Weekly Weight Loss Week 27

This week I lost 1.5lbs! Not the 2lbs goal I was aiming for but it's still 1.5lb off!

I think I knew I was going to be 1/2lb off -- every time I have a major goal, I'm 1/2lb off.

What I Did This Week

I tracked. I tracked every little thing that I ate. I usually have a takeaway at the weekend and decide that's my weekly propoints used but I found out this weekend that it isn't the case -- I usually only use half of the points that I think I do!

I have found that I have to eat all my propoints if I want to lose weight. I don't mind since it means that I get to eat everything that I want but my slower weight loss has been because I've been overestimating my points too much!

What Will I Do This Week

This week is going to be a relatively difficult one. It's my sister's 21st and I'm staying at my parents for a couple of days. I don't tend to eat well when I'm at my parents and my sister is having a buffet so I've really got to track everything and really think about the food I eat and the drinks I have.

I am looking after Kathryn the whole time though so I'll have a great excuse of not being able to drink to make sure she's okay. I may even have to leave early because she's too tired to enjoy the night. We'll see...

I'm not going to stop myself from having fun but I really want to lose weight (and I'm 2.5lbs away from my next silver seven) so I'm going to be as good as I can.

How is your weight loss going? I hope it's going as well as mine. If it isn't, feel free to share your annoyance and disappointment.

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...

Why Eating Fruit and Vegetables Isn’t Enough to Lose Weight

Image
I received a message yesterday from someone looking for some weight loss support. She mentioned that she was eating lots of fruit and vegetables but still not losing weight. Okay, well, eating fruit and vegetables isn’t enough to lose weight. Yes, really! While eating fruit and vegetables can help—it certainly gets you your nutrients—it isn’t going to give you everything your body needs. In fact, too many fruit and vegetables can lead to weight gain. And you need to look at all the other stuff you’re eating! Be honest with yourself. So, let’s look at this in stages… Eating too much of a good thing is bad Yes, you really can eat too much of a good thing. Want to know why? Because you run the risk of not getting a balanced diet. While you get your fibre and nutrients from fruit and vegetables, you need to get carbohydrates, protein, and some fats. Yes, your body needs fat! By the way, fruit is full of natural sugar. While it’s not as bad for you as...
