100 Day Challenge Day 44: Somehow the Scales Were Good



I’m not sure how I managed it but I lost a pound this week. Yes, really! I was as surprised as most of you will be reading this.

It wasn’t an easy week on the 100 Day Challenge. Within two days of the week starting, I’d completely blown all my allowance. I then felt really hungry and had to stick to the filling and healthy foods. Maybe yesterday’s trial of a filling and healthy day helped. I certainly felt fuller throughout the day, and it felt good not to have to feel bad about snacking.

Luckily, the filling and healthy food list is all food that I really love. It’s things like fish, chicken and vegetables. I’m allowed my seafood sticks and brown pasta and rice. Eggs are also allowed, which was great when I really craved a egg butty yesterday for breakfast.

The only downside is that Weetabix isn’t on the filling and healthy list. That’s my favorite cereal. Also, my yogurts aren’t, but I can deal with that when they’re only 2 pro points. It’s worth spending my weekly allowance on them.

My plan for this week is another week on filling and healthy in the most part. My mum is coming to visit today, so that’s going to make it a little harder but my husband has already pulled out the pork to have a roast dinner tonight rather than tomorrow. My husband is also away on Sunday and my mum goes back home then, so I’ll have a bit more control as I usually do during the week.

How is your 100 Day Challenge going? I hope you’ve had a good week at the scales.

    On Weight Watchers maintenance, I had a couple of not so good days - stress eating, my big challenge, conquered me. And there was the breakfast meeting at work with the breakfast pizza. Very little willpower. But next week is another week.

    Congrats on your weight loss - every pound counts! Since I'm currently recuperating from surgery, I'm dependent on my hubby to prepare meals, so I'm not going to be too fussy if he wants to do something quick and easy, instead of time-consuming, like I would normally do if I had use of both hands.

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
