I WENT TO A DIFFERENT MEETING THIS MORNING...

I usually go Saturday mornings where my favorite leader, Michelle, is...I just love her. I've formed a really nice relationship w/ her, it's nice to have her there each week (or so).

The girls who work in the front reception area are FABULOUS! Pam, Tammy & Marie. I love each & every one of them. They notice when you've been gone & are so supportive & understanding & are all full of great ideas. Pam lost 190 lbs 5 years or so ago. She's fabulous. Over the last few years I've come to her for little pep talks when I'm really feeling lost. There's just something about her, she changed her life in a really big way & she really "gets it". Not that the others don't, not that Michelle doesn't either, Michelle's just a really busy & really popular leader, so little pep talks are kind of tough to get when you really need one sometimes.

Pam is also a leader. She leads meetings elsewhere & fills in for Michelle every so often. She's a riot! She is so funny & so engaging...I really enjoy it when she substitutes!

I heard her say a few months ago that she leads a meeting in my town (the one I go to on Saturdays is 10 miles or so away), so I asked her when & where. 10am Wednesday mornings.

Now that it's a new year & I'm on a new mission to get real w/ this journey, I decided to double up on meetings, so I went to Pam's meeting this morning. Good meeting. I liked weighing in mid-week. Even though I had weighed in on Saturday, so a full week hadn't passed yet, I have been really good & have even exercised a few times (woo-hoo! LOL!) so I decided to weigh-in.

I lost 1.8 lbs since Saturday! Yes! :o)

I'm going to start posting individual posts w/ just "WEIGH-IN RESULTS" (& my ramblings on about them) & will tag them as such so that it will be easy to click on the tag & find all the results in one place. I need to find a good weight tracker widget for the blog, too, if there is such a thing.

Anyway...I really enjoyed the meeting. Like I said, I liked weighing in mid-week & I might be able to make it more often to a Wednesday morning meeting... Saturdays are tough to do sometimes. So we'll see. I'll continue w/ my Saturday morning meetings when I can...like I said, I love Michelle...she's seen me through almost 5 years of this journey & I've made some really nice connections w/ other members & staff there, so I'm not about to stop going on Saturdays. I think I would really benefit from double meetings...no chance to have a mid-week meltdown. :o)
