Ok ladies, now it is time to begin to think about what do you want out of this. We have now begun this community of women who want to get healthy, be fit, eat better and overall feel good. So what is your goal? What is it you are trying to obtain?
At one of my WW meetings they talked about setting out an outfit, pair of pants, bathing suit, etc. in your room. Something you want to wear again. Leave it out so you can constantly be reminded of your goal. A big part of weight loss is visualizing how you want to see yourself.
Fo me, my goal is to be as healthy as I can. I want to be in a normal weight range where my BMI is considered "normal". I want be able to go to the doctor without hearing about how I should lose some weight. I want to be active. This Summer I want to go run around the park with my girls, go swimming, bike rides, etc. I want to have the energy to do all of these things with them.
So what do you want to achieve?

National Strawberry Day
Today, February 27th, is National Strawberry Day. A cup of strawberries contains 136% of the vitamin C your body needs in a day. WOW!
I just ate my pound of strawberries, have you had yours today?
