2nd blog and a cool story

Exciting news, I have started a SECOND BLOG!!! Who would have thought? Roni's Weight Watchen site has created a huge WW blog site called " Blog to Lose". I am able to connect to more people, as well as post my recipe documents for all to view. I will still blog on my blogger site as well- they will go hand and hand. Be sure to check them both out daily for updates. I hope to journal more and more each day as ideas, thoughts and recipes reviews to to mind. Feel free to leave comments on the blogs if you'd like.

Wanted to tell everyone a funny story about food shopping last night ( will blog about this too). So I went food shopping last night around 915pm- my usually Monday night shopping after my WW meeting/dinner. So I stocked up on the WW yogurts and other low-fat items they had on sale ( WW Candy is 1.86 a bag and the coupon at the meeting has a BOGO- can't beat it!!!). When I was in line, the woman at the check out asked if I was on WW- I guess from the food I was purchasing (healthy food rocks!!!!). And I told her I was. She asked if I've had any success on the program. I told her " Well, I have, I've lost 56 lbs since September". I thought her eyes were going to fall out of her head. She asked a whole bunch of questions about the program so I put my a little promotional hat on and went on and on how the program works and how it just teaches you to live healthy and make the right choices. She told me she is on Nutra-System a nd has to cook meals for her family and then eats hers out of a box- who wants to live that way?? . I went on to say though she is working portion control, it won't give her the tools and guidelines needed for when she's out in the real world, having to eat real food. We chatted a bit longer ( she totally messed up on my coupon in the meant time, ha ha) and finally she told me- she's going to finish out the meals she bought and sign up for WW. HOW COOL IS THAT?? Such an unlikely place I thought I would be promoting WW and getting someone to join. It was an awesome feeling. She works nights and I told her there are morning and afternoon meetings. I had an extra tracker in my purse and gave it to her to keep. You just never know when an opportunity may come around to spread the news on how the WW program is working for you!!!

Oh, the new WW magazine came out this week - head to the store to get your copy. I signed up for a 3 year membership about 2 years ago. I love the magazine. Only comes out 6 times a year but I get so excited when I receive it in the mail. I like to keep all the copies and then read last years for the month we are in now. Another thing, sign up for the WW e-mails from their site. Tons of great articles, tips, stories and recipes are sent in their e-mails. The Sign Up section is on the right hand side of the WW main page.
