After our meeting topic about hitting the restart button, when I talked about not hanging out in Beaver when we're on our way to Vegas, Joey from my Tuesday night meeting in Draper typed this up:
You have planned a trip to Las Vegas. You have checked the air pressure in your tires. You have changed the oil in your car. Packed your bags, made your hotel reservations, purchased your show tickets, mapped out your trip and where you are going to stop along the way.
As you get to BEAVER, your car develops engine trouble. What do you do? Do you just say, “To heck with it! Instead of getting the car fixed, I am just going to hang out in BEAVER, UTAH.”
No, you analyze the situation, figure out what went wrong, get the car to a mechanic, get fixed what needs to be fixed, re-focus, hit the restart button, and get back on your trip to Las Vegas.
You Shake it Off and Step UP. You do not let your lapse turn into a collapse!
Weight Watchers has taught us the tools we need to obtain weight loss. Our mechanic is our instructor. Our tools are found in our Weight Watcher’s books. We just need to use them and we will!
Refocus and hit the restart button to make goal!

Shake it Off and Step Up
Sorry this took me so long to get on here! Life is busy! Remember we all have our weight loss challenges... we need to put them behind us where they belong and move forward! In other words... shake it off and step up!
A farmer owned an old mule that fell into a well. After assessing the situation, the farmer reluctantly concluded that neither the mule nor the well was worth saving. Instead, he called his neighbors together and enlisted them to help bury the old mule in the well and put him out of his misery.
Initially the old mule was frantic, but as the dirt kept hitting his back, something happened. It dawned on the mule that every time a shovel load landed on his back, he should SHAKE IT OFF AND STEP UP! This he did, blow after blow. Shake it off and step up . . . shake it off and step up. No matter how painful the blows or how distressing the situation, the old mule fought panic and just kept right on SHAKING IT OFF AND STEPPING UP!
Before long, the old mule, battered and exhausted, stepped triumphantly through the mouth of that well. What seemed like it would bury him, actually helped him . . . all because of how he handled his adversity.
