Had a real difficult time falling asleep last night. Think the combination of excitement, worry, and extra nicotine flowing through the veins didn't help, but I woke up... got ready, slapped the 2nd patch on and went to my first WI in over 2 years.
My meeting location is at the YMCA in Saint Paul. My leader is Donna and her helper is Rita. They both were excited to see a new face. I explained my "wake up call" moment to them. They understood and are truly excited for my journey.
Donna talked about my old WW leader, Julie. She explained that she won't be back due to her shoulder surgery. Which I'm ok with. I think I'm gonna love Donna. My first impression of her is that all I wanted to do was run up and hug her. She's wears a wig and clearly is going through some sort of cancer treatment.
Donna took the time to explain the new Simple Start program, which at this time I'm not going to follow. I'm going to track my points. She also explained a great work out, the hoola hoop and she actually hoola hooped for about 5 minutes while she talked.
I'm clearly one of the youngest in my meeting and I'm ok with that. Not a single person had a "fancy phone" or new how to use it. I'm thoroughly excited to get through this first week and to go back and weigh in next week. I wish it was Saturday already.
I'm a rambler, and I'm sorry if my thoughts are fragmented and sporadic, but I'm high on constant nicotine and can focus on little thoughts at a time. lol
My next step today is to get my grocery shopping done for the next week or so and pray that I don't have to sell my soul to get the stuff I need. Know for sure its going to be a couple different grocery stores that we'll be going to (Aldi's and Target for sure).
Ok - ramble complete, gotta get a nap in before my grocery shopping commences. :)
