I GOT IN!

I have been in a wellness program, ME First, for almost 2 years now. ME First is a fabulous program and has helped me to learn about myself. I lost 28 lbs with the help of this program. I have gained the weight back, but I have learned so much about myself in this program. I have learned that I truly want to have a healthy lifestyle. I have learned that having a healthy lifestyle is a journey-not a destination. I have learned that I like to try new things and for the first time in my life I have learned to enjoy working out (although I certainly fall off the wagon from time to time!). I have also learned that I need more in order to achieve the goals I have regarding weight loss.

A couple of months ago during a facilitation meeting, we were told about a new Pilot program through ME First. This would be for offered to the participants from 2008 & 2009 (my group). The Pilot program was designed for people who are currently in Phase I of the program and have:

Had significant success earlier in their participation and are currently in a prolonged plateau
OR
Had significant success early in their participation and have relapsed (ME!)
OR
Have struggled to achieve significant success with one or more of their goals
AND:
Are ready to super charge their commitment to creating the healthy lifestyle they desire by:
Attending facilitations in newly configured groups of no more than 15 participants who will:
Attend their facilitations twice a month for two hours each, and Have contact with their Wellness Coach in all non-facilitation weeks, and Commit to stretch themselves beyond their current comfort zone by actively participatin in the Pilot facilitations vs. simply being present and Re-commit to taking the time they need to focus their attention more concretely on achieving the changes they want for themselves.

With that said, there were only so many spots available, so once you filled out an application your name would be placed in a lottery. I filled out my application that very day.

I found out today that I GOT ACCEPTED into the program! It's called ME 4 Life and I am SO excited! My first meeting is September 7 and I cannot wait!

This is going to be hard work, but it's going to be so worth it and I am so ready!
