Warriors Update

We really enjoyed our closing “surprise” healthy luncheon on yesterday.  We had a great turnout (16).  Many of you were at off-site meetings – you were missed.

We thanked everyone who completed and submitted their self assessments.  We would love to hear from everyone.  The assessments were not just thrown in a drawer somewhere; we read and discussed each one.  We received very good feedback.  Some of the information is being used in our upcoming session.  So don’t think that your feedback is not needed and/or appreciated. 

We did an overview of the next session.  Some good “stuff” is being planned!  Registration is “officially” open.  The following are links to the Wellness Warrior’s Website and the registration site.  If you know of someone who may be interested, please share the links with them.

The Web site is being “slightly” revamped to make it more “user” friendly – no longer “password” protected.  So, please use it freely.  Going forward you will need to visit the Website on a regular basis to stay “in tune” with “What’s Happening” in the Wellness Warriors World. 

We are pushing “get moving” next session.  Toni Douglas shared about her goal of 10,000+ steps daily.  Dr. Oz encourages 10,000 steps and now a few of us are encouraged to do the 10,000+ steps daily.

We did some research and found a great pedometer.  Today is my first full day of using it and it is the bomb.  If you are interested, I have shared my thrill about the pedometer and a link to the Website.

Personal Testimony:  This morning I put on my wonderful pedometer.  I cleaned off my car, went up and down the stairs a few times.  By the time I got on the treadmill at the gym,  it registered 878.  When I got off the treadmill it registered 4789 after 30 minutes of moderate to intense walking.  From the 4789 that registered after the workout 3692 was aerobic, 20.8g of fat calories burned,  336 calories burned, and 2.78 miles walked.  At 10:08 a.m., my pedometer is registering 6345 steps, 23.4g of fat calories burned, 383 calories burned and 3.20 miles walked.  Whoohoo!  I’m on my way to 10,000 steps today.  The pedometer resets itself at midnight tonight so I should make it!  Whoohoo!  I think I’ll come by and visit some of you right now so I can get some more steps in!  See you soon!

Go in and get registered.

Peace.

The pedometer information is below.    This one is from Amazon and recommended by Dr. Oz.
