100 Day Challenge Day 2: Not Eaten All My Pro Points and Weigh In

So, you know how I tell you that you should have all 26 pro points because that is what your body needs? Well it really is true, but in my second day on the 100 Day Challenge, I have to confess that I didn’t. I understand where you come from when you say you can’t either.

Throughout the day, I had a lot of fruit. I was hungry but thought my dinner was going to be high, so I wanted zero pro pointed snacks to keep myself going. I mentioned yesterday that I was going to be having liver for dinner, and that is usually a high pro pointed dinner for me.

In the end, we tried the new Weight Watchers casserole stir in sauce and just made a lamb liver casserole. My husband decided he just wanted that for dinner, because we weren’t really sure how it was going to taste, so didn’t want to waste any potatoes. It was absolutely delicious and my husband had seconds. I just had the one serving and it was only five pro points for the whole thing, because liver actually isn’t that high (it’s the flour that we usually cover ours in that adds the points, along with the potatoes).

I tracked last night and had 11 pro points still left over. I’m sorry, but I just couldn’t eat them. I wasn’t hungry, even for chocolate.

Well, today is a new week, and I’m going to enjoy some of my 49 pro points on something...not sure what yet. It did mean weigh in this morning.

Despite the 100 Day Challenge, I didn’t start tracking properly again until Thursday. So, I had Saturday-Wednesday that I wasn’t too sure about.

I gained 1lb this week.

I’m happy with that. It could have been so much worse! But I’m looking for that pound and hopefully more off next week.

How is your 100 Day Challenge going? Are you still tracking?

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...
