Team Meeting

There was a PES Project team meeting this morning and here are the minutes of the meeting.
P= Physical, E=Emotional, S= Spiritual

5:17 am Meeting began
S= OK Rayna, time to get up and get walking. You know you will feel energized once you do.
5:18 am Rayna gets on scale and has gained 2#
5:22 am Team starts walking
P= I am going to start this meeting with a complaint. Everyone looks at me like I'm the "bad guy" when she (Rayna) gains weight, but who's out there 6 days a week walking in the morning. Me! You girls are sabotaging me.
E= What do you mean? I'm helping her celebrate her loses of weight. She deserves to celebrate, doesn't she?
S= Yes, but we're not helping if we don't make her act with reason. I am trying to feed her with thoughts of hope and possibility.
E= Well, Rayna has always been a wayward, strong-willed, out of control child. What else do we expect other than this journey will be a roller-coaster ride, up and down? Besides that, why can't she have a snack or treat now and then? She deserves it.
P= Emotional, you are as up and down as Rayna's weight and her compliance to this project. One day you're high on hope and celebrating and the next day you're whining. You need to get with the program here.
E= Everybody else gets to eat what they want and still be trim and fit, why can't Rayna?
S= No, everybody does not eat all the snacks, sweets and fatty foods that they want. Look around you, most trim and fit people eat small portions, lots of healthy foods like salads, veggies and fruits. We need to be the voices of reason for Rayna. We need to work together on this project.

More discussion of the same was held.

6:11 am
P= OK girls, we're almost home. Let's agree to march together. 1, 2, 3, march, march, march! Girls we're going for one more lap, we're going to make it 3 miles today!
S= Whoa! We didn't stop for our water break to refresh us!
E= Wait a minute, we're supposed to go home after 2.5 miles. This is no fair. I'm tired of this meeting. I want to go home, I'm going to cry!

2.6 miles Rayna cried.
