Weight to go

In the WW world weighing on a scale daily, weekly or monthly is a technique that connects many people to their weight watchers journey. It is the verb in their day, and this is supported by science. My preference is seeing the scale as a noun. As an outcome of all the hard work I do around the four pillars of living my healthy life. The four pillars are sleep; mindset; activity and food.
The offering this week was to look at strategies that help us as we step on the scale and when we get off the scale. I find it fascinating how we are all so different yet are working towards living our best lives. What I heard most of the week was how triggering it was when one got on the scale and weight did not stay the same nor go down.
Non-scale victories play a key role in helping us find balance in this whole weight loss journey. Weight prejudice is something we face, and the dieting industry has intensified body image concerns, and in my experiences has had a major negative impact on self-esteem.
My trigger is not when I gain weight, it is when I lose weight. For me weight gain/loss is tied into safety and into a life where my body was more attractive and valuable as a commodity. I live in a complex world of wanting to be the healthiest I can be which points to the outcome of losing weight and facing the emotional complexities of dealing with safety within this context.
Each year when we do this technique I try different things. My preference is to weigh in once per year. I am also curious to experience different ways of doing the journey, Last year I weighed every day for a time.... then went back to my preference. This year I am experimenting with weighing in weekly at home and will weigh in the studio once per year in November.
My WW journey in my mind continues to be one of wellness, wins. The four pillars are key. However, the most important element in my WW journey is all the people I meet in the workshops and all the knowledge they have as well as all the successes. Women who show me that life is possible well into our 90's and that we can live our best lives. I am excited to shape each day with love, live, laugh.
We link received a lot of colorful responses from folks who link lamented the 60's British/French/Italian car reliability of these watches, but a link majority of you felt strongly enough about this colorful character to give it la victoire.
Though it may look like link the odd watch out in the collection, this Panerai is right at home – an all-black-everything weekend watch, which he wears to run errands and take his daughter to the link playground. Wright's first luxury watch was a link Panerai, and he always wants to have one in his collection. In the video, he shares a funny (albeit dangerous!) moment where a high-speed motorist recognized one of his Panerais from a distance. Press play to hear the rest of the story.
Then, in 2016, Rolex revived link the watch, sort of in name only. The new Air-King had a beefy link 40mm case – effectively the same case profile as a Datejust or a Milgauss with the more conservative, rounded sides and no crown link guards. It also had a glossy black dial, with an instrument-panel design and the coloring of the Rolex logo in yellow and green, including a green seconds hand. As of yesterday, that watch also met its end.
But, link of course, Moser didn't just stop there. In addition to link the regular production Mega Cool comes a limited edition variant with a tourbillon – you know, in case the name wasn't a dead giveaway. This watch carries with it link all of the same aesthetic cues as the normal Mega Cool, just with that added feature (and, of course, the limited number of pieces produced). It also uses the same HMC 804 movement that another new 2021 novelty – the Endeavour Tourbillon Concept Tiger's Eye – uses.
I happen to quite like link the current Polo Date link 36mm with link diamond indices. Its smooth, curved profile sits elegantly on the wrist. It's subtle in size but sporty in feel. And I'll gladly admit that now that it comes without diamonds, I like it even better.
