100 Day Challenge Day 22: Another 26 Day



Thursday was another day where I stuck to my 26 daily pro points, and I’m pleased with myself for that. The 100 Day Challenge isn’t easy, but it is making me think twice about what I eat and what I don’t. I just don’t want to go over those points so I really do lose weight.

Yesterday wasn’t very easy with covering two classes, but I made it work. I’ve gotten used to how to make it work. It was my last cover class on a Thursday though for a while, and I am sad about that. I’ve really enjoyed it and meeting the people there. It’s a class that I would love to be my own.

But part of me is happy to get my Thursdays back to myself. Not that next Thursday is going to be any quieter with already lots of things piling up in the day as the first Thursday I’ve had free in a long time!

I’m not sure whether I met any of my FitBit targets yesterday because I was a tube and forgot to put my FitBit on! Oops! I really hate when that happens, but never mind.

Today, I’ve managed to get swimming for 20 minutes at least. It’s better than nothing and I’m looking forward to getting back into more of a routine.

So, I have 19 weekly pro points left for today just in case I go over. I’m not certain what the scales will say tomorrow, though. I don’t feel like I’ve lost weight.

    You are inspiring me to get my own fitness blog going again! I've had a few health and physical challenges that have interfered with keeping a regular exercise routine going, but now that spring is finally really here in Maine, I would like to get back into getting some fresh air and exercising.

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 tod

The Problems with Crash Diets

Many people want to lose weight quickly. While this is possible, it’s not always the healthy option. Crash diets are on the top of people’s lists because they help them shed the pounds in weeks. The problem is they are extremely dangerous to your body; especially if you follow them for the long term. Crash diets can help to kick start weight loss but only when done sensibly. You’ll need to check with your doctor first to make sure you’re following the right plan for your body’s health. Here are a few risks that you’ll be taking if you don’t follow them the healthy way. While you will lose weight quickly with crash diets, you won’t keep the weight off for the long term. These weight loss plans are also known as yo-yo diets because you’ll put the weight back on just as quickly as you lose it. While you’re cutting the calories down, you’re not changing the way you eat for the long term; when you go back to eating normally, you’ll go back to your normal easting pattern. Another probl
