I just wasn't overly hungry that day I did a lot of studying and when I'm studying I'm focused on that I'm not thinking about eating food but overall for the week I focused on getting in my calories I felt full. I felt satisfied I went to Jazzercise twice and I also took a walk outside in my backyard with the dogs But I took a good 20 minute walk around the perimeter of my yard and around our basketball court So that I could get in that extra bit of movement as part of my challenge in my Facebook group So overall I feel like I had a stellar week I wouldn't change anything besides the stress and busyness of my week this last week But before I jump into my way in I want to share with you guys about this week's WW workshop topic And that is your healthy meals deserve a little bit more fanfare. Why should fancy dinners get all of the attention? Why can't we have fancy home-cooked dinners that make us enjoy our meal feel a little bit fancy and special? We can set the scene at home to still have a special occasion Some ideas to make our meals at home feel special and feel like we're dining out at an exclusive restaurant is Setting the table for that special occasion break out the nice dishes light some candle use cloth Napkins and set Alexa to play some calming soothing music Sit down at the table with your loved ones and enjoy a fancy dinner out at home Another way to do this is to really savor your special occasion meal at home Make sure you're not distracted turn off the TV put your phone away Engage in conversation with your loved ones and just enjoy every bite of that meal at home You can even take it over the top a little bit and create your own paper menu Allow your family and your loved ones to order off of that menu for that week's meals Maybe you want an exclusive pasta dish or a fish dish on the menu Let your family members order off of the menu just like you were at that fancy restaurant When we're eating out and when we're really feeling a special meal It's because of the environment the presentation and just being pampered a little bit by being served that meal when eating healthy at home Starts to feel boring There are lots of things that you can do to spice up your meals at home and these tips from WWW are great great Suggestions treat your at-home meals just like you would treat a meal out and enjoy them Savor them have them be free of distractions set up the ambiance for that meal to feel like you're at a fancy restaurant At home not only are you going to feel like you had a beautiful meal You're also going to be saving quite a lot of money by recreating these fancy meals at home I find that I don't get bored of my meals necessarily But I find that I'm just eating my meals on paper plates or not my best dishes And it's always nice to just break out the nice dishes light a candle and have a fancy meal at your own kitchen table So let me know down in the comments how you feel about being bored of your food at home And if you think that you'll incorporate some of these tips and tricks to judge up your boring at-home meals Now I want to share with you guys this week's weigh-in like I said I had a really good week I wouldn't change anything as far as my food and my activity went so when I stepped on the scale I am down point eight so that means that I have lost every week in the month of July Even with the added stress and the added busyness and eating the most calories that I have eaten so far on my weight loss journey I am still Consistently seeing the scale move in the right direction. I am still tracking calories I am still tracking points and as always calories are at the top and points are secondary to that It's very important to me to eat as much as I can and still lose weight And like I said right now I'm eating the most calories. I've ever eaten and I'm still losing weight So that in my opinion is a huge huge success. So now I want to hear from you. Let me know down in the comments How was your week?
