Did you make the most of your extra hour on Sunday?
I always enjoy the Fall Back, but never the Spring Forward!!!
With the lighter mornings, come the darker evenings, a sure sign the Holidays are approaching, Halloween is "Done & Dusted", Veterans day is upon us, and around the corner is Thanksgiving. All month we will be helping you plan for the Holidays, so that you can see success each week on your Journey, and we know that success is not just about the weight loss, it is all about the Journey, the choices, the balance and living your healthiest life in the moment.
Last week we addressed "Cravings" and how to overcome those urges when they sneak up on you.
We know riding out a craving is very similar to surfing a wave, some can be really ferocious, some are a gentle roll, either way using the Surf the urge technique can help you with any situation where you want to put space between yourself and the object, food, thought or reaction. I hope you keep that technique and use it often, the more we practice something the easier it becomes.
Last week I shared with you all my personal struggle this year with the scale, and in doing so it gave me a jolt to accept where I am, and come up with a plan of action.
This week has seen a shift in the right direction, and that is so encouraging for me, also an increase in energy, a more positive attitude and awareness again. Seeing my weight progress chart over this past year really does tell a story, so here it is, and I am sure it may look a lot like your own.
I have been reflecting back over the years and recalling moments that worked, I did not eat as much of the foods that what we now know as "Zero Point Foods", so my points were used on meals that had other ingredients, like baked potatoes, WW lasagna recipe, pork, steak and sausage. I know all these now have points, but it's good to swap up the foods a bit, and using more points means I am more thoughtful all day too, after all, Calories in vs Calories out is the formula for weight loss.
This week as we continue to prepare for the Holidays, we know that having a "Scale Action Plan" is a must, otherwise we will bury our heads in the sand, and when we come out, it will not look pretty and that's not what we want, we are all here to have a healthy weight, build a healthy relationship with food and the scale, and also start boosting our confidence.
So this week we will Create a Scale Action Plan, check out the topic on your WW app, under Menu>Discover Content, and come prepared.
Talking of our WW app, have you dug deeper into the "What to Eat" section yet?, this is the 3rd tile on the bottom of your screen, yes it is a chef's hat. Time to dive in, go ahead and select the Eating out tab at the top of the page, and what do you see???
This is truly amazing and never again should we feel out of control when we are not at home, just tap a restaurant, and choose your meal, after all it's your budget.The more we use these tools the easier the program will be.
Be sure to share this week your favorite feature on the "What to Eat" page.
My favorite is the visual list with photos of foods at the restaurants, or cuisine, I am very visual so this helps a great deal, and as you scroll down there are some very handy Points-saving Hacks too.
With all the help, tools and support we have, we really are set up for success, and that starts in our workshops, I hope you will join us this week.
"It does not matter what you did, it matters what you do next."
Much love as always
