If you join the program, they will pay you $25/mo that you average 7000 steps per day. Since I walk all the time and the flex was only $25, participating is a no-brainer for me. I had 7500 steps when I got home from work today. Then I went to Target, where a set of three pastel bands for the flex was on sale. I confess that I spent $15 because I think black is boring and I don't want to look like everyone else.
I would have done the same. I wish I was paid for walking. I'd never sit down!!!0 -
Yes I think it is fitting motivational quote for me, sounds like for you too!MelissaPhippsFeagins wrote: »I love that, Wendy. You might give yourself a concussion riding a bike (me) or break your leg hiking (you), but you will have lived your life instead of merely passing time.

I confess that I dread going to work tomorrow because i have a new employee to train. I am not a teacher or I would be a teacher, not a bean counter.3

Right? I don't know what I am going to do when I have to train because I am so effiecient at my job that I waste A LOT of time on mfp, reading blogs, etc. I bet I only actually work 4 hours of my 8 hour day and I don't know how I am going to fill the time in when I train.1 -

Wait!?! You do Boy Scouts and Sunday school and have children. You are to a teacher.
Just be your awesome self.0 -

You're the second person to say that to me in two days, Wendy. I'll take it under consideration. But, I am Cub Scout leader and Sunday School teacher because other adults wouldn't do it. I have autism. It's hard to teach people who don't and will never think like me.0 -

..... so I'm a freak of nature and love black licorice....
All black licorice is within the scope of my enjoyment
Love black licorice! And red! All licorice is good, but I think its cherry I like (is it strawberry that tastes funny? or vice versa?)
Ugh black licorice & black jelly beans are nasty!
My nieces & nephews like those Wax Coke Bottle candies.

The past few times I've had a Big Mac or Double Quarter Pounder With Cheese I too thought of it as a waste of calories.
Don't even get me started on the waste of calories I used with the Hardee's cheeseburger.0 -

One of the things I taught when I was training trainers how to train is to figure out how the trainee learns and then teach to their learning style. You cannot teach someone to learn the way you learn. You have to teach in they way they learn - very hard, but super effective. We used Kolb's four basic learning styles:
Active Experimentation - basically let me screw with it til I figure it out. I'm not scared to "break" it, I'll just try it another way next time if I do. (This is me!)
Concrete Experience - I need to tie this new learning experience to something I already know how to do.
Reflective Observation - I need to think this over, and over, and over, before I touch it and try it (These ones drive me nuts). I am scared to "break" it.
Abstract Conceptualization - I need to understand the 'why' behind it. Many similarities with Reflective Observation.

Are those the ones you bite open and drink the fluid? I vaguely remember those from when I was a kid.0 -

I am abstract conceptualization. I always want to understand the why. But then I jump into it and try. Not a lot of thinking over and over.

Just let him/her know that they can ask for clarification. And no question is a bad question
