Making a difference

 “A LIFETIME OF GREAT HEALTH DOESN’T HAPPEN BY CHANCE, IT’S SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO WORK AT”  …  a typical family’s first week with the Goal Bands Game - 1/2 hr. daily family walk, no junk foods, a salad for lunch.  Some helpful links www.schoolwellnesspolicies.org

JUDGE JUDY. Should we, or shouldn’t we ?

We have been thinking about asking TV’s JUDGE JUDY for an endorsement of our GOAL BANDS GAME program. Her grandchildren already love it ( Judy is the mother-inlaw of my brother, Danny ), but we have been torn over the pro’s and con’s. While she is a woman of great principle and integrity and would reflect our program’s core value’s of positive growth through self discipline and taking responsibility for one’s own actions, there is the distinct possibility that her powerful persona would overshadow the GOAL BANDS GAME program.

A Life Changing Game, and fun too ! Give them to everyone you love.

“See what fans’ across the globe are raving about ? Put on your yellow wristbands ( 1st stage ) today and start achieving your hardest goals”… The Goal Bands Game is an incredibly easy way for participants of any age to achieve goals that had previously eluded them, and can be enjoyed by virtually anyone, in any setting ( family, school, company, etc. ). The Goal Bands Game utilizes color coded wristbands to establish a reward/reminder dynamic that is both tactile and visual. The colors parallel those of the belt system in karate, with each wristband representing a stage of the program. There are 6 stages within the program, with participants switching wristbands, and colors, daily upon goal success. The complete Goal Bands Game program cycle should take, ideally, 1 week ( 1 day, 1 wristband. 2 days for the ‘blackbelt’ ). The goals are meant for individual achievement ( ie Sally reads at night for 1/2 hr., Peter stops talking while the teacher is talking, Dad exercises every night, Mom eats a salad for lunch ) though groups of any size can participate and common goals may be established as well ( ie  Daily family walk/hike ). The framework of the Goal Bands Game program allows for flexibilty in the setting of the goals. Goals can be changed for each daily stage ( ie Monday, study French for 1 hr. after school; Tuesday, practice violin … ). Or, goals can be the same for the whole ‘game’ cycle ( ie 1/2 hr. reading and 1/2 hr. of writing practice each night, do homework without being told…). The Game is for all ages and Goals can be :

1) purely academic in nature ( see, above examples ),

2) health and fitness oriented ( ie no junk foods, no snacking between meals… ),

3) disease prevention and/or maintenance ( ie quit smoking, quit drinking, reduce dietary salt and sugars… ),         

4)  safety ( ie stay out of the wave pool at summer camp, always wear your bike helmet while riding, no talking to strangers, wear your seatbelt, 2 glasses of wine max before driving… ), 

5) beauty ( ie wear your sunblock, work on your abs, drink 6 glasses of water per day… )

6) financial ( ie bring your lunch, use coupons, save your change, no impulse shopping…)

7) Coaching ( ie batting stance correction, golf swing and follow thru…),

Closing the gap between great distances ( ie grandma in Fla. plays with grandkids in NY, overseas’ servicemen and women play with kids back home…)

9) etc. etc.

 We offer 3 sizes of wristbands S, M, L so that adults ( ie parents, grandparents, teachers… ) can ‘play’ Goal Bands Game along with their kids. This enhances the program dynamic within the home, classroom, workplace and makes it easy for positive changes in their lives as well. We are also becoming a product of first choice for  an ever expanding list of institutional ‘wellness’ programs and fundraising efforts, the possible uses of our ‘game’ seeming to grow as fast as the imagination.

TIME TO TAKE THE LEAD.

“For the first time in over 100 years the life expectancy of our children is going down, due largely to an increase in obesity rates and other lifestyle related illnesses” Put aside your remote, your ’mouse’, your “whatever is keeping you from better health”. This week, set ‘wellness’ goals for yourself and ask  your family and friends to participate with you. Make a daily walk ( 30 - 60 min.s ) the centerpiece of your daily goals and then add a few crunches, leg raises, or other fitness activities. Make the walk at your neighborhood, school, workplace, wherever, just do it. Also, while you’re at it, why not define some daily nutritional goals for your 1st Black Belt Goals Game ( ie cut out the junk food, drink more water, no snacking between meals, etc ) as well ? Use your Black Belt Goals Game wristbands to encourage success and remember your commitment to start your whole family on the path to better health and fitness.

“No Child Left Inside” Newburg/Beacon bridge walk 5/30/09.

I wanted to thank all of the scouts, scout leaders, and parents for making me feel so welcome and for their great response to the Goal Bands Game. The weather was perfect, everyone had a great time and I have been invited to any number of future Scouting events. A complete success.
