| These are BRAVO stars and other awards I received for those times when I "mounted up with wings like eagles" and rose to the occasion and soared!!! June 22, 2001 - My leader asked "Who loves to keep your journal?" I can honestly say that I do love keeping my journal. It is a written record of my commitment to staying on program (OP) and my commitment to doing it right!! ONE BRAVO STAR! June 29, 2001 - A guest lecturer asked, "What is something NEW that you tried this week?" I tried moving during my lunch hours rather that sitting at the office yacking with friends and eating my lunch. After only TWO weeks OP, I've noticed an increase in my energy level.....so, I'm moving more. However, my knees and feet are still fussing a bit about the load they are still carrying.....BUT, that will get better!!!! TWO BRAVO STARS!! July 6, 2001 - "My" lecturer is back and it is good to see her!! I got another star this week because I brought a friend with me who joined!! I LIKE getting stars! THREE BRAVO STARS!!! August 31, 2001 - Well, it's been a long time coming and today I got 5 more bravo stars!!!! I actually gained 2.2 pounds this week.....HOWEVER, I wore a shirt that was 3 sizes smaller than the one I wore the day I joined; I wore a pair of pants that were 2 sizes smaller than the ones I wore the day I joined; I can remove my seat belt extender in my car; and I have lowered the steering wheel and tilted the seat up straighter and my stomach doesn't rub against the steering wheel!!!!! AND, I have FOUR friends who have joined WW in these last couple of months due to my success and encouragement!!! These are all GOOD THINGS!!!! I LIKE getting stars!! FIVE MORE BRAVO STARS FOR A TOTAL OF EIGHT BRAVO STARS!!!!!!!! September 14, 2001 - My leader gave those of us who were there today BRAVO stars. Due to the events of September 11, 2001, we stayed focused and kept out commitment to attend class. NINE BRAVO STARS!!! September 28, 2001 - Today I reached a MAJOR milestone --- I got my 10% keychain!!! That was emotional and exciting!! I still have a long way to go, but friends, I'm on my way!!! I got a BRAVO star today also, "just because." TEN BRAVO STARS!!! October 19, 2001 - I "gave" another member a BRAVO star today for sticking with WW longer than she has even "stuck" in the previous times she has joined. She is one of my co-workers and is doing fabulous!!!! My leader gave me one as well for recognizing that my friend deserved a BRAVO star. ELEVEN BRAVO STARS!! November 23, 2001 - We had a guest leader today. I missed MY leader, but she was taking a well-deserved day with her family/friends. The guest leader gave those of us who stayed for class stars since we were there the day after Thanksgiving!! TWELVE BRAVO STARS!!! December 7, 2001 - My leader gave me a BRAVO star today for what I am GOING to do this coming week--focusing, journaling, "pointing", watering!. I have gained each of the last three weeks and she presented me with this star telling me that she believed in me and knew that I could do it!!! THIRTEEN BRAVO STARS!!! December 28, 2001 - My leader gave ALL of us BRAVO stars if we lost weight during this past week. I was SHOCKED!!! I lost 3.8 pounds. Not sure how!! Just thanking Father for His blessings and getting back to the basics of WW this week!!!! FOURTEEN BRAVO STARS!!! February 22, 2002 - WELLLLLLL, I've been piddling around with staying OP for a long time now. Been "relaxing" the program since late August.....been pretty much OFF PROGRAM since Thanksgiving. Last week, as I was leaving class, my leader said that she wanted to see my journal next week. YIKES!!!! I go through this week knowing that she is going to look at my journal. Something "clicked" for me and I had a FABULOUS OP WEEK!!!!! I lost 5.2 pounds. My leader gave me a BRAVO star!!!! FIFTEEN BRAVO STARS!!! June 7, 2002 - It's been a LONG time since I've gotten a star. I haven't deserved any because I haven't been following program. Today during our class the topic of journaling came up and I stated that I wasn't journaling and hadn't been journaling for quite some time. My leader gave me a star for my honesty and said that she KNEW I was going to journal this coming week. SIXTEEN BRAVO STARS! (But, this one wasn't as much fun to get as the others were......I WILL NOT GIVE UP!!!) |
