Wednesday

Good morning sweet campers!   

Just wanting to see if there is any hula-hoop love in Granbury this morning?   You did great with the new stuff that I threw at your body yesterday.  Today I am challenging you to make one of your "5 above the line" GRATITUDE.  I am happy to report that even though my alarm went off this morning without a hitch, I was still able to instantly shift into Gratitude Mode.  

Can't wait to see you tomorrow.  I will be praying for your safety, your strength and your success at changing your lines.

Blessings,

Amy

Thank you

Dear Campers,

     

I know that many of you saw the thank you post and picture of all the food from yesterday on Facebook.  If you have not, check it out, because you were a part of a great moment.  I was overwhelmed by your generous gift and you willingness to choose to change the lines.  Your workout yesterday not only changed the lines of your own health and fitness, but also changed the health of those that will be receiving the food.  You provided over 500 pounds of food..................amazing!   

I had a great meeting yesterday with Stacy Bishop (the counselor) and Jimmy Dawson (the Principal) at Acton Middle School.  We are working out the kinks and are going to jump to our "Feed Between the Lines" program.   They were overwhelmed with our idea and generosity.  The RBC program will initially be designed to get healthy food to the kids that don't have anything to eat prior to their participation in an athletic event.  Many parent bring food to their kids, but I have been told by the coaches that at least 50% of the kids do not have any pre-game fuel.  You are making great things happen for kids and I am so proud of you.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!  We will be working with both Acton Middle School and Granbury Middle School!

     

We have one more week to go in this camp.  Renew you commitment to healthy eating and make good choices over the weekend.  

Thank you and see you dark and early Monday,

Amy

Friday challenge

Dear Campers,

     

Thank you in advance for accepting the back pack challenge for tomorrow.  If you were not at RBC on Wednesday, here are the steps to success for tomorrow.

1.  Locate a backpack.......do not go buy one.  If you need one, just let me know.  Any kind of backpack will work. 

2.  Lay a large towel on the ground and place 10 can of food in that towel.  

3.  Wrap the canned goods in the towel just like a gift.

4.  Place that gift inside the backpack and zip it up!

5.  Bring this backpack to RBC tomorrow.....bring your dumbbells, workout towel and water too!

 

Tomorrow we will workout outside again, unless it is raining.  Let's meet inside just as usual.  You will wear your backpack for the entire workout and the share the gift of the food before you leave.  It is the coolest thing ever, and I am so excited.  This is definitely outside the lines! 

 

See you dark and early,

Amy

Sleeves

Hey Campers,

     

Tomorrow I choose faith, friends and fitness under the full moon!  You might want to start out with your sleeves on!  What a fun change!  Go ahead and come in get checked in and for me to give you a few keys to success during the workout.

See you dark and early,

Amy

Tuesday

Dear Campers,

     

Thank you for hearing my plea to change from t-shirt aquisition to getting nutrition to the kids caught between the lines.  I have a meeting scheduled with Stacy Bishop at AMS and with Jincy Ross (Jincy, just say "yes!") at GMS to begin to formulate a plan of action.  Thank you for commitment to faith, friends and fitness.  I will be praying for your safety, your strength and your success!

See you dark and early tomorrow,

Amy

Wednesday

Sweet Campers,

     

The wisdom today from is to find your "5 above the line".   Make the RBC hand signal today to remind yourself that only 5 things can successfully occupy 80% of your time.  I challenge you to share that idea with at least one other person.  More is not better....better is better.  Great job with the box and band workout yesterday.  Hope it was fun and challenging to you.  Please let me know if I can help you in any way as we move together on this journey to faith, friends, and fitness.

I care about your safety, your strength and your success.

See you dark and early,

Amy

Find your line

Happy Tuesday, Campers!

     

How are you?  First thing this morning (as I was drinking my water) my legs told me that they loved all the squats from yesterday!  I hope yours spoke similar words.  

Yesterday we began our journey to faith, friends, and fitness by discussing "the lines" that are around us.  I encouraged you to become aware of the thousands of physical lines that shape our daily lives.  Some of these could be the lines on highways, lines in architecture, lines in furniture or even the lines on our faces!  These are the lines that allow us to move safely in many directions, add structure to our lives and to apply beautiful distinction to our faces.  As you move through the rest of your day, continue to see these lines and reflect on their purpose.  (You may even want to journal some of your thoughts so far.)  We will continue our journey tomorrow morning.  

     

I want to express gratitude to Granbury First United Methodist Church for being the place to "find your line" this session.  

See you dark and early,

Amy
