Finish Boot Camp As a Winner!
One of the most exciting finishes in Super Bowl history came in January of 2000. In Super Bowl XXXIV, Kurt Warner and the St. Louis Rams were clinging to a seven-point lead with mere seconds remaining. The Tennessee Titans were a few yards away from scoring and tying the game. As the clock expired, Tennessee ran the last play, a pass play. Wide receiver Kevin Dyson caught the ball and sprinted to the end zone…only to get tackled on the one-yard line. The Rams won the Super Bowl by a yard!
As we drive toward the finish, don’t get tackled today by circumstances or poor planning or lack of commitment. Don’t fall one yard short. Keep pushing, fight hard, and sprint to the finish!
Food for Thought: A Caloric Celebration?
Today is a celebration of sorts. We are putting a good amount of calories into our body today in preparation for a light Day 28. We want to step on the scale on Day 29 (morning after boot camp, before you go nuts with food!) and get a good set of measurements. So…instead of celebrating on Day 28 and saying, “Great job, have some cake!”….we are kinda doing that today.

Wellness Tip of the Day: Get the Inside Scoop Before You Eat Out!
There is a phone application out there that, if you punch in a zip code, will tell you which restaurants are in the area….AND will give you a breakdown of all the caloric information for their entire menu. It will rank the foods based on calories, fat grams, sodium, etc. If you have a Blackberry, iPhone, or Android, download the FREE application called “Good Food Near You”.
If you are going out to eat, you will do yourself a HUGE favor by making your order based upon nutritional information instead of consuming 127 fat grams because you DIDN’T PAY ATTENTION!
Have a great Day 27!
