WRAP UP

Please do volunteer. Thanks to those who are already volunteering! A minimum of 10 hours/year of volunteerism is desperately needed from all instructors. The more people joining, the more is accomplished for God’s Kingdom! The leaders of WholyFit cannot do it alone and God does not want the leaders to do all the work. He wants instructors to be invested in His Kingdom for eternal rewards.

Gold Retreat is a very valuable source of education, along with fellowship with one another, plus plus plus…If you are Gold Instructors this will you give you the opportunity to be a Mentor to other Intern instructor’s and gain contact hours towards your Diamond Certification.

We would love to see each of your smiling faces there.

Remember we love each of you very much, and we are here for you in any way we can!

Isaiah 40:11 (NIV)

“ He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.”

In Him We Serve,

Kathy

• Buy 99% lean ground turkey in bulk
• Form 4 oz patties (Pre-cooked weight)
• Skillet-cook on non-stick pan (no oil) with lid on
• Cook to internal temperature of 165 degrees F
• Bag and freeze for future use

How To Use:
Pop the pre-cooked turkey burger in microwave at 75% power for 1.5 min till hot (depends on the microwave). Place it on a whole grain bun with condiments and enjoy your instant meal!

Stir fry any vegetables you like. Heat wok or non-stick pan and spray for 5 seconds with spray olive oil. Keep pan on high heat and stir as needed during the following process: Cut veggies into uniform shapes, cutting denser vegetables into smaller pieces. In the hot pan, first add the veggies that take the longest to cook such as carrots and broccoli. Then add quick cooking veggies like onions, garlic, sprouts, cabbage, snap peas and tomatoes.

Add in a package of the frozen chicken and stir till thawed and warm.   Don’t have the patience to stir fry the veggies? Do them beforehand and freeze them by portion!

Sandwich thins are great for instant sandwiches and they are half the calories of regular bread. Make a sandwich with chicken, lettuce, tomatoe and whatever condiments you like.  Thaw a bag of the chicken below and wrap in a tortilla. Be sure to use lots of lettuce and veggies or sprouts and use a little mustard as sauce.

Pre-seasoned and Cooked Chicken in Portions

• 2 lbs of chicken breast, boneless, skinless
• Cut it up into bite-size pieces
• Marinade for 20 minutes. (Use a marinade packet from the store. Usually add vinegar and water to it. Omit the oil or fats if called for.)
• Separate marinaded chicken into 2-4 oz portions
• To cook, separate in little piles by portion on bare cookie sheet. Bake it at 425 degrees for about 25 minutes or until the chicken reaches internal temperature of 165 degrees (use meat thermometer).
• Weigh out portions and put in zip lock bags
• Freeze

Hint #1:

Do not start up classes in summer.  Use this statistically low attendance time for continuing education and advertisement for Fall.

Kathy Cain, International Director will be your coach, a kind of lay pastor in charge of discipleship training of all the Directors. You, in turn are responsible to disciple and guide the instructors assigned to you. Don’t worry, you’ll get lots of help! Kathy will be meeting with you live online once a month with directions and encouragement on how to do just that!

The second line of communication is the Director’s Network Blog Kathy Cain will use to give you all the information you need to remember to give to your sheepies and answer any questions you have. Your sheepies will be able to go there to refresh their memories or ask questions.

The Director’s Network Blog will give Kathy the opportunity  to share some helpful tips, scripture, whatever God is downloading into her.  Plus, the Directors can also participate with questions to one another, prayer requests, and most importantly, build relationship among the sisters.

NOTE: Remember not to send out bulk emails please. Contact your sheepies personally, privately and directly. Encourage them to read the newsletters and the blog. These are the official channels for group emails.  If you have an announcement,  please let Kathy know or write it in the comment section. Do not email more than 3 instructors at a time to eliminate the appearance of spam. Thank you for your help in keeping our communication to instructors warm, personal and non invasive.

Blessings!
