100 Day Challenge Days 3 and 4: Tracking Over the Weekend




It was a new start for my weekly pro point allowance this weekend. I love when Saturdays roll around, although we didn’t make the best choice for our high-pointed meal of the week. I only say that because my husband didn’t feel the best the next day. It looks like Dominos Pizza is off the menu from now on.

Saturday I did my usual, healthy choices during the day with a bit of extra chocolate and a high pro pointed dinner. In the end, I finished with only 17 weekly pro points left. But I was happy with that. It’s the usual for us, and I don’t regret it personally.

One thing that I love about Weight Watchers is that there isn’t the need for a “cheat day” as such. I can have a takeaway and still be in my pro points allowance. Next week we’re going to make a better choice for our “pig out night” as it used to be called. There’s a box of recipes that I really want to try and some of them aren’t low pro point friendly, so maybe I’ll try them.

Day five was Sunday and I did behave. The breakfast was slightly higher than it usually is during the week, but that’s another way that I’ve made Weight Watchers work for me. I enjoyed a back and egg sandwich (on a Warburtons thin) and then a yogurt afterwards. We found duck in the freezer, so we ended up making a stir-fry with that to use it up for dinner. It was absolutely delicious and full of vegetables; something we’ll definitely try again.
 
Duck does have extra pro points in, especially with the skin, so I ended up going three pro points into my weeklies. I did do a little over an hour in the gym though, so earned 6 activity pro points.
So, my weekend has now left me with 14 weekly pro points and I still have the six activity.

I’ve not thought about dinner yet tonight, but I am making healthy choices throughout the day. I’ll be trying very hard to make my weeklies last.

How was your weekend? Personally, I’m finding the 100 Day Challenge refreshing and it feels great to get back on track. I can’t wait to see the results next week.

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...
