100 Day Challenge Day 36: Back to a Good Pro Pointed Day



Yesterday I was very good on the 100 Day Challenge. After a bad day and going way over on Wednesday, I forced myself to stick to my daily pro points allowance on Thursday. With having two classes to cover and lots of work plus Health Visitor appointments in the morning, it wasn’t that hard.

Throughout the day, I made healthy choices and ended up with nine pro points left for dinner. For some that might not seem like enough, but it really was. My husband came home suggesting that we have a stir fry for dinner—just what I was thinking. I’m sure you can guess what the look on my face was like.

We don’t buy stir fry packs from the supermarket. Instead, we use the peeler to get carrot and cucumber strips and then add other vegetables like peppers and onions in. The only thing that we use from the store is the stir fry sauce, but that is a Weight Watchers one that works out at zero pro points when all three of us (my daughter ate it too) eat it. The noodles and the turkey were the only things to count, and came to 9 pro points exactly for the amount that I ate.

One thing that I did forget to count on Wednesday was the two activity pro points I earned from all the walking. Unfortunately, yesterday I didn’t even reach my goal of 4,000 steps. While I was working a lot, during the morning I was sat at the computer a lot. The walking only happened before, during and after the classes.

Today is the last day of the week and needs to be a good day. I’m a little worried about what the scales will say on Saturday but it will only be my own fault after Wednesday on the 100 Day Challenge. At least I know what I’ve done if I do gain weight. I’m hoping the worst it will be is a stay the same, though. I can deal with that.

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
