I went to my first Weight Watchers meeting tonight.  Well… not my first WW meeting ever, but my first one in a long time.  And let me tell you I felt renewed.  There’s nothing better than having your very own diet tribe (or health tribe — sounds more permanent), to discuss weight issues.  And I love the energy contained in a room full of motivated people who are serious about their weight loss goals!  They are motivated to get moving…  motivated to be the change they seek.  That is what it is all about!

During tonight’s meeting, we talked about goals; short term and long term.  Everyone had a long term goal of actually getting to their goal weight.   As for the short term goals, one lady mentioned that she wanted to fit in a seat with room to spare all around it.  Simply awesome.  Now how is that for imagery?

My ultimate goal is to get down to a healthy weight and BMI.  But a short term?  Hmmm….

So here and now I am setting my very *first* short term goal.

I want to thrive and survive in PrimalStride’s first seven day challenge.  It is appropriately titled “The 5 at 5 Challenge”.  He has asked all of us who wish to join, to get up at 5am and run, jog, walk, skate or bicycle a 5k.  Check out his blog for more information on the challenge.  Be inspired.  Be motivated to get moving!
