Decision

I made a decision today to go off the plan. I'm doing a 5 week stint with Weight Watchers...starting the first week of January.

The price is good and my company will give me a 50% rebate if I attend 4 of the 5 meetings. In addition, I feel like I need some kind of structure to get the eating right.

Maybe it's part of growing up - accepting that sometimes doing the ish you need, but don't want, to do will help you get to where you want to be.

I'm going in with a positive attitude - this is as much an exercise of the mind as it is about losing weight. And I like to exercise (no joke, seriously I do...I just don't do it enough). So this is one step towards getting myself to the place where I can do the running and capoeira and soccer (and all sorts of other athletic stuff yet to discover)that I like to do.

Who knows? This may be really fun.

I hope it goes well for you. Everyone I know who's done Weight Watchers has enjoyed it, and I'm sure that you will as well :) And capoeira! I love capoeira! I wish I could do it. It's so fancy! :D

What is capoeira?

I'm sorry you're still sick! Bummer.

Take care of your body and then give Weight Watchers all you've got! You can do it! How do you like your new hometown?

Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art/dance. It's a fighting style that was disguised by the slaves as a dance. At least that's how I think it went. It's very hypnotic when watching the, I think they're called, rondos. Do a search on youtube and you'll be sure to find some capoeira.
