100 Day Challenge Day 6: Slightly Over but Still in Control




I’m updating a day later than expected. Yesterday ended up being a day away from the computer the whole time, but that doesn’t mean I got off track! No, I’m still on track to complete the 100 Day Challenge.

Day 6 was Tuesday and I did go slightly over my daily pro points. This is what the weekly pro points is for. I ended the day on 27 out of 26, so I wasn’t even that bad! The extra points came from a packet of crisps my husband opened. I already knew the pro points for them and decided that the extra from my weekly was well worth it.

That takes me to 13 weekly pro points left and two days left until the new weeklies come into play. I’m trying to save them for Friday night. The hubby is away and the plan is to tuck into a Chinese takeaway since I don’t feel like cooking just for me. We’ll see if that actually works out, though. I might decide to cook in the end just to save on the pro points.

I didn’t earn any activity pro points on Tuesday, unfortunately. I didn’t even get my Fitbit targets, because it was just one of those days. As a Weight Watchers Leader, I still struggle at times. I know exactly what you’re all going through when it comes to weight loss (and sometimes gains).

The good news is that I’m still in control and happily plodding along with the 100 Day Challenge. I’ll update yesterday’s a little later today. I’m super busy today, though, covering three classes. My lunch is already planned and I’m taking fruit with me to snack on.

Staying on track while out on the go

As I said, Tuesday was one of those days and today I’m going to have to stay on track while on the go. That’s not going to be that difficult thanks to the Weight Watchers app. I always have my phone, so I always have the app.

It’s one of those things that I really do rave about to my members. Once I got a smartphone, the app became my best friend. I don’t even know how I managed to track without it! I remember the days of tracking everything online, but this has definitely made it a ton easier. If you’re doing Weight Watchers, I really do recommend it.

Until later today...

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

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
