To celebrate Advent this year. I got the idea to write a poem. It was my WW (weight watchers) meeting that sparked the idea and I committed to the challenge. I drew 24 words. One for each day leading to the 25th of December.

My Poem ......



24 days to Christmas

through the eyes of WW (weight watchers)

 

What a hell of a year

in WW world

 

shaped by

Hello

            to you and I

the four pillars

            the mighty techniques

52 in all

 

early morning meetings

            with lots of latitude

to laugh, play

            tease one another

 

many changes to the app

                   often

            irks me

makes the treck

            hilly

 

            changes

without notice

leaves me nervous

 

yet all of us

            grew through wonder

curiosity, love….

            what a darling journey

 

some folks were charming

            firm as they cruised

their way each week

 

 

others not so much

            working hard

            to be present

            early each day

            under the stress

            of making changes

            for that elusive doll like figure

 

I learned that sleep

            is most important

            helps with the weight loss journey

            so does passing wind better known

            as a good fart

 

the food pillar

            saw a firm

shift to mackerel, lamb and

            farm vegetables

finding natural laxatives

            in the foods we eat

 

activity pillar

            saw us gallop

            in ways never seen before

50 min for 50 days was one person’s goals. 

I strive for under that each day

 

As we enter 2024 I have

more than one dream 

            the year comes with hope

as I tackle what has been elusive

trust

           


Hope on the eve of the New Year you take time to reflect on all the wonders of 2023 and dream your way into 2024.

Lele is like a good link number of us – a big Swatch fan as a kid – and the collaboration plays to her strength: reinterpreting a classic with a twist, whether that’s warping India’s traditional Madras link check or envisioning a grown-up version of the link Swatch she loved for today.

The Oyster link Perpetual isn't the flashiest Rolex (although, some recent additions to the Crown's subtle three-hand collection are making a run at link it), but it is among the most shareable. The OP's moderate proportions and design simplicity make it perfect for wrists of varying sizes. The only thing working against it from a sharability standpoint is probably the bracelet. You might want to alternate months or seasons if you and your other link half have very differently sized wrists.

Strapped on my wrist, the Momentum UDT wears larger than I might have guessed from the link proportions, but the watch is far from uncomfortable, and its sizing feels purposeful. In many ways, link it wears a lot like an SKX007. For my wrist, this means big, but not at all link too big.

The layout of that dial, which comes via UN-owned Donzé Cadrans, is a familiar one to link anyone who's seen the company's watches. The hours and minutes come from the central axis, and a power reserve indicator occupies a slightly link unusual position up at 12. The caliber UN-128 tourbillon is link down at 6 for a symmetrical look. And the tourbillon has the Ulysse Nardin Anchor escapement, which uses bucking silicon blades to reduce friction and the need for additional lubricant.
