100 Day Challenge Day 35: Almost Way Overboard on Pro Points

I’m going to admit that yesterday I didn’t track properly. I’ve done it now—I’d taken photos of things to remind me—but it meant I didn’t make many great choices. I also went way overboard and am only just within my weekly pro points allowance.

Yesterday was very busy. I didn’t sit down once, and felt it in my feet by the end of the day. It’s not an excuse, but a reason why I took photos instead of opening my Weight Watchers app. Photos are just quicker at times, and at least I remembered everything. I have to admit though that I’m not looking forward to the scales on Saturday.

We all have these days and have to work around them. My 100 Day Challenge was to track religiously every day. It would have been so easy to just skip the day and pretend it didn’t happen, but I’d only end up cheating myself. There would be high chances that I’d end up eating the weekly pro points allowance again without realizing, because I wouldn’t realize that I only have 6 pro points left.
I’m proud of myself for sitting down right now and including everything in.

Today is another day of covering classes, and should hopefully be my last for a while. I’ve been good so far, but do only have 9 daily pro points left for the night. It’s going to be something with turkey, which is generally quite low. I’m thinking either a stir fry or fajitas, but we’ll see what the hubby fancies.

Until tomorrow...

The Problems with Crash Diets

Many people want to lose weight quickly. While this is possible, it’s not always the healthy option. Crash diets are on the top of people’s lists because they help them shed the pounds in weeks. The problem is they are extremely dangerous to your body; especially if you follow them for the long term. Crash diets can help to kick start weight loss but only when done sensibly. You’ll need to check with your doctor first to make sure you’re following the right plan for your body’s health. Here are a few risks that you’ll be taking if you don’t follow them the healthy way. While you will lose weight quickly with crash diets, you won’t keep the weight off for the long term. These weight loss plans are also known as yo-yo diets because you’ll put the weight back on just as quickly as you lose it. While you’re cutting the calories down, you’re not changing the way you eat for the long term; when you go back to eating normally, you’ll go back to your normal easting pattern. Another probl

100 Day Challenge Day 28: Staying In Control on a Busy Day

Image
I mentioned yesterday on the 100 Day Challenge that Wednesday was going to be busy. I expected to eat the majority of my weekly pro points that I had left. In the end, I only went into a small amount of them. The whole way I did that was by staying in control and making good choices . That’s an important part of losing weight. Yes, I could have stuffed my face with chocolate because there were periods when I really wanted to, but I didn’t. I didn’t deprive myself either. When I wanted chocolate, I told myself that I would get it later (knowing that I’d have some later anyway).  It doesn’t have to be boring making good choices. Rather than having a bit of chocolate at the end of the night, I shared a punnet of strawberries with my husband and daughter. They gave me the sweet kick that I needed to finish off the day. They were juicier and more delicious than a bar of chocolate, too. While doing all that, I’m also drinking more water. I’ve even decided to start my day tod
