Good Afternoon Sister W.W.F.F.,
Ruthann, Sally and I have had the most wonderful day. Way too much laughing for any three people. We have walked, walked and did some more walking, but it was all just amazing.
For those of you that have been missing Liz as I have, I wanted to let you know she is fine, still doing Weight Watchers, still has Toni as a leader, BUT, she is going to a different meeting. So Liz, we have missed you, and really glad you let Dana know you were alright.
For anyone that was missing today. Here comes the meeting notes.
How do I stay in "Control" while on vacation?
Vacations are all about stress relief. When we go on vacation there are times we put ourselves under way more stress than we will ever have the time to get relief from. So work on making your vacation one that will be stress free.
Vacations are all about taking care of yourself. Who ever said, "we have to take care and plan for everyone". Time to let go of that and care for ourselves. Let everyone else remember to pack their own underwear.
Vacations days are "Normal" days. If you eat breakfast, dinner & supper, just like you do at home, maybe throw in a few snacks. Eat responsibly, don't just over do it cause there is loads and loads of food there.
Points Clicker. Don't want to track. Get the points clicker, not only is it fun, but fashionable.
Tame the Buffet. Make wise choices here. Fill that plate first with fruits and veggies, then go for the other stuff. Control and Moderation is key here.
Enjoy special foods in moderation. No one said you had to eat celery and carrots sticks while on vacation. If you have a favorite food, or a favorite restaurant, then by all means, have it...go there. Just remember, to be smart. Enjoy the goodies, savor the flavor, don't go through it as if you were a parking lot vacuum cleaner.
Sip Wisely. Drinking is fine, just be sensible. Don't try and out drink everyone at the table, bar or country Enjoy, but as always in MODERATION.
Build in Snacks. There are so many things we can have to snack on, and that will help keep us from overeating at meals. Nuts, fruit, air popped popcorn. You can come up with others as well.
Check out new activities. Trying something new, sightseeing will get you a lot of walking in. If your staying in a motel check first to see if maybe they have a gym. Great way to get a workout in. Make it fun, that is the important thing.
Quote for the week.
Choice Not Change, determines your destiny.
I want to thank everyone again for a wonderful morning today. I knew there would be a great celebrations, but had no idea the extent it would be. I cannot wait until another one of our Sister Weight Watcher Friends Forever makes it to their goal. Look at me...read my lips..it can be done, no matter how much weight you have to lose. Take it one pound at a time.
Much love to all,
Joan 2009 Weight Watchers Lifetime Member.
