100 Day Challenge Day 67: Almost on Track Yesterday!



I was almost completely on track yesterday. I’ve not had many bad days while doing the 100 Day Challenge, just a few slips here and there. Yesterday started off great until I failed to keep most food down. It’s so difficult to do anything when you’re struggling for energy because of lack of food and drink!

Everything that was tracked didn’t likely stay in my system. It was only by dinner time that I was well enough to eat normally, and then I stuck to small amounts just in case. I did make sure I drank as much water as possible though to remain hydrated, although that was a struggle.

Sometimes my body does this to me. I expect it now and then, but it usually happens on a Sunday—almost like my body knows that that is my day off. Even after a holiday, it looks like my body has told me that I’ve been doing too much. I couldn’t just take the day off though, and forced myself to work until everything was all done. Luckily, with it being the first day back after a break it wasn’t that packed. I was able to curl up on the couch and watch some TV and read my book in the end.

Today looks to be a better day on the 100 Day Challenge. Touch wood it stays that way!

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...

Why Eating Fruit and Vegetables Isn’t Enough to Lose Weight

Image
I received a message yesterday from someone looking for some weight loss support. She mentioned that she was eating lots of fruit and vegetables but still not losing weight. Okay, well, eating fruit and vegetables isn’t enough to lose weight. Yes, really! While eating fruit and vegetables can help—it certainly gets you your nutrients—it isn’t going to give you everything your body needs. In fact, too many fruit and vegetables can lead to weight gain. And you need to look at all the other stuff you’re eating! Be honest with yourself. So, let’s look at this in stages… Eating too much of a good thing is bad Yes, you really can eat too much of a good thing. Want to know why? Because you run the risk of not getting a balanced diet. While you get your fibre and nutrients from fruit and vegetables, you need to get carbohydrates, protein, and some fats. Yes, your body needs fat! By the way, fruit is full of natural sugar. While it’s not as bad for you as...
