Hello all, this is Mike writing. Here is our weekend. Chris Johnson came to town this weekend. For those who don't know Chris, he is a friend of mine that I worked with at the Michigan Athletic Club for 15 years. He is a great guy and was our Director of Fitness and Wellness. About 8 years ago, Chris wrote a nutrition book called Meal Patterning and started giving seminars. He is now speaking nationally and working with several forture 500 companies including Merrill Lynch and Auto Owners Insurance. He has formed his own company called On Target Living and has just come out with two new books, On Target Living - Nutrition and On Target Living - Cookbook. Chris came to our clubs to give his dynamic presentation entitled "The Power of Feeling Your Best." It was hugely suggessful as we had over 200 people attend his seminars at the three clubs and we sold well over 100 books. It was great to see Chris and spend some time with him.
Karen and the kids went to a dance at their elementary school on Friday night while I was spending time with Chris. They had a fun time. On Saturday, Julia had her first gymnastics class and she really enjoyed it. Karen and I went to Chris' seminar on Saturday afternoon. After the seminar, Tim and I went downtown to get in the Wicked lottery at the Aronoff Theater. Karen has wanted to see this play for so long and Tim and are dedicated to her getting to see it during it's month stay in Cincinnati, even though it's been sold out for months. We didn't win the lottery for the 20 tickets issued Saturday night, but we will keep going downtown on a regular basis to try to win it for our beloved Wife/Mom.
Saturday night I crashed and went to bed at 9pm while Karen and the kids went out to eat and to the mall. Sunday, we went to Church then went out to lunch at First Watch. For the most part we've had a quiet day at home. We built a fire, I napped.
Well it's time for dinner so I had better go.
Blessings to all for a great week,
Mike

Karla,
Great to hear about your weight loss - that's great. Everybody in the plan lost weight last week. Karen, Kelly and you lost 3 pounds and Margaret and I lost 2 pounds. That's a perfect amount to lose in a week.
Be aware that your weight may fluctuate up and down a bit for the first 4-5 weeks. Your body is confused by your new eating and doesn't quite know how to react yet. But at the 4-5 week point, you'll see some consistent and impressive results.
I'm so proud of everyone. This is not easy - but the payoff will be well worth it.
The word/phrase of the week is "love yourself". We all sometimes beat ourselves up and tell ourselves negative things. It's important to "love yourself" and do good things for yourself such as eat better, exercise and rest. Remember to throw in some fun things like a good book, movie or nice bubble bath. Remember to pamper yourself - that's part of the plan.
Luke 10:27 "...Love your neighbor as yourself."
Psalm 32:22 "May your unfailing love rest upon us, Oh Lord..."
Blessings,
Mike
Hi Karen and Mike,
That's cool that you went to the mall with the kids and had lunch. No mall around here.
On a nother note, I'm making a video of the dietski dom tour and Julia is in it. Just thought I'd let you know. :)
sounds like a fun weekend! i miss you guys and hope you win those Wicked tickets soon!
Nick,
We miss you too!! We miss your great sense of humor and your positive laughter. It's always a joy when you are home.
I talked with a member today who goes to a Church of God. He was talking about a 21 day Daniel Fast that the entire Church of God is going through. Is that what Mt. Hope is doing?
Love,
Dad
