(Sent this e-mail out to participants this morning, and thought I’d share it here as well…)
Five things!
1) WEDNESDAY WEIGH-IN
Tomorrow (Wednesday) is one of the obligatory bi-weekly weigh-ins. To avoid possible disqualification, please come in tomorrow afternoon or evening to get your official weight recorded.
I have a meeting in Phoenix (which used to be at Gangplank, hence the awkward timing) that starts at 7:00, so I’ll have to leave around 6:15ish. If you come later than that and I’m not here, just look for Chris Conrey (@conrey on Twitter) and he’ll oversee your weigh-in.
2) MONEY!
If you haven’t paid in your $100, please do so today or tomorrow! In keeping with the general premise of “Nobody gets to drop out,” it’s not fair to the other participants if you hang on to your money until you find out if you’ve got a shot or not. Pay in, and then make it happen. :-) This is still anyone’s game, but you *have* to pay the entry fee.
The preferred method is via Paypal to james@fortyagency.com. If you’d like to make alternative arrangements (e.g., cash or check), please let me know. (Though I’d like to avoid it as much as possible so I’m not hanging on to a bunch of people’s cash. Paypal takes a slice of the transaction, but it’s better than me losing a wad of bills.) :-)
3) COMPETITIVE FITNESS ON YELP
Anyone who’s been to our generous sponsor Competitive Fitness knows what an amazing experience it is. Tonia took the time to write up a great review on Yelp, and I thought it would be nice if those of us who’ve experience their free services might do the same. (They’re offering the training and facilities in exchange for us helping get the word out about them, and Yelp is one of the best ways to do that.) If you don’t have a Yelp account already, you can quickly register, and be posting a review within moments. Thanks!
Those of you who haven’t yet been to Competitive Fitness — check out the reviews of those who have, and see what you’re missing. :-)
4) THE FAT-OFF BLOG
As I mentioned last time, you guys are welcome and encouraged to post on our Tumblr blog. (If you need any help with Tumblr, just ask and we’ll get you set up.)
The current theme is a bit confusing (since it doesn’t show authors), so I’ll probably find a new theme or modify the existing one to clear that up.
5) IN CONCLUSION….
You guys are awesome. Keep it up!
