100 Day Challenge Days 38 and 39: Getting Back on Track After a Bad Week



The weekend has been about getting back on track after a bad week on the 100 Day Challenge. While I tracked everything, I went over by Friday night and that led to my weight gain on Saturday morning. It was my own fault, and as I already said on Saturday I take full responsibility.

Getting back on track wasn’t too difficult. Once my mind is set on something, I can usually do it unless something breaks my control.

Sunday it would have been easy to blow it all. I was grumpy and my husband decided he wanted us all to go for a walk—and our two-year-old doesn’t really like walking for long and tends to stand and glare at us if we don’t pick her up. Not that she gets to come up...eventually, she decides to start walking again but it makes the walk take (what seems like) forever. Needless to say with the rubbish weather, I wasn’t a happy bunny by the end of it.

But I was a good bunny. We had the whole day planned out and I stuck to my daily and weekly pro points allowances. I did go further into my weeklies this weekend compared to last weekend, but I also earned more activity so it was worth it.

In the end, I have 23 weekly pro points left and earned seven while walking around on Sunday. I’m happy with that and there are more activity pro points to be earned during the week.

I am back on track, and that’s the way it will stay for the foreseeable on the 100 Day Challenge. I’m determined.

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
