100 Day Challenge Day 40: There Could Be Better Days



Yesterday wasn’t great on the 100 Day Challenge. Yes I tracked everything, which means I completed my personal challenge of the day, but I didn’t make the best choices. During the day wasn’t too bad; the problem came at dinner time.

My husband suggested Chinese and we were going to pick one of the packs up from ASDA instead of ordering takeout. But the ASDA only had the Indian packs in stock, so that led to the only option of getting the takeaway. Well, we could have cooked something but by that point it was getting late and both of us just wanted a Chinese.

Then it came to making poor decisions because of course I wanted sweet and sour pork balls. And they’re so high in pro points. I did just take the pork out of the batter (the batter was too greasy for me) but that wouldn’t completely take the pro points down, especially when the rice and sauce are added in.

That is all my weekly pro points allowance. As I said, my day on the 100 Day Challenge is complete because I did track it all and made sure I had the points. I guess I can’t say that it was a very bad day because I was within my allowance. I *shouldn’t*put on weight this week as long as I now stick to my daily pro points.

Sticking to my dailies will be where the issue is. If I know I have weeklies to spare, I can stick to 26 daily pro points easily. When I know that I’m limited, my body keeps telling me that it wants food. It encourages me to eat more and more. I know it’s all mental, but sometimes it can be really difficult not to listen. Today is the first of four days sticking to 26 daily pro points, with a small number of activity pro points available. I’m not doing too bad, but I’ll share that update tomorrow on my 100 Day Challenge.

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
