So let's jump into my week the Weight Watchers workshop topic and this week's weigh-in Happy black Friday. I hope you had an amazing amazing a Thanksgiving If you overindulged on Thanksgiving if you enjoyed all the Thanksgiving food good for you Give yourself some grace and start over today. It's okay to enjoy a holiday. It's a holiday Not a haul a month. So make sure that you enjoy Thanksgiving and you get right back on track today I know that's exactly what my plan is. I had a really really good week I had a busy week just gearing up for Thanksgiving I actually did a 5k a turkey trot with my boot camp yesterday for Thanksgiving That was just a really good way to start out the day I got a 5k in got in about 8,000 steps moved my body and geared up for all the delicious Thanksgiving food We had Thanksgiving at our home with my in-laws. We kept it pretty simple We had ham mashed potatoes stuffing my mother-in-law made two amazing pies and an amazing amazing salad And we just played left-right center, which is a dice game with quarters so much fun We just had a very relaxing family-filled just really special Thanksgiving. I did not track my food yesterday I ate kind of whatever I wanted to eat yesterday. I just really enjoyed the holiday. Of course I was mindful of portions I made sure that I loaded my plate up with ham for all of the protein and just small amounts of everything else Everything was so Delicious and I feel like overall I did really good still enjoying everything on Thanksgiving just not overindulging I sent the pies home with my mother-in-law all the other leftovers are here. We ate all the salad But the mashed potatoes gravy ham and stuffing is all here I'm going to leave Troy to his own devices with those because that is his favorite thing He's very much a meat and potato kind of guy and stuffing is his favorite part of Thanksgiving So he will definitely finish off the leftovers. So it's pretty easy for me to get back to normal Send the desserts home with people if you don't want them in your home I just made sure my mother-in-law took them home My father-in-law loves his sweets kind of like me. So I know that he'll finish up those pies. No problem I did get in all of my workouts this week. I was at boot camp. I did the 5k yesterday for Thanksgiving We didn't have boot camp this morning She figured nobody would show up the day after Thanksgiving and she's probably right So instead I went ahead and went to the gym today walked to the gym Lifted weights for an hour and walked home had just about a two hour workout today And it felt really good post the Thanksgiving holiday One of my big tips for you is just get back to normal when the holiday because it's a holiday Is over just get right back to normal. You're not going to gain weight because you have Thanksgiving dinner It's what you do leading up to Thanksgiving and after Thanksgiving that can cause the scale to move in the wrong direction It's not just one day of enjoying it with your family and enjoying all of those special Thanksgiving foods Speaking of Thanksgiving and holidays Let me know down below if you want me to do a video for you on some of my tips and tricks to navigate the Holidays and not gain weight and kind of what my plan is for the holidays Let me know down below if you'd be interested in that video. So overall I had a great week. I was right back on track I enjoyed the Thanksgiving holiday. I moved my body drank my water Focused on my whole real food have been really enjoying my new fitness routine and my new way of eating with my coach If you have no clue what i'm talking about last sunday I released a video with a huge update about my channel weight watchers life in general And my dexa body scan results. I'll link that video down below if you missed it I'm going to be talking a lot about the components of that video moving forward And you're going to see those changes on my channel. So make sure you catch up with that video So you kind of know what's going on here on my channel before we jump in to the weight watchers workshop topic Which by the way is perfect for the holidays because the holidays are really really busy and insane We need a little bit of self-care in our life. I know for me I love self-care in general, but I really focus on self-care during the holidays And there's a product that I purchased before I took my trip to texas in november I took this with me on my trip to texas and i've been loving it And I have to share it with you guys because it's on an amazing sale for the black friday holiday And that is this portable water pick or what's called an oral irrigator from cleviso now I have several cleviso products I have a lot of their facial devices that help with anti-aging and wrinkles I also picked up a new facial device that i'll be sharing with you guys in a future video But I bought this little travel size water Oral irrigator, which is a flosser for travel You guys this thing is so incredibly amazing. This is the water jet flosser again from cleviso It helps with effortless gum and plaque removal Odour-free fresh breath it massages your gums, which is really important so that you can go to the dentist Confident in your teeth. It's convenient and it's cordless It's up to 50 more effective than traditional flossing and up to 74 more effective than other water flossers on the market It actually eradicates up to 99.9 of plaque in just three seconds There's an orthodontic tip that is up to three times more effective than dental floss for braces and veneer cleaning It just really offers a comprehensive cleaning it reaches areas where brushing and regular flossing can't access Deep between the teeth and below the gum line. It also has that gentle gum stimulation Which just provides a soothing massage which enhances your gum circulation overall It's suitable with implants crowns bridges and veneers and it just leaves your mouth feeling exceptionally Fresh and clean. I love that it is travel friendly and this is it This is all for storage. All you do is remove the clear tank on the top and that is your water tank So this is what you fill with water. You have all of the different types of tips and it is completely usb chargeable You can just charge this in any usb port But i'll tell you that I charged this up before I left for my trip and I was gone almost a full week I never had to charge this again and I use this every single night I wanted to share with you kind of my personal experience with this type of water flosser or oral irrigator Gums in my family are not good. I was on the verge of periodontal disease and when I started using a water flosser My gums are perfect now. Every time I go to the dentist, they always say Oh, you're just the prime example of how a water flosser actually is more effective I mean 74 percent more effective than flossing your teeth. Choose your desired mode. There's low medium and strong I typically use the strong I really want to get in there and clean out my teeth and then just target the hard to reach areas And just go throughout your gums and your teeth and you'd