Our new leader was asking for extra helpers the other day, so I went to class half an hour early tonight and offered to pitch in.
How completely girly and silly of me to have thoroughly enjoyed myself with it, but I REALLY had a blast and got inordinately excited about the prospect of doing the "shop". It felt just like being a big kid again and playing at "shop" when I was little - but with real money and lovely WW goodies of course!
The evening just FLEW by and I really enjoyed taking the money and working out the totals and giving the change etc! I just KNOW I would just LOVE to work in a shop. How fab at the end of the class, when the till balanced and the leader then said I was able to weigh in for free - EVEN IF I HAD GONE ABOVE MY 5lbs LEEWAY FOR GOAL!!! How fab is that? I didn't realise but apparently it's one of the perks of the job that you go to class FOR FREE!
In addition, there's a tiny pot of money to be shared out between the helpers. I'm not sure how it works out but it amounts to a couple of pounds - (to go towards a box of lovely RICH TOFFEE BARS - if I'd wanted!). It was a good job I hadn't taken any money with me, as I was sat in the middle of all the goodies all evening and hadn't eaten since lunch. I really fancied a whole box of the things by the end.
Anyway, I got to play shop and have fun all evening and I would certainly recommend it as a laugh for anyone who likes that sort of thing! You have to be willing to arrive a bit early and leave a bit after everyone else, but it was lovely to feel part of the team and the leader and her other over-worked helpers were REALLY grateful!
The BEST news of all was that on the WW scales, my HUGE weekend gain of 5lbs has all but been conquered (by dint of serious dieting since I got back) and I'm only a pound more than I weighed last Thursday before I went away! Hooray!
