The 1st and 2nd
place Challenge Winners will be luncheon guests of Lake Cumberland Regional
Hospital at the Somerset-Pulaski County Chamber of Commerce meeting on Tuesday,
May 5, at 12:00 noon. The meeting is held at The Center for Rural
Development.
If you would like to join in
the celebration, everyone is welcomed. I believe the cost of the luncheon
is in the $12- $14 range each, and you can pay at the door.
We want to acknowledge this
year’s “Perfect Attendance” winners, too: Cheryl Adelmeyer, Joe Adelmeye,
Epifania Ball, Shirley Gaddis, Derick Parnell, Eva Somers, and Del
Whitson. They were presented a special gift from the hospital in
recognition of their accomplishment. Congratulations!
Finally, we want to
congratulate our POP participant with the highest number of Incentive
Points. It’s Epifania Ball! Who-hooo! Great
job, Fannie!

T-Shirt, but DIDN’T come for the FINAL WEIGH-IN – we still have your shirt
waiting for you! You can stop by the
Senior Friends office on the basement level of the hospital anytime between
8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. to get your shirt! If that time doesn’t work for you, please

to pick up at the front information desk at a time that is more convenient.
You all have been great!

Monday's Meeting - LOCATION CHANGE
Cancer Treatment Center - New
location for this week’s POP meeting
Due to
a water leak near the Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital Conference Centers, we
must change the location for the Monday, January 18 meeting.
We will
have our weigh-ins, beginning at 5:00 p.m. and the program following at 6:00
p.m. in the Community Room at the Lake Cumberland Cancer Treatment Center, located
at 112 Tradepark Drive, at light #8, behind Ashley Furniture.
The
January 25 meeting will move back to the hospital.
This
week’s program features one of our POP community partners, J. R. Smith, medical
exercise specialist and owner of Fit Maxx Functional Fitness and The Wellness
Clinic. J.R.’s presentation will be "How to be an 8
Percenter."
Psychology
Today reported
that, of all those that attempt to make a lifestyle change for New Year's
Resolutions, 92% of them fail. But, J.R. is going to explore with us what the
remaining 8% did to make their transformation successful. He declares
that, with a simple, yet wise approach, you can make your New Year's Resolution
one that will keep you successful all year long and put you in the 8% Success
Group.
I know
you will enjoy this great program!
Be sure
to keep on exercising . . . and getting your trackers filled out. And,
just as Dr. Mobley said, don’t get discouraged if you slip up a bit. Just
start all over again.
This is
going to be a GREAT week for weight loss! We’ll look forward to seeing you at
the Lake Cumberland Cancer Treatment Center on Monday evening!
Hope
you have a terrific weekend! J