be shocked what comes out It's actually quite disturbing, but it's also very rewarding when you know that your teeth are nice and clean It's helping stimulate the gums and remove plaque. This is typically about 72 dollars It is on sale for black friday, and I have a special discount code for you I'll link it down below for you so that you can pick this up for yourself for a little bit of self-care Or this would make an amazing gift one charge will last up to 30 days. It's portable You can even take it in the shower for travel. It doesn't take up a lot of space This is everything you need in this tiny little component It also comes in pink and green if you want something a little more colorful But again, it makes the perfect self-care taking care of your teeth is really important And something we sometimes put to the wayside Flossing during the busy holiday season and this is just going to help you floss more effectively in about an eighth of the time So again, I'll link it down below with the special discount I had to share it with you guys because I've been loving it and it's going to help me get in all my Flossing during the busy holiday season speaking of busy holiday season this week's weight watchers workshop topic fits right in And this is a simple way to stay on track when life gets busy. I mean, this is the busiest time of the year Are you stressing about how you're going to navigate the holidays? Not just food related But how are you going to fit everything in all of the holiday parties the christmas shopping The decorating your house the getting ready for the holidays family and friends coming over It is so busy and can be really really stressful And sometimes we think we don't have time to navigate our diet trying to lose weight We're just going to throw in the towel for the rest of the year But what happens is then we start the new year up on the scale and we have to make up for everything We did during the holiday season So this week's topic is just going to help you learn how to stay on track even during this busy time Try this list all the goals supporting tasks you want to take on this week Then circle the one that's the most important to you and doable considering what else you have going on Maybe it's meal prepping your dinners going to the gym three times this week or writing in your journal once this week Can't manage to a hole to do tweak it Could you just prep three dinners and focus on that? Break it down that one task into the smallest steps possible Then make a plan for when you'll do each and what you might need Check the ww app for recipes and make a menu write out a grocery list go grocery shopping Chop your vegetables marinate your proteins and prep anything else in advance batch cook meals tomorrow night Just because we're really busy and weight loss can't be our number one focus during the holidays It can still be a focus and doing all of these little things Taking all of these little teeny baby steps will help us stay on track during the holidays Now I always say it's a holiday not a hollow week not a hollow month Try your best to stay on track when it's not the holidays Christmas Eve Christmas day Enjoy yourself eat all your favorite foods be mindful But eat all your favorite foods and then get right back on track December 26th holiday Not a hollow month try to add little things to your list and also allow yourself some grace and some breathing room The holidays can be really really chaotic let some of those less important less prioritize things Just kind of drop off your radar for the month of December. We should always be prioritizing our health We should always be prioritizing our weight loss. So keep that on the list But let some of the other things go if necessary Focus on one thing to focus on for the month of December. Maybe it's tracking your food Maybe it's prepping for the week. Maybe it's going to the gym drinking your water focus on one thing One healthy habit that will help you make it through December without seeing the scale go in the wrong direction You don't have to do it all to be successful You can do small pieces of it all and still be equally as successful So with that, I want to share three fast facts from Weight Watchers with you Number one when you stop engaging in your usual healthy habits, it can be hard to restart them Number two small doable actions help you stay the course and prevent you from feeling like you have to start From scratch breaking a task into smaller steps helps you believe you can complete it Baby steps give yourself grace. Don't try to do it all Don't try to do it all in the month of December Really don't try to do it all any of the time because it's overwhelming and when we're overwhelmed we quit Find one thing to focus on during the holidays and stick With it and I promise you're not going to have 10 pounds to take off come the beginning of the year Let us know down below What are some of your tips and tricks to make it through the holiday without the scale moving in the wrong Direction and don't forget baby steps and give yourself some grace This is literally one of the best topics from Weight Watchers for this time of year And it just goes hand in hand with incorporating a little bit of self-care into the holidays as well Take care of you. You can't pour from an empty cup So make sure you're giving yourself the self-care you you need throughout the holidays Even if it's just flossing your teeth a little bit more regularly So with that being said with talking about my week, let's chat about my way in now last week I was up on the scale 0.8 that was coming off of my third little getaway vacation in a row I went to hawaii went to texas then my mom came to visit It was very chaotic and it was a lot of eating out and a lot of eating the foods that I normally don't eat But because I have a new health goal a new fitness routine a new way of eating I really have been sticking with that this last week getting in my movement drinking my water taking my supplements And when I stepped on the scale today, I am down 0.6 pounds So I lost everything I gained last week except 0.2 I will also say that I'm starting my cycle So that is partially why the rest of that weight didn't come off and really it's completely fine with me I was fine with the 0.8 gain. So the fact that I lost 0.6 of that is fantastic It was probably just a weight fluctuation from water and you know, just eating some of those different foods While my mom was here visiting. So I feel really really good about where I am I feel really good about going into the month of december really the hardest month of the year And I'm really excited to see what happens in 2024 I did mention in my update video that I'll be doing a vision board video I'll be sharing with you my goals for 2024 and whether or not I reached my goals in 2023 That is all coming this month for you as well So I'm really happy with the losing of 0.6 out of the 0.8 that I gained I'll go ahead and pop up here on the screen my total weight loss so far as well as my current weight And let me know down below.
