100 Day Challenge Day 15: The Weeklies Are Gone!



Yesterday wasn’t an easy day on the 100 Day Challenge. Tracking wise it was good, but making good decisions wasn’t easy. By the end of the day, I’d finished all my weekly pro points, so I have none left for tonight. I do, however, have five activity pro points if I really want them.

There was a lot of chocolate and crisps yesterday as I ate on the go. Despite it not being as busy as last Thursday, I just wasn’t as well planned and just had a bad day overall mood wise. I knew I had the points and made sure I was still within my allowance before I gave in. Unfortunately for me my favorite chocolate is one of the worst when it comes to pro points allowance.

Dinner wasn’t as low in pro points as I expected it to be either. We opted against the salad and had fajita wraps instead. I love them, I really do, but they aren’t as good in pro points as a plain old salad. Again, I knew the pro points going in and made sure I had the allowance before I enjoyed them.

Where have these activity pro points come from? Well, Wednesday it turns out that I earned two pro points from all the walking around that I did. I did over 6,000 steps, which doesn’t sound like a lot but is for me. Yesterday I earned another two, mainly from the decision to walk to nursery to pick my daughter up, rather than taking the car. The class finished a little earlier than normal, which meant I got home between the classes sooner.

Today I am making better decisions. I was going to walk my daughter to nursery again, but had tantrums throughout the morning so the car it had to be. I am planning on walking to pick her up, though. The sun is out and it’s only right to enjoy it while I can.

I’m not sure how much I’m looking forward to weigh in tomorrow though, now. I didn’t manage to get to the gym today, either, because of paperwork, so I’m a little lethargic and haven’t got as many activity pro points as I’d like. I’m only sitting on five right now whereas this time last week I was up to 11. But there’s nothing I can do to change the week that’s past. I can just keep going with my 100 Day Challenge.

How are you doing with your journey and your challenge? Feel free to share your 100 Day Challenge blog posts because I’d love to read them.

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...
