Greetings everyone and Happy Monday
As I look out the window right now, I see the grey clouds, the soft drizzle of rain, and it feels a lot like "FALL".
We are finally getting a break from the sun and the heat, even though I do love the sun and being outdoors during the summer, but there is a slight anticipation that we will soon have sweater weather here in San Diego, and I am really looking forward to some snuggles again.
Last week I had my share of sun on our vacation, I loved relaxing around the pool, reading my books, and just resting my body & mind for the week, and giving myself a much needed recharge, it's amazing when we are still and relaxed how our thoughts change.
My thoughts were drifting to the Holidays, and a startling reality that as of today we have only 8 days until Halloween, 31 days until Thanksgiving and 63 days until Christmas day.
Knowing the holidays are coming helps me plan ahead, I could bury my head in the sand but that will not help me on my journey and keep me on track, this year we will be in the UK with Family with different weather, environments, and of course foods, so checking in with my eating patterns and intentions will be essential for me so I don't over do it.
This preparation has already started for us all with the weekly topics WW has given us for this month. They have designed these to help us pause and see where we are at, notice our habits and also identify what works for us.
Last week we talked about eating for strength, adding more protein and calcium based foods, as these will make us stronger.
This week we will be digging into our 'Eating Patterns".
There are no “right” or “wrong” patterns of eating.
Eating patterns are highly individual - there is no right or wrong, just what works for you and what you can stick to.
A sustainable pattern of eating is not “perfect.”
A sustainable pattern of eating allows you to include the foods that matter the most to you and on WW, all foods are on the menu. Being on the WW program helps nudge us all towards a healthier pattern of eating.
While away last week, I really paid attention to my eating routine, as I felt I was getting a bit too regimented and found myself eating more in quantity too, regardless if I was hungry or not, and this really helped me to not overindulge, and to review my habits while in an all-inclusive resort.
Now that I am home and getting back into a routine, it is helping me tweak some areas to have a better eating pattern, which also includes better for me content too, including what I am eating and when, and planning ahead to try new recipes and meal ideas, thanks to the newly updated "What to Eat" section on out WW app. If you have not seen it yet, do check it out, tap on the Chefs hat icon at the bottom of your screen, and enjoy.
Yesterday I made a Sheet-pan veggie frittata for our breakfasts and today I am making a Cream of Mushroom soup, and I have a few new recipes lined up for the rest of the week.
Share your recipes and meal ideas with us all on our Connect groups or my facebook group, link below.
I do hope you will join us this week, it's so important with the Holidays so close, to be consistent in attending.
Also remember to RSVP too, this is more than just a commitment to attend, it adds your profile to our attendee list so it's easier to check you in and also in the case of an emergency and we need to contact you, we can, if you don't RSVP we have no way of knowing how to contact you now as we have no access to your contact information to let you know.
Attendance is also being monitored to see if it's viable to add more workshops, so if our attendance drops, our chances of adding more workshops also drops. And like you I am really advocating for more workshops for you all 💗
Can't wait to catch up with everyone this week.
Much love as always
