
in the form of increased resistance or fuel, allow for recovery, and then apply
more stress at a higher level and by definition, growth has occurred.
On the flip
side, the model works inversely. To reduce one must modulate intake or reduce
stress, wait, and then continue with reducing total intake. Either way, the
application on the principle is not easy and requires thought, programming (or
planning) and determination which manifests itself as consistency.
To that end,
all action begins with a thought. Therefore, how we think (or what we think)
determines said action. In the weight loss game, this concept is everything. In
the immortal words of Yankee great Yogi Berra, “90% of the (battle) is half
mental.”
Our lesson?
– put great thoughts in your mind and act upon them. Here are a few “great
thoughts’:
“All you can
change is yourself, but sometimes that changes everything.”
“If someone
tells you, ‘You can’t’ they really mean, ‘I can’t’.”
“Happiness
is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable or happy. The amount of work
is the same.”
Our
participants are rocking the program. All teams have combined to lose 415.60
pounds! That kind of success only comes from a mind fixed on the end game with
true determination fueling the journey.
There was no
change in the order of our leader board, however, big changes are on the
horizon. Keep on keeping on and we’ll see you next week.
ALWAYS IN SEASON!
