First Meeting

Hello!

Lately, I have started to go to the gym again!  I am so excited!  I have been trying to go three times a week: Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays! My gym is the best FYI.  I pay $20 a month and it is a gym that has EVERYTHING...INCLUDING a swimming pool! WHAT?!?!  I have to drive 20 minutes to get there now that my Husband and I have gotten our own home in Elk River but, so be it! It's definitely worth the commute!!!!

I am full speed ahead on my weight loss journey.  I have decided to join Weight Watchers and I had my first meeting this morning.  There was a man there, the only man in the room, who inspired me so very much!  He received an award today for losing a percentage of his body weight.  He is down 45 pounds!  What he said resonated within me.

His secret for his weight loss?  "Don't worry about it."

He spoke about how he would weigh himself on Saturdays before the Weight Watchers meeting, but then he found himself also weighing himself at home during the middle of the week.  Then he thought to himself, "what the hell are you doing?  You are driving yourself crazy."  So I stopped!

Far too often we are losing weight and relying on the scale to tell us if we have succeeded or failed that week.  Weight Watchers is not about that.  They are about going beyond the scale.  Focusing on what really matters; your mental and physical health.

I am so excited to see where this takes me!!!!
