After 9 weeks our three-week-remodel is complete. All meetings will be at our original location at the Keysone Plaza in Blue Ash, OH!

This week members attending the Blue Ash, OH Weight Watchers Store were informed that meetings beginning 11/27/2011 would be at the Wingate Hotel. Due to delays with the remodel we will not be moving to the temporary location and all meetings this week 11/27/2011 through 12/03/2011 will be held at the Store location 9693 KENWOOD RD., CINCINNATI , OH 45242.

I have finally gotten the mailing lists fixed and have added a list to send out updates concern our store remodel and is available on the page bar.

P.S. Please tell anyone you may know that attends about this important development.

This past week we talked about grocery shopping. Here is an interesting article from Dr. Oz:

Eating healthy and losing weight doesn’t mean spending extra time in specialty grocery stores or extra money on organic, local items. Dr. Oz and...

Next Week: Getting Re-Started

See you at your meeting.

This week we talked about how to "Get Unstuck". Your weekly does a great job of helping you zero in on what behaviors you may have slacked off on for what I am sure we all want to be for only a short time so review, review, review.

I remember when I fell into the "ok" place. It turned out it was mostly because I hadn't been allowing myself to have foods I liked. Long before I joined Weight Watchers, I lived across the street from Dunkin Donuts. At the time the only danger I saw in that was running across 4 lanes of traffic to get there. It was in the middle of the block. With time and repetition of course the habit of coffee and donuts was born. Gratefully enough time has passed that that habit is gone. In the interim however I did have a run in with a box of 24. Being overly restrictive and the habit of labeling food as "on" or "off" program was one of my personal demons and greatest triumphs in a long a worthwhile journey. In the end it will all be worth it!

Did you try a meatless meal option this week? Even if you are a confirmed carnivore or burgeoning herbivore the health and weight-loss benefits are many. Share your favorites at a meeting this week.

My favorite meatless meal this week was whole-wheat pasta spirals with tomato sauce and diced olive oil sauteed yellow squash with onion, garlic and white wine vinegar and fresh parmesan on top. Thanks for the gift of your home-grown produce Lorayne! Lorayne attends in Batesville, Indiana.

Here is the link for the Meatless Monday website I mentioned too! They have some tasty sounding recipes but you'll need to calculate the PointsPlus values yourself. You can also read about the eco-benefits too.

Next week we are all about Getting Unstuck!
