 Hi friends welcome back to my channel and happy Friday early morning It is just about 6 30 and I am at my ww workshop So I'm ready to go in weigh in stay for the meeting today is a very busy day for me I have something kind of exciting going on today and if all goes well I will finally be able to share with you these huge life updates that I want to share So stay tuned cross your fingers that today goes well for me So let's talk a little bit about my last week. So overall. I had a really good week. I did walk three Days there was one day that I didn't walk It was Wednesday because it was raining when I got up in the morning And then it ended up just being a really busy day the rest of the day But I walked Monday Tuesday and yesterday my legs are a bit sore from walking yesterday I hiked up this pretty Long Extensive hill so my legs are a bit sore, but it was a gorgeous morning. The weather in the morning has been awesome It's even been a bit chilly, which is crazy for July here So it's been great as far as exercise goes Of course, I did miss one day that I wanted to walk But I ended up getting almost 10,000 steps that day just doing things around my house I did some shopping around some errands So it ended up being okay, even though I didn't exercise and as far as eating went it went pretty well I did do the Wendy plan again this last week It went well, but I'm gonna say that I'm not feeling confident in my way in I Did weigh myself mid-week and I was actually up like two and a half pounds, which was very random I did have quite a salty meal as you saw in my what I eat on my cheat day video on Saturday, but this was like Wednesday or Tuesday, so I don't know what's going on I'm just not that confident in my way in but maybe I'll be surprised when I step on the scale this morning So speaking of scale, I'm gonna head in for my workshop weigh in and I'll be back to share with you Not only my way in but this week's topic recap Hi guys, welcome back. I just finished my workshop So I want to talk a little bit about the topic that we discussed. It was a great topic It's definitely one that I struggle with and that is Boredom how to conquer boredom and I want to discuss with you guys two different Types or scenarios of boredom that we encounter on our Weight Watchers or a healthy eating journey number one is boredom of the program so what happens when we get bored we get bored with the food that we're eating we get bored with Tracking we get bored with the program in general What can we do to conquer that boredom? So what I would say is number one change up what you're eating We all are a lot of us getting a rut on Weight Watchers or really on whatever eating plan that we're on we we Consistently eat the same thing. We know the points. We know that it tastes good We know that it's going to fit in our points for the day because it's something that we eat all the time So for example, maybe we eat eggs every day for breakfast or maybe every day for a snack We have Greek yogurt and berries change it up a little bit add some new foods Go to the grocery store scan scan and scan until you find some new snacks or some new foods that you can try That will re-energize you and re-excite you about the program by just having new foods and new things that you can try Change up your food. I think that is huge and conquering boredom on the plan and boredom of the foods that you're eating Also, we can get bored tracking Maybe change that up to track on paper for a few days instead of in your app Or maybe pre-track your food first thing in the morning so that you don't have to worry about it throughout the day Not only will it help keep you on track? But you don't have to remember to go back and track every time that you eat a meal unless of course you change up What you had originally planned to eat then of course you would have to go and update that But try changing up your tracking a little bit to make it exciting again Or maybe if you know what you're eating and your food is pretty consistent for the week Maybe don't track for a few days. I know that that is a huge Weight Watchers No, no, but if you're one of those people that eats the same thing every day, you know what the points are So if you're gonna be consistently eating the same food that you know what the points are Maybe skip tracking maybe for a day just to give yourself a break and regenerate that excitement about tracking your food again And I think the third thing with boredom on the plan is boredom in our exercise Again change it up change up your exercise go on a walk outside one day Maybe go to the gym and maybe join a gym or test it out for a few days on one of those free passes And really just change up your exercise not only will that keep you from being bored of your exercise It's also really good for your body to change up the exercises that you're doing Rather than doing the same thing for an extended period of time our body gets used to it It doesn't have the same benefit to our body So there's a lot of ways that you can just simply change up the exercise that you're doing for a few days or a week And see if you can try something new maybe go to a class that you've never went to a Jazzercise class a body pump class maybe try one of those out to see if that re excites you about exercise So I think that we those of us that have been on the program for a while I know there's a lot of people that have been on this program for years I think getting bored is gonna happen You just have to change it up and that's the reoccurring theme here with conquering boredom on the program is change it up Change up your food change up your exercise and change up your tracking And I think that you'll have a whole new program and a whole new excitement for the program Whatever it is that you're following all over again. The other thing with boredom is boredom eating Over here guys this girl. She is a true definition of bored eating I find that when I am working on a computer or watching TV or just relaxing All I want to do a snack and I don't want broccoli like let's be honest. I want chips. I want something sweet I want ice