Members learn to have ‘vision’

Eight ladies weighed in this past Monday. Billie had the best weight loss for the week with 0.8 pounds lost. Doris won the Two Bit Bowl quarters. We started a six week challenge called ‘Ready… Set…Summer! We are to do six different activities for the next six weeks. We have two ribbons left on the surprise box, so I will be taking a new surprise box next week.

Our program was What Is Your Vision? Helen Keller said, “The greatest tragedy in life is people who have sight but no vision.” But, it’s not enough to have a vision; it is how we act on that vision that matters. Let’s revisit why we joined TOPS and think about our visions for ourselves and how we can reach our goals. Throughout the TOPS program, we are reminded frequently that we have choices in everything we do: what we eat, how often we exercise, how we think, etc. By focusing and acting on our intentions, we can make positive changes over time. As TOPS members, we aim to follow a healthy lifestyle by eating sensibly and keeping active. We aspire to Take Off Pounds Sensibly, with the ultimate goal of becoming a KOPS and working to Keep Off Pounds Sensibly. Whether you imagine yourself wearing an outfit in a smaller size, running a race, or fitting comfortably into a single seat on an airplane, visualizing specific achievements can motivate us to stay focused on our goal. Your vision can change as you change. Remember to revisit your vision of yourself to help reach your final destination.

We closed our meeting with the TOPS Pledge.
