So let's go ahead and jump in to the workshop topic, how my week was, my weigh in and setting some new goals for next week. I hope you had an absolutely amazing, amazing week. We had a very busy, busy week, but it's been amazing all the same. We are officially in Arizona. This was my first full week in my new house, my first full week being able to cook in my new kitchen and not have to eat out for every meal, which I never thought that I would be so thankful to have home cooked meals. Eating out just gets really old, really fast. And it's a lot harder to stay on track when we're eating out. And I just feel better overall if I'm preparing my meals at home. So I am so excited that I'm actually able to prepare meals at home, eat healthy, and I was able to stay on track 100% this last week. Not to mention my food being in check. I've been very busy getting my house organized, lots of shopping, lots of buying new home decor. You guys saw all that in Wednesdays, what I eat in a day. I did a little shock with me. I'll make sure I link that video down below if you haven't seen it yet. So I've been getting in a lot of activity. I haven't even had to work out. I actually haven't had time to go work out yet. I haven't even been to the gym in our community to get signed up because I'm getting 10,000 plus steps a day, just organizing and doing things around the house. Not to mention we have to thoroughly clean the house once everything is done. Since it gets messy with moving and like I mentioned, we've had people in and out of our house giving us bids and quotes and fixing things and installing things. Our house is just needing a good solid cleaning. So that's going to be quite the activity, quite the exercise when Troy and I clean this house. We are absolutely loving our new home. We are absolutely loving Arizona. I told Troy the other day that I'm much happier here and I don't know if it's because I wake up to sunshine every single day or if I just feel a sense of peace and ease in Arizona. It's a much slower pace of life. I feel like the vibe here is very chill and people just really aren't in a hurry and I really, really like that and value that and that's something that I wanted with our move to Arizona is to kind of slow down my own life and really just embrace my experiences and just live a more slow paced peaceful life. And I definitely feel like Arizona is giving that to me, which makes my heart really happy. We pretty much have our house in order. We're just doing the last few decorating things. So stay tuned for our house tour once we get all the finishing touches on. I would imagine that will be in the next couple of weeks. So definitely make sure you're subscribed and your bells on so you don't miss that video. So overall, I feel like I had a really good week. Despite being really busy and settling into our new house, I've been 100% on track. And my driving force for that is I want to hit 100 pounds down. As of the last week's weigh-in, I was 97.5 pounds down. So I am this close to my 100 pound goal. So my intention is to hit 100 pounds down in the month of April. Whether that be this week next week, just by the end of the month, my goal is to be 100 pounds down. So before I jump into this week's weigh-in, let's talk a little bit about this week's WW workshop topic, because once again, it is a great one. And this week's topic is how to know if you are actually hungry. Is it true hunger or is it head hunger? Do you head to the kitchen and you're not even sure why? This week's workshop topic is definitely going to be helpful for you. There are a few things that you can do to determine if you're actually hungry or if you're head hungry. Number one is how do you feel physically? A, are you physically hungry? Is your stomach growling? Do you have a headache? Are you feeling truly hungry? Or B, do you feel okay? You're all good. The next question to ask yourself is what do you want to eat right now? A, give me anything and quick. Or B, I know exactly what I'm grabbing from the refrigerator. I always tell myself, if I'm not hungry enough to eat vegetables like carrots or cucumbers, then I'm not actually hungry. And this is a way that I check in with myself every time I feel hungry to determine whether or not I'm truly hungry or if it's all in my head. Number three is to ask yourself, when is the last time that you actually ate, whether that be a meal or a snack? A, I can't remember maybe three or four hours ago. Or B, to be honest, I just finished eating. Go back and review your answers to these three questions. And if you answered mostly A's, then you are truly internally hungry and it's time for you to have a meal or a snack. And if you answered a lot of B's, likely you are feeling external hunger or better known as head hunger. This is where we think we're hungry, but we're not physically hungry. I'm a board eater. So when I'm watching TV or when I'm bored, which doesn't happen very often, that's when I tend to feel hungry. But I do a check in with myself and 99% of the time I'm not truly hungry. It's all up here that's making me think I'm hungry. Think of internal hunger like utility bills. You have to pay them every month to keep your lights on, to keep your water running, just like you have to fuel your body with food every day to keep your body running. External hunger is all the extra things, the internet, the cable, stopping for coffee every morning on your way to work. These are all of the extra things that aren't necessary to keep your household running. These are the foods that we're eating that aren't necessary to fuel our body. Maybe you walked by a bakery that smelled amazing and all of a sudden you were hungry. This is a great chance to check in with yourself to see if you're truly hungry or is it that delicious smell radiating from that bakery that makes you think that you're hungry. Now I'm not saying that you should just eat when you're internally hungry. That's not realistic. It's totally okay to have a slice of pie that's sitting in your refrigerator because you had a stressful day at work or maybe you're eating handfuls of popcorn while you're watching a movie in the evening. This is all okay. There is no moral valuation on food. Food is not bad or good. You're not bad or good because maybe you ate that slice of pie or some handfuls of popcorn but it is important to know the difference between internal or head hunger. This can help you make better decisions on what to eat, when to eat, and how much to eat. So as long as you're self-aware to notice the difference it's really okay to eat whether you're internally hungry or head hungry. In my opinion every single person at some point struggles with determining whether they're truly hungry or they just think that they're hungry. So by using these tips from WW it's just going to help you make better decisions whether you're internally or externally hungry. One of my goals this week is actually to really be mindful of this and really think about am I truly hungry or do I just think that I'm hungry when I want to reach for a snack or a meal. So that's my goal for this next week is to be more in tune with my body and really think about whether or not I need that meal or snack. With my physically demanding week and eating home cooked meals which was absolutely incredible when I stepped on the scale I lost 1.6 pounds which puts me just a hair over 99 pounds down so close so close to the 100 pounds. I have a sneaking suspicion I may hit 100 pounds loss next week and when I do it is going to be a celebration here on my channel. I can't wait to be 100 pounds down. That is not my goal weight. I do have a little bit more weight to lose and like I mentioned in last week's weigh-in I see my new doctor here in Arizona this next week for blood work and I'm going to have a conversation with her about goal weight and where she thinks that I should be how much more she thinks that I should lose and I'll share that with you guys in next week's weigh-in along with hopefully hopefully hitting 100 pounds lost. So now I want to hear from you guys I want to know how is your week did you gain did you lose did you weigh in how was how is everything going and do you suffer from deciding whether you're truly hungry or not I really think most people at some point struggle with this so let me know all the things down in the comments and of course if you enjoyed another Friday weigh-in video give it a big thumbs up and make sure you're subscribed and your bell is turned on so you can find out if I hit 100 pounds down next week and of course check out that description box down below for nutrition coaching as well as links and discounts to all of my favorite things and my Facebook group we'd love to have you come on over and join us there happy Friday friends happy weekend have a wonderful weekend and I'll see you all in tomorrow's grocery haul bye
