September 26

Just returned from a wonderful vacation in Myrtle Beach last night. Trying hard to get caught up and ready for a new meeting tonight at the Fielder Center.

Here's a cute poem that goes along with our topic for this week.

Pam's Poem

Before you shop,

Please prepare;

Lots of trigger foods

Live there.

Nose alert.

Smell the bread?

Tempting carbs,

Lurk ahead.

Trust yourself,

When alone.

Skip the snack aisle.

Danger Zone.

Check out in

A happy mood.

Stack your cart.

With Filling Food!

How to do it?

Just rehearse.

Save on your points,

And in your purse.

Why Appreciate .2, .4, .6, .8?

Sometimes it is very hard to visualize pounds lost and how much food it would be equal to. Hope this helps you visualize what your weight loss can do for others.

.2 lbs is 3.2 ounces = Ramen Noodles which will feed two people

.4 lbs is 6.4 ounces = a pouch of tuna fish with 3 servings

.6 lbs is 9.6 ounces = a Target Pasta Helper serving 5

.8 lbs is 12.8 ounces = Multigrain Cherrios which has 12 servings

I purposefully did not put a 0 before any of these weights. Mary mentioned in today's meeting that all she ever sees is the 0 in 0.2 and does not think of it as a loss. Let's change our thinking. Any loss is a good loss. Remember to bring in food items equaling your loss for the week. Together we can Lose for Good.

Judy's Jottings September 12

Today all of the Weight Watchers employees in our area will learn about what is new for 2011. It is always exciting to me. Everytime Weight Watchers has made a change over the last 40 years, it has always made the plan easier to follow.

I don't know what I will learn today, but I am exciting about finding out what is in store for us in 2011.
