Weight Watchers

Today I reached my 10% goal at Weight Watchers! In 11 weeks I lost 10% of my weight!

Here are the keys to my success:

• Go to Weight Watchers with a Buddy.
• Go to a meeting every week and mentally challenge yourself to loose weight.
• Eat less FAT!!
• Write everything down. If it goes in your mouth, then write it down! Learn the Weight Watcher's Point system, and stick with it.
• Eat Healthy snacks! I enjoy Frosted Mini-Wheats as a snack. Mini-Pretzels are great too!
• Goto a Weight Watcher's meeting with a great team leader and an interactive group.
• Drink lots of water!
• Eat more Fruit and Vegetables.

Visiting Boston

Don't forget to bring a rock with you to Walden Pond. Here's why: The actual site of the cabin is marked with granite pillars. Nearby, is the stone cairn first started by Rollins to mark the spot of his discovery. It has become a tradition for visitors to add a rock to the pile. If you ever decide to visit Thoreau's cabin site, be sure to bring your own rock.

Also, if you plan on going on the Duck Tour of Boston, be sure to book it in advance as they do sell out! http://www.bostonducktours.com/

Patriots Day

Happy Patriots day!

While many runners in the Boston Marathon were struggling with the near 80's temp, visitors to Concord, Bedford and Lexington were enjoying the nice weather watching the various Patriots day parades and activities.

Traffic around the Boston area was pretty light this morning, since many schools are closed this week and some business closed because of the local holiday. My commute was interrupted by some boy scouts marching from Stow to Concord to reenact the minuteman walk.

Today is the 9th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, however most media outlets are focusing their coverage on tomorrow's 5th anniversary of the Columbine incident.
