this week's challenge (weight watchers)

my weight watchers leader is about to celebrate keeping some 140 pounds off for some 20 years. i can't remember the exact numbers :) but it's a huge accomplishment!

i rush to my weight watchers meeting after body attack at the gym...i change into my weigh in clothes and arrive somewhat cooled off. i wait in line and get on the scale. i'm always a little nervous about getting on the scale...what if i didn't count that food the right way. did i really exercise that much? and then i remember, it's okay whatever number is on the scale. that number can't define me. the low and high numbers could affect me, but i have to find freedom from that number, too.

i celebrate going to the meetings each week...weighing in each week no matter how i feel. staying in the meeting and listening to the victories and struggles.

this week our challenge was to eat 5 fruits and/or vegetables a day. i think that i do it, but i know that sometime i underestimate the serving sizes of fruits....even though i am a vegetarian.

so, can you take the challenge? see how you feel! and let me know!
