100 Day Challenge Days 47 and 48: Filling and Healthy Is Going Well



I’m really enjoying the filling and healthy approach on Weight Watchers. It’s been something I’ve been talking to some of my members about, and I know how much they enjoy it to.

The benefit is guilt-free eating. As long as it’s labelled filling and healthy from a Weight Watchers view, there’s no pointing or tracking. I am still cautious about the amount I eat, because I don’t always have that “full and satisfied” filter, but I don’t worry as much. I actually find that I’m not as worried about eating under my pro points allowance.

I like to eat a lot of fruit, and the last few days that’s what I’ve mainly been focusing on. In fact yesterday I ate almost a whole melon. I really wanted it and it is filling and healthy. You know what? I really enjoyed it! I’ve barely gone into the small amount of weekly pro points I have left because there’s been no need.

I will be doing a pointing day today because I was eating out for lunch and tomorrow I’ll have to do a pointing day because of the evening meal, but I’m going to focus on filling and healthy choices when I can.

Blogging wise I keep dropping behind. It’s not because I’m not doing the 100 Day Challenge. It’s simply because I have a lot on and sometimes I barely get the time to blog. I’ll keep updating, though and I am continuing with the challenge.

    I've never done weight watchers but I love that idea of foods that are filling and healthy and therefore guilt-free. Going on a diet is awesome because it pushes us outside of our comfort zone and we end up discovering foods we love that we may never have tried before. I recently got a spiralizer to turn vegetables into noodles. I am eating a lot less pasta and loving it. All the best with your healthy eating goals!

    Eating fruit is so fulfilling. I look forward to prunes and a slice of pineapple and no, in summer, a nectarine every morning.

    Filling and healthy choices are always a good idea. The best idea.

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
