The Sky's the Limit Wednesday

" They said jump. I couldn't.
They said Jump. I wouldn't.
They pushed me- And I flew."

Thank you to KINZ for a wonderful interview experience yesterday morning!  Mike was so great & he made the radio debut an enjoyable 5 minutes.  I barely made it inside the office and the phone lines began to ring ~ Neosho County residents are as excited as I am about the Meltdown.

Here are a few questions I have been asked and I want to clarify on several things . . . . .

I can't attend the Meltdown kickoff this Saturday, September 17th from 9 -11 ~ can I come in before or next week?  Yes!  You can schedule an appointment this week to come in prior to Saturday.  Call our office at (620) 431-5770.

What happens at the kickoff ?  When you arrive at the Health Department (320 E. Main St) on Saturday you will receive a registration packet and a registration form.  You will fill out the form with your t-shirt size and at that time you will pay your $12.  Stephanie will go over the packet with you so you aware of our blog website, facebook page, and you have our email address.  You will also have list of the exercise classes offered, nights, times, and locations.

How long will it take on Saturday and do you weigh me?  I would allot for 30 - 45 minutes.  Our nurses will weigh you (or you have the option of weighing yourself), waist measurements will be taken, and your blood pressure.  Included in your registration packet is a Meltdown measurement card that you record your stats on.  Stephanie then receives your numbers and you will have a record put in your Meltdown file that ONLY STEPHANIE SEES.  We have to have a starting point for your Meltdown and then weekly weigh-ins plus measurements.

I don't have a team member can I still sign up for Meltdown?  Yes!  If you would like a power partner who is also doing Meltdown by themselves we would be happy to match you up.  It's always more fun with an exercise buddy!

When do exercise classes begin?  Monday, September 19th!!  We wanted our systems to be full speed ahead for a powerful first week of Meltdown.

How do we get updates and stay plugged in?  Make sure Stephanie has your email address.  "Like" us on Facebook ~ Neosho County Meltdown.  Go to our blogsite http://neoshocountymeltdown.blogspot.com/ for recipes, motivation, & updates.  Weekly updates for Meltdown will also be on KINZ ~ my goal is for an average weight loss of 2 pounds per Meltdown participant!!  We can do it ladies!

What if I have questions, need motivation, etc?  Give Stephanie a call.  I am here for each and every Meltdown participant.  If you are having a struggle stop by the office, give Stephanie a call, or email her.  We've all been there and we are here to lift one another up!

Have a blessed week and I look forward to seeing you on Saturday at kickoff!!

Love, Stephanie
