The Battle of the Collective Bulge
Filed Under creative stories, human resources, personal | Leave a Comment
Our company wide weight loss challenge looks to be back on track this week.? No big losses by any of the three teams but collectively we had a pretty good “loss” for the week!
Here is The Guru’s message for the week -
———————————————–
Progress! Good job everyone. Some pretty good progress was made this week. Let’s ride this wave of success to the next level.
Kerry, I think it’s time to have the talk… Everyone seems really motivated but they lack the tools they need to succeed. After this talk, everyone will walk away with useful and applicable knowledge… They will OWN it! Like that seen in the matrix when Tank uploads all that data to Neo’s brain… You’ll walk out of the room saying, “I know Kung Fu!”
Another factor that will impact fat loss progress is something we haven’t really addressed yet… Exercise. After talking to a few of you today I have determined that there is enough interest to propose a workout program that can be done in 10-15 minutes right here at F&B without having to even go to a gym using inexpensive resistance training bands as the equipment that will rev up your collective metabolisms. More on that later.
Here are the numbers today:
Some upsets today… White has come from behind for the first time since this contest started to tie it up with team Red. Team Blue dropped behind, but only by 1 pound.
Red: 1255 lb, down 3 pounds this week and down 25 pounds from initial weigh-in.
White: 1039 lb, down 25 pounds from initial weigh-in (a loss of NINE pounds this week!)
Blue: 1247, up 3 pounds this week, down 24 pounds from initial weigh-in.
The total F&B loss is 74 pounds from the initial weigh-in, so you are all 3541 total pounds as of today.
Keep sending me questions. I think you’re all starting to figure this stuff out, so don’t be shy. I want all of you to succeed!
Good job guys!

One Step Forward… Two Steps Back

So the weight loss challenge is picking up steam… just not in the right direction!? I didn’t post anything last week because, well, the numbers did not look good.? This week? Not much better and it isn’t even the holiday season yet!
Two weeks ago we had lost 100 pounds as a group. This week we back-tracked and are only down 65 pounds as a whole.? We’ve gained 35 pounds in two weeks!
Here is J(the fitness Guru)P’s inspiration for the week -
——–
The entire F&B staff gained a total of 18 pounds this week. The adjusted initial weigh-in total was 3615 pounds. Today’s total is 3550 pounds, putting the entire staff at a total of 65 pounds lost.
No more messing around. Let’s not make excuses. Take care of your body because it’s the only one you’ve got! Re-read last weeks email that I just sent this morning and make a promise to yourself to be accountable. Get a little notebook that you can journal your intake. I promise that you’ll see results quickly. It’s easy to think you’re eating okay if you’re not keeping a record of it because there are lots of little snacks that you don’t count. No one gains weight while eating a sub-maintenance calorie diet. If you are gaining then you are simply ingesting more than your body’s energy requirement. The numbers don’t lie!
It’s only going to get harder with the cold weather and holidays on the way. Take charge NOW.? Like Kerry has said, take advantage of my offer to help individuals with stalled progress.
Your friend in fitness,
JP
