Okay, they say three strikes and you're out. I'm not sure I'll give up at three but this is my third round in trying to keep this blog going for you and for me!!

First off, this Friday, May 3, Florine Mark will be at the Deer Creek Center at 23 mile and Schoehnerr leading a meeting. It will be lots of fun and very motivating so, if you can get there...do it:)

Secondly. I wanted to start writing to you about my new friend, AL.  No,  AL is not a new guy in my life, AL stands for the Weight Watcher Tool Active Link.....a very small clip on (or wear around your neck) monitor which tells you how much you move every day, helps you to set goals, gives you a challenge and much more. First off...I do want to tell you that in order for AL to work, you must have WW etools and since all of you are members, you know how to access that, right?  If you have questions, send them to me or else ask a staff member at your next meeting. Okay, back to AL :) Also, AL can be purchased in the WW mtg. room for only $39.95 ! !

I really thought I had it all before purchasing AL. I had just purchased a heart rate monitor (which was about 4 times as expensive) and it currently is sitting gathering dust :(  I decided to get AL a few months after it came out and i want to tell you, I'm not only enjoying it, it measure ALL my movement throughout my day (not just my steps forward).  It is just the best.

So, if you want to hear more about AL, who is very close to my heart (literally:) know that I'll be writing more about him, so come on back.

In the meantime, it's raining outside...that doesn't mean you're excused from activity today.  How about getting out those old exercise DVD's, or run up and down the stairs or wash some windows  (from the inside). Remember, moving is essential and only you can make it fun.

Take care....keep moving and check back soon for some new recipes, articles and more....

See you at the  meeting:)
