100 Day Challenge Day 29: Slightly Over While Watching Election Night

Image
Yesterday was Election Day in the UK. As usual, I stayed up for the exit polls and wanted to see a bit of the Alternate Election Coverage on Channel 4. I love The Last Leg! It wasn’t easy trying to stick within my points on the 100 Day Challenge last night, I’ll be honest. I didn’t quite plan for it. My husband decided to get packets of crisps for us to share, and I hadn’t exactly been an angel throughout the day. I’d left enough pro points for dinner and a small snack afterwards. In the end, I went over by two. So it wasn’t as bad as it could have been, but I should have thought ahead for it. This morning I’ve barely had a chance to eat. I’ve been covering the election for a writing site, and there’s been a lot to talk about. The good news is that being up since 6am means that I’ve already drank two bottles of water and a cup of tea. I’m half way into my 2ltrs. Oh and I drank all 2 yesterday. Today’s plan is to get some more activity in. I didn’t have time with my...

100 Day Challenge Day 27: A Hungry Day but In Control

Image
Tuesday I had a hungry day on the 100 Day Challenge. Sometimes I get them, and constantly want to eat. This isn’t just grab a snack or anything. These are the days where I want small meals constantly throughout the day. It’s something that I really love about Weight Watchers. I don’t need to feel guilty for eating or having a hungry day. I can have them and stay in control the whole time. I know I’d said yesterday that I wanted to stick within my daily pro points, but I was able to make the decision to go into my weekly pro points very slightly again. I finished the day on 32 pro points, so went another six into my weekly pro points allowance. That’s fine. I still have 23 weekly pro points left, and that is plenty for the next three days. Today I do plan on using a few more because it is one of those days—busy and will be eating dinner late so it won’t be the healthiest (but will still be in control). Thursday and Friday are going to be quieter days for me (for once), so I...

100 Day Challenge Days 7 and 8: Hectic Days and Staying Organized

Image
I was really hoping to do an extra update yesterday in the 100 Day Challenge, but it didn’t quite work out. In the end, I was very busy with Weight Watchers classes and by the time I got home at 7pm, I just couldn’t face getting back on the computer. But I did track. And I did make sure I planned ahead for yesterday’s busy schedule. So, I’m doing a double update today. Both days I had daily pro points left over. And I really tried to eat them. Wednesday, I was left with 2 pro points and yesterday I was left with 3 pro points. No I can’t use them up today, despite having a hungry day today! Staying in control with hectic schedules It can be really hard to stay in control when out and about. It would have been so easy for me to not bother planning and eat while out. But that would mean high pointed options and feeling rubbish for the rest of the day. I took some fruit and a couple of Weight Watchers bars with me to have while I was on the road. There was then a...
