A Journey of Self Discovery :)

Hello Ladies and Gents!

I hope everyone is well and enjoying this 72 degree weather :)  I may have to eat dinner out side tonight!

Last week in the meetings we introduced the new Walk-It Challenge. This is going to be SO great!  Please mark June 5th on your calendar for a 5k on the Provo River trail.  We'll have more details very shortly. 

Now, this week in our meetings, we will be discussing the importance of self monitoring.  I say ALL THE TIME, you cannot change things that you are not aware of.  Come on in and see how this TREMENDOUS skill can help you toward you healthy lifestyle goals!

See you soon!!!
