Tanner Health Source located in Arbor Place Mall is sponsering a Weight Loss Challenge. The challenge will consist of 12 contestants which will commit for 6 months. We will receive a 6 month gym membership, a personal trainer to help us succeed, group motivational meetings and weigh-ins, individual consults with a registered dietitian, health assessments including blood work for cholesterol, incentives to motivate, potential to win fabulous prizes and best of all - The prize of good health!!!
My friends Janine Dean and Kelly Thomason told me about the contest and I mentioned it to my family and Emily, my 10 year old daughter, got very excited about it and told me I had to enter. She said she knew I would be chosen. Emily sent me an e-mail a few days later and told me that I always do for everyone else and that I needed to do something for myself for a change. So.... I entered.
Approximately 50 people submitted applications, 30 were interviewed and 12 selected. I was very surprised when they called to schedule an interview. I did not think I'd have a chance. But as I look back, I'm not surprised. I had been praying about my weight for a while and I knew I needed help, but was not sure where to find it. I asked the ladies in my Life Group from church to pray with me about it too. Thank you Laverne, Rachael and Tracey! Be careful what you ask for because God sure does deliver! I was so excited the day they called me and told me I had been selected. What an awesome opportunity to lose weight. We are being given all the right tools to succeed. This is exactly what I needed. God also knew he'd have to place me in a position where there was no backing out. My only option now is to become a LOSER!
