WoW! We had some dedicated ladies and I'm impressed with how close the scores were at the end. I could tell that it might have been a little bit of a struggle the last week or 2 but those that finished strong are feeling really good about themselves right now! So, for our winners....
Brooke and Amy with 6385.
Celeste and Jodie had 6321.
Talk about very close! Congratulations ladies on a great 8 weeks. We now need to decide on our celebration party! Email me your ideas and we'll get together soon.
We won't be doing the Great in 8 over the summer. It just gets hard to keep track of things over the busy summer months. We'll get this going again in the fall if anyone is interested in doing it. Just let me know and I'll email you sometime in September to let you know what the plans are. Have a great summer ladies and show off those bodies! You all look FABULOUS!!
PS- if you find any great recipes for summertime parties that you'd like to share, email them to me and I'll post them on the blog. I'm sure others would love to have great, healthy ideas for the summer!

And the winners are...
Our winners for Week 5 are...
Kiersten and Amy with 822 points. A close 2nd place were Jodie and Celeste with 820 points!
That could make the end results a little fun!!!
We're getting close to the end. Are you going to finish strong? What are your excuses for not doing what you know you should be doing? Make a list of them and through them in the garbage. You don't deserve those excuses!!!
I've been catching myself lately saying things that aren't helping me out in the realm of things. I catch myself saying things like, "I hate how fat my hips and thighs are", I wish my arms weren't so flabby", "It takes forever to lose as much as I want to lose", "I'm FAT!!!"
I'm sure that none of you ever say things like that, right? Watch what you say to yourself. I've had to write on my bathroom mirror different positive sayings for me to run through my brain so that I won't repeat all of those negative thoughts. The more I repeat the positive thoughts, the more I start to believe those thoughts and avoid thinking the negative ones. It wouldn't hurt for us all to give this a shot for the next 2 1/2 weeks. It wouldn't hurt anyone. They're just words. Or are they? Try it for the next few weeks and see how it turns out for you.
You are all amazing! Keep going. You'll improve if you just stick to it.

Week 3 & 4 Winners
OK! I'm not doing so good lately! I didn't post the winners from last week. I won't even give you my excuses for not posting.
Week 3 Winners were...
Amy & Brooke with 894!
They pretty much kick butt!
Week 4 Winners are...
Jodie & Celeste with 777 points.
I noticed that everyone had lower points this past week! It must be that crazy weather we dealt with. I think I'm going to have to start getting tough on everyone. This slacking on our Great in 8 just will not do! Tighten up your belts and lets see if we can all get over 390 points. Maybe we should all shoot for 400 points or higher! For those that don't get over the 400 points, we'll take points away. If you get over 400 points, we'll add bonus points. Maybe I won't be that tough but hey, you never know what I'll do. It is Spring and the sun is shining. No excuses to not be out running around with your kids, take a jog or just take a walk and soak up some sun. If you're tempted to eat that candy bar or Diet pop, DON'T!!! Go outside and do something fun. Plant something, wash your vehicle, go to a nursery and look at all the flowers/trees. Just get out and live your life. Don't sit around your house wishing you could be 10 lbs skinnier. It ain't going to happen sweetie! Even if you don't feel like exercising, do it anyway! We want to be GREAT and we only have 3 1/2 weeks left to make ourselves GREAT!!!! That isn't very long if you think about it. Make the decision and get serious! Don't deprive yourself. Just don't overindulge in the good things in life.
Ok, that's good for now. I'll probably email you soon and make sure you're out and about and doing what you are suppose to do! If you're already doing what you should do, get on the phone and visit with someone else that's doing this. They might need some motivation!

Week 2 WINNER
Wow, you ladies are unbelievable!!!!! Our winners for week 2 are:
Amy and Brooke with 888. (They both got 444 points. The most possible for week 2. We have work to do ladies. They are on fire!!!)
2nd place was Susan and Marisa with 852 points. They each had 426 points.
Now we all know what we need to shoot for for this week. We will be doing a little something extra with next weeks points. Just a little bit of incentive for next week. More info to come later this week. Just get really good at tracking your points and getting good at writing your goals down. That just might help with your points next week!
That's about it for today. I'd love to hear how all of you are doing and how things are going for you and your team mate. For those that didn't email me your points, get with it! You don't want me coming to your house. I'll make you put your running shoes on and run with me. Like for 5 miles!!! :-) I love all of you and think the world of all of you!

I'm going to announce the winner (with points) for this week. I am missing one persons points and that might change the winner for this week! So, for today our winners are......
Susan and Marisa! They had 843 points!!!
Celeste and Jodie had 832 points!!
Congratulations ladies! That's called committment. It helps to do all of the items each day. You might not get all of your points for good food but if you don't have minus points and most of your points come from exercising, you'll get a pretty high score. Missing just a prayer here or there and not reading scriptures adds up too. So, work hard to stay focused on all areas of your life. Make living better a priority and this will be a close competition!!!
If you are traveling at all, you can still snack. Just don't buy the bag of Cheetos! Munch almonds, popcorn, carrots, cheese sticks, granola. Have a Crystal Light drink. I know a few of you were traveling last week and that might have hurt your score some. No worries. Work hard this week to focus on your goal!! (You wrote your goal down, right? It's an extra 5 points if you have your goal put up around your house. So, get on it!!)
Kind of a cool thing. I've had more than half of you email me and tell me that you lost at least 3 pounds or more this week! You are so amazing! That makes me excited to see how many pounds total we'll lose for the whole 8 weeks. We should have a group goal for points scored and pounds/inches lost. If you have suggestions on a group goal, let me know. We'll post the goal on here next Monday. We'll set the standard and those that choose to do it another time will know what they need to do to get better!
Keep it up! Take it one day at a time and you'll be one healthy women!
