Question of the Day: March 1
As a young and spirited bunny, Judy Hopps (leading lady in the movie Zootopia), has big dreams and aspirations of being the first small mammal (let alone the first bunny!) to be in the Zootopia Police force!
This dream was met with a LOT of push back-- especially from her family.
We all have our own dreams and WISHes for this month inspired by our backstory-- what's your backstory? Tell us about yourself!
What are your dreams/goals for this month?
What push backs and obstacles are in your way this month? What's your plan to overcome them?
Back story..... wowza.... I've told it so many times here.... I keep trying to think of something NEW and fresh! I did a quick search to see if I could find my very first WISH introduction, but the best I did was find one from 9/2009... but clearly that wasn't my first. For some reason the search won't take me back further than that. Oh well.
I lost 86 pounds with WW in 2008/2009 and have maintained that weight loss since then. I won't say that it is a constant "battle" or "struggle" but I certainly must remain vigilant at all times. Sometimes I do GREAT and other times I don't do as well as I know I should.... but I plan to NEVER, EVER, EVER give up. I've been-there, done-that with regards to losing and regaining... and it is too discouraging to live through again! I have a number in my head that is my "pull-your-sh**- together" number.... and if I see that number on the scale (or heaven forbid, a higher number) I KNOW it is time to take stock and make some serious changes. Fortunately I rarely see that number (usually after a vacation). But I think it has helped keep me from letting the weight creep, creep, creep back up.
For a bit about ME (rather than just my weight loss story), I'm a 50+ Mom of two college-age kiddos who are the ABSOLUTE loves of my life!! Married to DH for 25 years this May and we are definitely struggling to find a new life together as "empty nesters" but we will make it through! For those in your 20's, 30's, and 40's, I know that it probably sounds like I'm an "old lady".... but in my mind I am truly still a young woman! That old wrinkled face in the mirror surprises me every day! I'm sad that I didn't get my weight under control while I was still in the "prime" of life so that I had a young face and a healthy slim body.... but I'm content to have one of the two now in my middle-age years! In 2013 I became a Weight Watchers Leader and in 2016 I became a Weight Watchers 24/7 Expert Chat coach. I really like both jobs and find it really rewarding to help people achieve something so important!
Dreams and goals for the month.... I'd love to get back to one pound under my goal weight.... something that I didn't succeed in doing in February. As silly as it sounds, losing just 2-3 pounds now is truly a struggle for me. I think it is a combination of my middle-aged/menopausal metabolism combined with the fact that I am truly firmly within a healthy weight range and the fact that I don't get as much deliberate exercise as I should.
No real obstacles in my way other than MYSELF! ..................P
