Our leader in weight watchers (who by the way is an amazing leader) set up a challenge to our Monday night class. The challenge was to help us weight watchers members to exercise and get moving more. The challenge lasted for a whole month with prizes that were, fancy serving spoons that measures your food for you, and a new member kit; which includes a dining out companion (so you can eat out and follow the program), a total food guide (which gives a general point amount for different foods), a three month journal (to record what you eat in it, and track your points), a recipe book (that give simple recipes for breakfast lunch and dinner), and a coupon booklet (with a lot of coupons for things you can get to make weight watchers more fun).
In order to win these wonderful prizes the leader had to pull your name out of the box. There were several ways you could get your name in the box.
1 entry for every 10 minutes of exercise
5 entries for exercising with the leader
3 entries for having walked 7000 steps on the day of weigh in
7 entries for turning in your tracker
Well I am all about winning something so I did all of those things, and so did Carly(my wife). Well today was the day to pick the big winners (no pun intended). So our Leader could be honest she decided she wasn't going to pick, so she had one of the front desk ladies pick. The first item up for win was the measuring spoons. The woman put her hand in the box and pulled a name; with the rest of the class holding our breath in anticipation. Carly! the leader called out. We all clapped because she deserved to win them, and frankly I felt hey if she won I win to, so to me it was a win win situation.
Now it was the time to announce the winner for the wonderful new member kit. A name was drawn and again anticipation. After waiting a few seconds she announced; Charles! WHAT! I screamed out yeah we both won.
Carly, being the most amazing person that she is, said "here you can have the spoons back, pick another winner". Smart girl keep the new member kit. But she was turned down we were told we won fair and square. That was pretty exciting.
Sir Charles, this is very cool! I'm excited that you are on this journey, and that you have chosen to share it with us. It is definitely an inspiration for the rest of us! Keep up the awesome effort! :)
