Retiring teacher, coach urges Colony grads to ‘find their 68’

I was more than a little disappointed when i sat down and logged in to read the blogs by Trim to Win contestants and found out there were none! Amber and Jeremiah are doing a great job of blogging but where's all the chatter from community members about our journey to greater fitness and health?!!! I'm thinking a little healthy competition is a good thing and words of encouragement are a great thing! No matter who ends up winning the 'pot o' gold' in April…we'll all be winners if we work hard and don't falter. Losing the excess weight that has plagued me for years will be such a victory and whether i make it to the ultimate goal or just make determined strides in that direction by April…i'll be thrilled! I'd be lying to say that the prize money doesn't motivate me some. It is true. I'm thinking that I could find more than a few ways to spend it! But the ultimate prize is reaching ones goals…reaching for the stars…and finding that your life has been transformed. Every time i go to the gym now, I am aware of others…the sweat and determination that shows on their faces..and wonder if they are in the Trim to Win contest too! Which motivates me to push a little harder, work a little more, strive to stay the course. Let's do this.
Shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you'll land amongst the stars…
