100 Day Challenge Day 16: Life Loves to Throw Curveballs and Difficult Situations



Friday started off as a great day on the 100 Day Challenge. It was all planned out and was going as expected.

Then my husband got home!

It’s not that he’s a saboteur when it comes to weight loss. In fact, he’s been one of my biggest supporters but there are times that he doesn’t think before he gets something. Last night it was a packet of crisps (a big one) and a portion of chip shop chips.

I’m not really sure which one was worse.

Both of them meant that I blew my dailies, weeklies and activity pro points allowances. Completely blew them and ended up in minus figures.

But I still stepped onto the scales this morning. I was happy to find that I’d lost half a pound. I’ll definitely take that after last week. I’m guessing the good from the week before caught up to me and helped to balance it out.

This week I promise to be good. Very good.

It’s a new start for my weekly pro points and I will be getting to the gym tomorrow. That’s a top priority for me this week.

After I weighed myself, I had a Weight Watchers class to cover. It was different to normal, but turned out to be a really good and very busy class. Next week should be my last week of cover. I’m saying this every week at the moment, but it should be. While I love my job, I will be looking forward to getting back into my old routine. It will mean very little work to do on a Saturday.

How was your Friday on the 100 Day Challenge? I hope it was better than mine! One thing I can say is that at least I tracked and I know the damage.

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...

If you’re hosting a Halloween party this year, the idea of weight loss during this time can be daunting.

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...
