I have so many thoughts going through my mind on this day. The biggest one leading up to this meeting was am I fat enough. Yes, I really thought that. My negative thinking gets me every-time. I submitted an application to be apart of this team just like everyone else. I met the criteria to be able to apply for this years team. I DESERVE THIS! My irrational thoughts are my biggest competition. I am worth it, I deserve this and I will conquer these hurdles for a happier, healthier, fitter individual.
20 individuals, 3 Men & 17 Women. We will be split up into 2 (10 person) teams for the St. Lukes Weightloss Challenge.
We received our welcoming packet and as an ice breaker each person was given a question on a piece of paper and well as we went around the room; one by one each one of us introduced ourselves and read our question and answered it. Mine???
"Which celebrity (male or female) has a physique you most admire?"
I had 15 people in front of me and I had no idea what my celebrity is I most admire. One thing came to mind and I just couldn't shake it. I was so frightened of what people would say or think when I stated my celebrity. When it came for me to answer this I went with someone's physique I truly admire....... Marilyn Monroe. I was totally expecting to have complete awkward response silence. Again my negative thought and irrational thoughts should just be shot on immediate thought. No one laughed or scuffed. My answer was in tern accepted and maybe my teammates were a bit surprised. It wasn't your normal Actor/Actress in todays mainstream. I looked at Marilyn as someone who stood out over time. Did what she thought was best for her and her body to live it happily. She did it looking damn sexy too with those natural curves. That is what I want.
Order of business ~ We had to decide what color our 2015 team would be as well as what days we want our weekly team meetings and workouts to be. I can not recall at this time which male; I want to say it was James, that we have tie-dye shirts. I was so excited and thought that would be such an amazing change and out of the ordinary. My first vote was Purple then Tie-Dye with Friday evenings as our team workout day. Well........ The consensus voted and....................
Team Color - Purple
Team Workout Day - Sunday Evening
Homework ~ Do 3 stretches 5 times daily, which includes planking. Oh yeah, our planks....... We have to be able to hold them for 2 minutes before our first team workout. YIKES!
