100 Day Challenge Day 43: Eating Everything In Sight



I really don’t know what is wrong with me at the moment. I’m trying to stick to the 100 Day Challenge, but it’s not easy when I’m so hungry. And this isn’t just wanting to snack on something. I want real meals, like tuna pasta and egg sandwiches. The good thing is the food that I really want to eat is all filling and healthy, which will be good when I start the filling and healthy days next week.
I’m actually trialling the filling and healthy days from today since I’ve only got one day left until I get a new set of weeklies. I can manage it, I know I can.

Yesterday, though, I completely blew all my pro points. I tracked everything and saw the horrible minus figures on my app. It’s something I really hate, and usually when I stop tracking but I needed to see the damage. Of course, it didn’t stop me from eating. I just tried to make good choices, which weren’t that hard because it was the “good” stuff I was craving.

I’m not holding out much hope for Saturday morning. I’m going to weigh and just draw a line under it. The important thing is knowing the damage, then I can reverse it next week.

My mum is coming to visit on Saturday, so that should help keep the weekend eating down to a minimum. My husband is also working on Sunday, which will mean fewer temptations to get out of the house and eat treats and snacks.

I hope your 100 Day Challenge is going better than mine. At this rate, I’ll be nowhere near my goal weight in time for the end of the challenge.

    Dieting is so hard! You can't be too tough on yourself. A 100 day challenge is going to bring some failures, for sure. Just keep your focus on the long term goal. Good luck!

    Thanks, Bryon. You're right that it's hard. The annoying thing is I'm a couple of pounds over the weight that I was last year when I reached my goal. I'd really like to get back down to it and that's the main focus right now. The actual challenge is just to track because I thought that might help...and while this week has been a whole list of failures, at least I've tracked it all.

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
