The world steps aside to let any man pass if he knows
where he is going. David S. Jordan
Well
yesterday was a long day, up at 4am, out at 6am and home at 8.30pm WOW now
wonder I’ve just slept so well. It was
lovely to see so many ladies even if only briefly, and always great to get to
spend the day with your bestie ;-)
Watching
ladies go up for their 10, 15 and 20 year long service awards was just
fantastic, I worked out I’ll be 44 or 45 when I get my 10 year, then 60 should I
make the 20 year on!
I was
sitting on my chair with my shoes kicked off watching all the lovely ladies go
up onto the stage, listening to what their members had said about them, unfortunately
I kept missing a lot of what was said because I was by the door and it would
appear that a lot of Weight Watcher leaders need Tena ladies from the amount of
trips to the toilets that were made throughout the day, and unfortunately a lot
of them didn’t know how to catch a door before it went SLAM! So all I heard was my name (I missed the
wonderful words that were said by my member, hopefully I will be able to find
out what they were from my ASM or RM this week), I wasn’t expecting to hear my
name so picked up my high heels in my hand and ran down to the stage to be presented
with my diamond leader award, that makes me a triple diamond leader as it was
my third! I did get the photographer to
wait whilst I put my heels back on for the photo ;-)
I’m
stunned I really didn’t expect it! My
priority in the work I do is to help my members lose weight and feel great, to make
them realise they are already gorgeous and that they want to lose weight to
take care of themselves because they are amazing. And I have so many wonderful members that you
all make that a really enjoyable job for me, so thank you all. To actually get an award for that is a bonus,
to be acknowledged for doing something I’m absolutely passionate about is
simply a lovely feeling. Of course
helping me provide the service we do is down to the fact I have the BEST
helpers in the world, without my team I couldn’t do any of it and I mean that
from the bottom of my heart, these ladies are just brilliant. I lose one of them at the end of this year,
Kath from my Bloxwich meeting has helped me since I took over that meeting 8
years ago, she’s been a clerk there long before I arrived and I will miss her very
much, she’s like family! So a BIG CUDDLY
LOVELY HUG TO ALL OF YOU! You’ll
recognise me this week – I’ll be the one with the even bigger smile than usual!
And to
make the day even better, my bestie Lynne got her diamond leader award too, as
did Elle who was my member before becoming a leader and actually still is so I
was rather proud. I was also very
pleased for a leader on another area ‘Cayla’ who was disappointed that she didn’t
get it last time. Honestly though there
are so many passionate leaders out there, we’re all very different with
different qualities and personalities and we all want to help, which makes us
all precious gems. x
So that
pretty much consumed yesterday, foodwise I wasn’t ridiculously bad, I had a
slice of fruit cake at 7am on the coach, I resisted the chocolates, the Danish pastries
and the juice and opted for water. For
lunch I did indulge in the starter, a nice spoonful of coleslaw (I really must
make my own version, it was shredded extremely thin and delicious), I also had
cold pasta salad with Mediterranean veg and sultanas (I will definitely be
attempting this dish nom nom). By the
time we got to the main course it had all gone!
There were carrots and peas left and some very unappetising looking
salmon, so one of the waiters went and got us some spinach tortellini and I ate
a bit of that with 2 bread rolls! No
pudding was had though, and then I didn’t eat again until I was home when I had
a fried egg toastie mmmmmm! Oh yes I did
I had a bag of Weight Watchers crisps on the coach and very nice they were too,
sour cream I think.
Back in
control of my food and on track this morning, I’ve already got a bottle of
water by the side of my desk to encourage me to drink regularly and I plan to
move my fruit bowl to the kitchen because I go in there more throughout the day
than I do the living room, I might even do a smaller bowl in my office!
Mushrooms
on toast for breakfast, or a mushroom omelette, I’ll decide in an hour when I’m
a little more awake.
Monday
morning everyone – let’s get on it! Get to your goal and help make me worthy of this certificate xx
