TOPS Chapter 9319 El Dorado Springs met in the Bethel Free Will Baptist Church, 1300 S. Summer St, El Dorado Springs on Thursday, April 28, for their weekly weigh-in and meeting.
Linda Hall, Leader, called the meeting to order.
Carol led us in singing “This Is My LOSE Year”
We said our TOPS and KOPS pledges.
Linda led us in roll call and walking reports. Twenty-One members weighed in, we had a Gain of 11.6 lbs. and a Loss of 4.0 lbs. resulting in a Net Gain of 7.6 lbs. Best loser for the week was Robbie with a loss of 2.4 lbs.
Warren had the program. He told several funny “stories” then got serious. He talked about TOPS Magazine’s September 2021 article about obstacles. Obstacles are consistent with life. Warren said we can use this to our advantage, use it as a teaching tool to tell you to slow down, take a look at what’s going on in your life and how you can change it to make it better. Get yourself clear on your values. Sometimes it is not what you eat but how much. Make a weekly menu and planner. Warren then commented on an article in TOPS Magazine on intermittent fasting. This person set herself a schedule of Sunday, light carbs, Monday No carbs, Tuesday normal, Wednesday No Carbs, Thursday Normal, Friday Light carbs, Saturday Normal. This worked for her. Thank you, Warren, we always enjoy your programs.
Marilyn said there are about seven slots open in the contest.
Marble Game: Judy B won the right to draw but did not get the winning one.
Several members are leaving early Friday morning for SRD in Jefferson City. Plans were made for rides and rooms. We are excited to have the 2021 Missouri State Queen in OUR CHAPTER this year. Expect everyone to come back with exciting stories.
With no other business meeting was adjourned with Linda’s thought of the week:
“Not all storms come to disrupt your life, some come to clear your path.”
And our Chapter Motto: IF IT IS TO BE IT IS UP TO ME.
