So let's jump in to weigh-in workshop topic recap and how my week went All right, we're getting up close and personal for this section of this weigh-in video you guys I Haven't been struggling. I haven't been unmotivated But I've been Kind of over it if that makes any sense. I have been dieting for the majority of my life I've been tracking my food for the majority of my life whether that's in WW app or in a calorie counting app I've literally been dieting for a lot of my life and for some reason the last week or two I've just been really over it. I have not been consistently tracking my food. I've been eating good I've been making sure that I'm eating a lot of protein and that I'm making good food choices But honestly, I haven't been tracking It's hit and miss for me and really at this point with the bathroom remodel the holidays coming I am so busy in my life that right now. I just don't want to track. I want to continue to eat healthy I know what I should be eating. I know my portion sizes, but I'm just not really interested in tracking So I have decided that through the end of the year. I am not going to track my food I'm going to mindfully eat. I'm going to make good food choices I'm going to have a holiday on one day Thanksgiving and one day Christmas and that's it I'm going to do my best to eat right, but I just need a break with everything going on in the holidays I just need a break from tracking So that's my plan and with not tracking of course I'd like to lose weight over the next month and a half But my goal through the end of 2020 is to maintain my weight No, I have not lost 50 pounds total in the year of 2020, but I've lost 50 pounds total overall Which was a huge milestone for me once I hit that goal is kind of when this epiphany started And I decided that through the holidays I'm just going to not track and I'm going to focus on Maintaining if I can pull out a few losses Fantastic, but I just need a break and this seems to be the perfect time and then when the new year starts I will be having some amazing things happening on my Facebook groups and challenges for the new year I will get right back to tracking honestly Consistently and really making 2021 a stellar year I'm continuing to work out at least three times a week if that has not changed and like I said, I've been eating good I just don't want to track. So if you're with me, leave that down in the comments What's your thoughts on moving forward with the holiday season? So I'm going to continue to do weigh-in videos. I'm going to continue to tell you what my weigh-ins are I'm shooting again for a maintain if I lose fantastic I certainly don't want to gain But that's my plan moving forward. So let's get that out of the way first and foremost in this video So with that, I saw it a good week. I worked out. I ate what I should eat Do I know if I stayed within my points or calories? No, but I know that I made good food choices I'm choosing high protein items. I have not indulged. I have not been overeating So I feel really good about that So I'm actually filming this video on Wednesday the day before Thanksgiving and you will see this video Of course on Friday. I'm going to enjoy my Thanksgiving. So I certainly didn't want to weigh-in right after that So I'm weighing in a little bit early this week. I weighed in last Friday and now it's Wednesday So it's only been about five days. So before I tell you how my weigh-in went Let's talk about this week's workshop topic. We are still in the fan favorites of workshop topics So this one is why the good in life matters and I really like this topic It kind of goes hand-in-hand with my epiphany and not wanting to track over the holidays I just want to enjoy the holidays. I want to feel a little less stressed every day I want one thing off my to-do list every day taken off because like I said, I'm incredibly busy And I just want to enjoy the good and the fun of the holiday season It can be easy to focus on everything that's going wrong. I mean we're in 2020 So pretty much everything has went wrong But what if we shifted our focus to what's going well? Even if it's the small stuff that's happening in our life What if we just focused on that the fact that we just celebrated Thanksgiving with our family and we're moving into a lot of people Including myself favorite time of the year Christmas Eve Christmas shopping giving back supporting small businesses What if we focused on that instead of maybe the things 2020 that didn't go right for us And the more we intentionally pause and focus on what's going well for us The more likely that's going to become a habit the negative self-talk will go away and we'll focus on what's positive So we have three tips for you today on how to focus on the good tip number one Focus on three good things that happen today And don't tell me that three good things didn't happen for you because there are three good things that happen for us every single day Maybe you heard your favorite song on the radio Maybe you dug out your Christmas decorations in preparation to put those up today or over this weekend Maybe you got some good news at work focus on three positive things that happen today big or small Tip number two write down those three things in detail. What was the song that you heard on the radio? What specifically was the good news that you got at work today? What decoration did you pull out that just made your heart happy? Write those down because those will be things that you can anchor on and focus on when the negative starts to kick in And tip number three is how did you feel when those good things happen? Like I said when you pull those decorations out to just make your heart happy How did you feel when the good things that happen today came into your life? That way when again you start to feel those negative energy of those negative thoughts come in You can reminisce and focus on these good things. These tips are extremely easy, but extremely beneficial It's really important for us to have positive self-talk to focus on good things Especially in times like this 2020 the holidays the busyness that happens with all of that Plus you're trying to live your regular normal life when it isn't 2020 and the holidays aren't here So focusing on the good that happens every day is so incredibly important. I am definitely going to do this I am definitely going to write three things down every single day in my planner that happened good for me And whenever I'm feeling a little down and out I'll look back at all those great things and it'll again just make me happy Make me feel positive and again focus on the good things. So let's get into this week's weigh-in like I said I didn't track all week. I did do Jazzercise three days Including a power session on Thursday an hour and a half session I wanted to die But I figured that it would be great going into the Thanksgiving holiday to have a little extra Movement activity and calorie burn under my belt. So all in all my week went well It's just been really really busy and I just like I said was struggling with wanting to diet for the next six weeks or so But after five days when I stepped on the scale today, I am down point two. So I actually lost Point two without tracking and I'll tell you that I don't recommend not tracking So please don't think that I am promoting the fact that you don't track your food But I do think that taking a diet break is beneficial Especially in times like this where you don't want to focus on dieting You want to focus on enjoying your friends and family in the holidays I also believe that because I've upped my calories over the last few months that my body has adjusted So I can eat a little bit more and still lose weight or maintain my weight Which is exactly what I'm shooting for over the next six weeks. So that was my week. That was my way in I'm absolutely thrilled that I still was able to lose weight over the last five days And we shall see how the next six weeks play out for me I feel like I've developed some really good habits And I'm going to see if those habits actually lead me to the goals that I want over the holidays So again, I want to hear how you guys are doing. Please leave that down in the comments I love hearing from you guys and let me know what you think about taking a diet break Or if you're with me on just being kind of burnt out on dieting for 2020 I'm looking forward to picking things up in the new year I seriously have so much exciting things coming out You definitely want to be subscribed You definitely want to be part of my Facebook group because there are so many great things coming out in 2021 So thank you guys again so much for hanging out with me today Make sure you give this video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it Don't forget about the Black Friday specials on my nutrition coaching website You don't want to miss out on those And also check out that description box for links and discounts to my favorite things And don't forget about heading over and joining us on Facebook You're not going to want to miss what I have in store for you for 2021 I love you guys so much I hope you had a fantastic Thanksgiving And I'll see you in my next video Bye
