Highlights from this week's meeting: "What (Gear) Do You Need to Move More?"
What a fun meeting we had this week! Thank you so much for all your great comments and for your help in making our discussion so meaningful, so thought-provoking, and FUN. I’ve been thinking a lot this week about just how powerful our thoughts are, and how they have a great impact on how we conduct our lives. I don’t know about you, but I definitely prefer the thought: “I want to find time to play,” versus “I have to figure out how I’m going to make time for my work out.” One is such a positive, happy thought (WOW, I can take a break from my stressful life and do something good for my mind and body), while the other feels like a burden (Just one more “work” obligation to add to my otherwise busy life).
I hope that you’ve been able to find time to PLAY this week. I did, and it felt GREAT. I had the best time (seriously) walking on my treadmill this morning while I finished watching Season One of “Lipstick Jungle” on www.hulu.com. Isn’t the Internet fantastic? I got so caught up in watching the show that I completely lost track of time and, before I knew it, I’d walked 75 minutes—and I truly enjoyed every minute (perfect “play” time). Have you given any thought to how you might make your "play" time more enjoyable? Perhaps it would help to if you were to purchase some new “toys” (exercise equipment) so that you could have more fun with your “play” (exercise). For example, a new pair of walking shoes, a new pedometer, a jump rope, hand weights, an exercise ball, a thigh master (you’re smiling, I know), a new “play” DVD, music CD, etc., might help you enjoy your play time more. What “gear” do you need to help YOU move more? I’m looking forward to hearing how you fit PLAY time in this week.
Next week's meeting topic:
I sent you an e-mail message a few days ago letting you know that you’ll soon be learning about Weight Watchers’ latest (and greatest) new program. The new program is being shared with members the week of December 7-13. If you’re unable to attend our meeting on Tuesday, I hope you’ll be able to get into a meeting another day/time (you won't want to miss getting this information as soon as possible).
AWARDS!
Tuesday night was a family celebration for Joe and Lauren (father and daughter). I’ve witnessed it over and over again that when friends and family members work together to accomplish something important and meaningful, there’s no more powerful support, and success is inevitable. Joe and Lauren both earned their 10% awards. In addition, Joe earned his 25 lbs. lost award (sorry for the delay in getting that to you, Joe)! Congratulations to both of you—and thank you so much for your comments. Those of us who attended our meeting will have a new appreciation for 59 minutes versus 63 minutes of activity (aka play)! I’m sure I’m not the only one who thought (several times this week) about the GREAT advice both Lauren and Joe shared. Also, congratulations to each of you who earned your first—or additional—5 lb. stars. You're doing fantastic!
Motivational Thought:
People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily.
For those of you who may have temporarily lost your motivation, I'm excited for you to have a chance to find it again--and I'm confident that you'll find it at our meeting this week! I am really looking forward to telling you all about the exciting new program changes! You're going to LOVE the new program. The program just keeps getting better and better (just like YOU).
Take care, my wonderful friends,
Debra
