What (Gear) Do You Need to Move More?

Did everyone survive Thanksgiving? If you're happy with your weight-related efforts that day, come to a meeting this week to let us know! If you're "feeling a little neutral," come to get a fresh start! (Seeing the trend here? :D) My Thanksgiving was very good, tough again this year but I'm happy to be past the multiple Thanksgiving dinners. I'm weighing in tomorrow, so I will see the results. I did, however, run Thanksgiving Day morning at the Drumstick Dash in Broad Ripple. It was 4.5 miles, and even though I was all alone running in a group, I had a blast jamming to my iPod.

This is the perfect time to review last week's topic, Asking for Help. Are you feeling a little lost or derailed right now? Is there something a friend or family member can do to support you? Could your fellow meetings members help you? Check out your Week Three Think First book for more info!

COOKING UP SUCCESS
This holiday season, WW is cooking up success for are members! We know that it's challenging to Eat Wisely (one part of the Four-Way Approach!) during this season. We also know that Attending Weekly Meetings (yet another part!) is essential to member success.

Each week Nov 30-Jan 3, members will receive an exclusive holiday recipe in their meeting. In addition, each member will have three chances to enter a drawing for a gift basket filled with Land's End WW logo apron, Measurite set, selection of WW Sides, POINTS food scale, and WW cookbook, worth $100 total! Members receive a ticket to enter in the drawing when you: stay for a meeting, bring a friend who joins, purchase $20 in meeting room products. Plus, receive a BONUS ticket if you attend at least five meetings during the promotion period.

This time, the promotion is for At-Work members, in addition to traditional/traveler meetings too!

Whether it's a comfortable pair of walking shoes, an easy-to-follow DVD, a yoga mat, a colorful new T-shirt, or even investing in something larger...discussing exercise equipment will help us think of new ways we can make Moving More a regular part of our lives. If a piece of gear has really helped you, bring it to the meeting this week to share!

Have a great week, everyone! I'll see you at your meeting!

The road to success is dotted with many tempting parking places.
