Team WOWzers, CONGRATULATIONS! You won the POG prize drawing this time. The WOWzers have 93% POG completion and were entered into a random drawing for those teams with at least 80% POG Completion. So what has our winning team been up to this week as they manage the newly added Department of Nutrition (and maintain the Department of Exercise)? It’s no surprise that they are writing down their food intake and taking time to learn about what they’re putting into their bodies- GO TRUDY! Deborah is not only writing down her food intake, but she’s recording her portion sizes as well. So what’s the difference between serving size and portion size? A serving is a specific amount of food defined by common measurements (e.g. a tablespoon or a cup). A portion is the amount of food you put on your plate. For instance, a serving of milk is 8 ounces, but the portion you pour might be nearly twice that size.
Keep up the wise eating and be very aware of what and how much you’re eating (no mindless eating)!

5 Years Younger Through the Department of Exercise
The Peeps proved that they are pros! They completed 100% of their week 1 POGs (assessing their baseline and completing the survey). The NESW’ers took second place with 92% of their POGs and the Poggers, Woggers & Loggers aren’t far behind with 90%.
We’re halfway finished with week two. Which team will do the best job of managing the Department of Exercise? We’re noticing that the teams who have been the most active in the Discussion Board are the ones who are doing the best so far. Encourage one another to stay on track! Great job of posting your exercise goals; many of you are being very specific and the responses are quite varied. Don’t forget to fulfill those goals not only this week, but each week for the remainder of the challenge. Keep moving, CEOs- Exercise can make your “Real Age” over 5 years younger!

Assessing Your Baseline
The survey results are in! Thanks for taking part. An overwhelming majority of you said that your two main expectations of this challenge are that you will become healthier and you will lose weight. What does becoming healthier mean to YOU? Is it based on how you feel or how you compare to the norm or . . . ? How do you measure this? Share your thoughts on the Discussion Board.
We have a recommendation for you: determine and write down your baseline numbers in order to determine your level of health and your progress. What is your weight, body fat percentage, blood pressure, cholesterol, triglyceride level, waist-to-hip ratio, flexibility level, cardiovascular capacity, strength, and balance capacity?
The good news is that 65% of you know your blood pressure and 38% of you responded that you are at a healthy weight; however, most of you don’t know your baseline fitness levels. Only 21% of you know your waist-to-hip ratio, but the good news is that this measurement, along with most of the others, can be taken yourself. Don’t forget to refer to your week 1 newsletter, Assessing Your Baseline, for help and visit the E-learning course titled “Fitness Assessment” found within the Library tab.
Many of you responded that you are looking for a lot of encouragement and support from your team. The Discussion Board is the perfect tool for you to communicate and support each other. Look for our WOW Challenge blog every Wednesday.

It's WOW time
This week I sat with a client who has every opportunity to change your status quo. This is not the first time I've had this conversation and I know it's not the last - as long as I'm in this field. Here are some key words that sat with me:
You're right, I know I can do this.
You're right, I need to do this.
You're right, I have to do this.
You're right, but I don't know why I don't do this.
You're right, I know I feel better when I'm healthy.
You get the jest of the conversation.
It took a while of my questioning until I finally got to the only answer that matters.
You're right, I WILL do this, starting today! I was elated! Today is good, this minute is great - don't wait.
Our next challenge is designed to provide you the tools and information to be the best CEO of your QOL (Quality of Life). Afterall, who can be your CEO better than you. Remember, it all starts With-U.
We'll be there every step of the way With-U!
For more information check out our WOW welcome video. It's not to late to grab a team and register!
