Roundup, week of May 29th

What Happened Last Week?

Exercise is a well-known recipe for good health. But sometimes we still find reasons not to do it. If you contemplate how good it feels after, does that help you take the first step? Remember, activities you enjoy are your best bet. But just getting up out of the chair is important. The less you sit, the better off you'll be!

We awarded first five pound stars to Kim, Taryn and Alicia, and gave a 10 pound star to Laurie. David reached 30 pounds lost, and Mark hit the 50 pound mark. Kim hit her 5% target, and Melissa received the 16 week Stay and Succeed award. Georgetta, Robin and Maria all received a 5K charm for their participation in the Walk-It Day 5K this weekend!

Speaking of the Walk-It Day 5K...

Mark your calendars for Monday at 8am! Yes, this Monday, Memorial Day, we will meet at De Anza Cove down at Mission Bay at 8:00 in the morning. Show up and you'll be able to start your day with a walk along with some other Weight Watchers members. This will qualify you to receive a 5K charm! You can walk as slow or as fast as you like. You're also not obligated to walk 5K - you could go more OR less. This is an informal gathering, so you're welcome to walk as you please. Bring guests, that's OK too.

So What's Coming Up?

MONDAY - remember that your meetings will be closed. You can join me on Sunday in El Cajon if you like (11am weigh-in and 11:30 meeting), or you can find another meeting during the week. If neither of those options works and you can't attend a meeting, that's OK too. We don't hold it against you when WE close for the holiday.

For those of you who WILL be at this week's meeting (and hopefully that is all of you!) we'll be talking about the people who make our journeys that much easier. Be thinking about your support network and who it is that lends you a helping hand. If you don't come up with many, don't forget our meeting rooms are here to support you!