cream. I want things that aren't good for me when I'm bored So what can you do to conquer boredom eating? Number one and the one thing that you can do every time without fail that will conquer Boredom eating is get up and do something whether it's clean your bathroom go on a walk Pet your dog whatever it is just keep your hands your mind and your body busy and you won't want food It works every single time whenever I'm just sitting there watching TV and I want snacks I will change up my show or I will get up and move around during the commercials anything that you can do to take your mind off of food Do it another thing that you can do to conquer boredom eating is go to bed If it's the evening and you're watching TV and all you want to do is snap go to bed You won't have to eat because you're sleeping So that's always a good thing to do if you find yourself wanting to boredom eat at night Also, you can brush your teeth first of all We don't want to re-dirty up our teeth and I people always say well, I can brush them again Yes, my friends you can but we're less likely to eat after we brush our teeth because one We don't want to make our teeth dirty again and two nothing tastes good Nothing tastes good with the residue of toothpaste in your mouth because it's minty it makes everything taste weird So you're not gonna want to eat if you brush your teeth So the common theme with eating when you're bored is get up and do something do something else that either Occupies your mind or your body or both to keep you from eating now If that urge is still there after you've went on a walk or you've gotten up and walked around your house or you've Done a chore then go ahead and eat something Maybe you are really truly hungry, but by taking the time to really think about and my board is that why I'm hungry Okay, let me do something else that will keep me from being bored so that I can really determine if I'm actually Hungry or if I just want to eat because I'm bored if you're still hungry after all of that Then go ahead and have a snack. Just try your absolute best to make it a healthy snack Make sure it's within your points for the day and if you have to splurge Just splurge on a small amount So instead of eating an entire chocolate bar have a piece of a chocolate bar or an entire bag of chips Have a couple of chips just don't overdo it especially at night before you go to bed I find that I don't sleep as well if I go to bed really hungry or if I've eaten a really heavy meal or heavy Dessert I don't sleep as well. So just keep that in mind another thing that works for me Is if I find myself getting hungry in the evenings, which happens a lot, you know after I've eaten dinner after I've eaten Dessert I've had all my points for the day if I find myself getting hungry One thing that I will do several times a week is I'll have a cup of hot tea Not only am I putting something in my stomach? So there's a liquid that I'm putting in my stomach, but it has a flavor So it satisfies those cravings for food because my tea is flavored Make sure it's a non caffeine or a low caffeine tea if you struggle with that before going to bed But I find that having a hot cup of tea at night really not only satisfies my cravings But it also helps me sleep that warmness that you get from a hot cup of tea So there's a lot of things that you can do to to combat boredom eating I think these are just a few I'd love to hear what you guys have in mind of things that you do When you find yourself wanting to eat out of boredom or what do you do when you find yourself bored with the program? So let's get into this week's weigh-in like I said overall on the Wendy plan. I feel like I had a really good week I did exercise three days But I just had that gut feeling that I wasn't gonna lose and it's you can tell we can tell in our body Just the way that we feel not necessarily in our clothes because we're not gaining a substantial amount of weight Or anything where it's gonna affect our clothes But we know our bodies and we know in our gut if we've gained or if we've lost I feel I really believe that we kind of have a general idea before we walk in to weigh in at our workshop So when I got on the scale today actually gained point two now Can I explain why I gained point two? Absolutely not. I have no idea I was within my points. In fact, I didn't even eat all my weeklies because on the Wendy plan I end up having weeklies left over at the end of the week So I couldn't tell you why I gained point two. It could be soreness in my muscles. It could be water retention I mean it is such a small amount. It really could be just about anything But yeah, not happy about gaining point two, but it is what it is. I don't have a reason behind it I can't share with you the logistics behind why I would have gained point two, but it's a new week I am doing the challenge with my Facebook group this week. So if you want to take part It is not too late. All you have to do is join my Facebook group I'll put it here on the screen and at the very top is an announcement post that talks all about the challenge I've given you not only a meal plan for the week I've given you all of the recipes to create those meals for the week So I've done all the work for you and it's a fun challenge We're gonna be giving away a ton of prizes We're gonna be doing drawings throughout the week and we're gonna do a huge giveaway for the person who loses the most on the honor system During my challenge. So definitely check out my Facebook group I have a feeling I'm gonna have a great weigh-in next week because I am going to be doing the challenge right along with all of The rest of you so I'm a little bummed out about the point to gain But it is only point two and really like I said, that is such a small amount It's two ounces it really could be anything as to why I gained point two It's just never fun to see a gain on the scale Especially when it really truly in my opinion is undeserved, but it's a new week It's a challenge week and I'm excited to head into this week full force. I'm gonna work on bored. I'm eating I'm gonna do things different on my plan.
