Spent a good couple of hours in the WW Selden Center this evening, covering for a leader who recently had surgery. This is the fourth week I've subbed for him and he hopes to be back in action by the start of next month.He's got some great folks in those two Monday groups, so I enjoy meeting up with them and tonight we spent a bit of time chatting about the challenges of Easter Sunday.
Planning is the key to not getting derailed over the coming weekend. Here are a few tips -
1. If you're going to someone's home, offer to bring an appetizer - vegetable or fruit platter - and suggest you contribute a dessert too - from your favorite WW cookbook of course. That way you'll know there's something there for you.
2. At a buffet, observe the one plate rule and take half a plate of tossed salad before you look at the other eats.
3. Have a good look at the buffet first and see what you really want to select.
4. Move away from the table!
5. Don't starve yourself all day before the big meal.
6. Make sure you dispose of leftovers. If you've had what you want, despite what your mother told you, it's not a sin to throw the rest away.
Plan, prepare and stay focused!
