This week's WW meeting was AWESOME. I went feeling really discouraged and fat and just yucky and frusterated with how slowly I've been losing weight. Then the meeting just really picked me up and helped me to re-focus.
The leader gave a little example of how a tiny bit of effort can make a big difference. She said:
At 211 degrees, water is hot. At 212 degrees, it boils. And with boiling water comes steam. And steam can power a locomotive. One extra degree makes all the difference." You can view this quote in its entirety here (and I really recommend you check it out). She then talked about how that is like weight loss and asked us if we were putting in the extra degree of effort or if we were cooling off. And MAN, I realized I had been cooling off. I was trying pretty hard, but not that one extra little bit hard. And thats the part that will make a big difference.
We also talked a bit about remembering to set reachable goals with rewards as well for yourself. So, my goal is to be 177 at next week's meeting. If I do it, I will actually allow myself to have a DQ treat that evening (I know this is not really a proper WW reward, but it works.)
This week, I will have 25 extra points and I will shoot for 7 APs (one per day). In addition, I'd like to try to reach the goal of 5 servings of fruits or veggies daily.
This week, its time to turn up the heat.

You can do it Colleen. I'm trying to eat more fruits too, (dont like veggies so much, but trying that too) You're gonna be sizzling hot in no time. :o)
You are awesome Colleen and will totally get to where you want to be. I admire you. This post was really encouraging to me. I'm frustrated with the stupid 10 lbs that doesn't seem to want to come off and when I get frustrated I like to eat bad things. So you are so right about the degrees thing, I like that. Every little bit helps.
Love ya!
That's a great video! I love the quote "you are responsible for your results". Very true, but I often try to shift the blame somewhere else. That and "perseverance....is many short races, one after the other". Great stuff! You can do it!
