Week 19 - Preview - Metabolism - What can you do about yours?
Ok gang - It's Week 6 of the Spring Fever Challenge!!! How many are with me?!! Prizes are accumulating. I'm ready to figure out your challenge points and give out the kudos.
Remember you need to turn in your challenge sheets on June 1st or June 2nd. The prize drawings will be June 8th and June 9th.
Good luck. No matter how you did, if you participated...you are already a winner...way to go!

What is Metabolism?
Metabolism is the number of calories the body burns at rest, by digesting and absorbing food, and during physical activity.
Yes, no matter how old you are, you can change up your metabolism.
How do we do that??? We increase our physical activity - especially strength and resistance training. Eat a well balanced diet and continue to intensify your exercise routine; whether extending the length time or the intensity of the workout. Check out your week 2 and week 9 books, for some great ideas on how to boost your time and intensity to burn more calories.
Remember, the body is not selective when you lose your weight. You need to exercise to build lean muscle; that is the active tissue that burns calories.
How is the training going on the Walk It Challenge? Who is taking advantage of that? Have you signed up for the free training? Have you participated or researched local options?

Week 18 - Roundup - Focusing on the positives
As you can see, this blog post is coming to you on a Thursday, not a Sunday. It's been a heck of a week. I could have thrown my hands up in the air and said, "Forget it. They won't be worried about this week's news...", but my inner self said, "No, Paula, you need to do this. Get this done. It not only helps the members, but it helps you - stay on track, stay in focus with the meeting topics and concerns of the members."
That is a perfect example of FOCUSING ON THE POSITIVES.
When you hit a "wall" remember it's not real. Push through it and move on to the sunshine.
Turn those negatives into positives.

Week 18 - Preview - Focusing On The Positives
Members who believe that they can lose weight, will lose weight because our actions are a direct result of our thoughts.
Since we are not always aware of our negative thinking, this week we are going to help members acknowledge their negative thoughts and translate them into self supportive ones!
Think about what happens to your motivation when you engage in negative thinking. Think about how this thinking effects your weight loss effort.
We will be talking about managing those thoughts and strategies for your success!
How are you doing with the Walk It Challenge? Have you signed up online for a 5k? Are you taking advantage of the free training? Have you checked on local resources?
Our Monday Night member Chantal has a web page for Weight Watchers that want to get together and walk. Please check out the Links to the right of the page for BellinghamWWWalkers. To get into the site you must use the following password - walkforaps.

SFC Week 4 - Trivia Question
Below is a scan of Why Walk? ( you may click on the image to enlarge it)
The third statement listed is YOUR question for this week. The answer will be posted on the board at your meeting. Good Luck! :)
Week 17 - Preview - Truths And Myths About Carbs
Much is misunderstood about carbohydrates.
We often think about bread and pasta, instead of also including: fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
Many of us think about carbohydrates as "Red Light" foods: cakes, cookies, chips. These all are highly-processed carbohydrates.
Complex carbohydrates are whole grains and filling foods that help us maintain control and stay satisfied longer.
How are doing with the Walk It Challenge that Weight Watchers is offering. Let me know about any questions you have including issues with signing up online. There have been updates created on the site to make it easier.
Don't forget the other options of exercise. We have local outlets like trails and parks, also gyms that include human beings ready to take your questions and give you guidance along the way. Please ask me about those options. I know of some great deals being offered to Weight Watcher Members. You can check my previous posts - free trail maps, links at the side of the blog and the WW punch card at Butterfly for women.
