I think I have shared that I joined a weight loss challenge recently. It hasn't gone too well thus far. It's based on body fat reduction - not weight loss. And it's really weird. I lose a couple pounds and the body fat has gone up. I gain a pound and it drops. Really weird. Anyway, every week we get on the scale, they record our weight, then they ask our height, and our age, and we hold this gauge in our hands until a figure pops up - which supposedly has measured our body fat.
I've gone both ways - up and down - on both the scale and the body fat measurement thingy. THIS week, I gained 1.4 pounds, and lost .9 in body fat. BUT, what I'm wanting to share is that they FINALLY said it!
When they asked my age, and I gave it, both turned to look at me. They do this every week, but have never said anything. FINALLY, this week, both of them say, "I have to stop and look at you every time you give your age for I can not believe it is correct. We think you are in your early 50's! (and I'm 65!!) YES!! YES!! YES!!
See, it doesn't take much to make someone feel good. Guys - be sure and tell your wife how young they look. Gals - be sure and tell your hubby how young they look. It will make their day! Guaranteed!! Of course you MUST tell the truth!
My boss is in St. Louis until Thursday and I still have plenty to keep me busy. At least I'm not having to rush to meetings - and the one biggie I had on Friday, I just got a call from the Director and she wants to move it to the following week - which is ok with me. In fact, she asked me to change a couple meetings. Need to do that first thing this morning.
And it's about time to get busy and I need to run down the hall to see one of the managers about changing the meeting date. She was to be at this meeting on Friday - but she asked off - and it's her department (hello?). I need to make sure she will be back the following week so that I can move it.
Make someone's day today - give them a compliment - and mean it!
Blessings!
