 Good morning friends and happy Friday. It is currently Wednesday when I am filming this video because I'm actually headed Over to Seattle, Washington bright and early tomorrow morning Thursday to take a real estate class for all of Friday So I won't be here for my regular workshop. So I decided to pop into the Wednesday morning workshop I'm gonna weigh in stay here with the topic is for the week And I am a busy girl today just trying to get everything in order for my trip But I wanted to hop on really quick and let you guys kind of know how my week went. So my week overall so far It's not quite been a week. It's only Wednesday Has been good. It's been good I had one day where I was a little bit off track, but overall my week has been pretty good I was a little bit sick with a cold slash Stomach issue on Monday. So I did not go to Jazzercise So I have not been to Jazzercise since Thanksgiving But I am going today and I am so excited and I'm even thinking of going tomorrow morning Thursday before I head out of town For the weekend. So I plan on picking right back up where I left off now that I'm feeling a little bit better as far as Jazzercise goes, but overall my food went pretty good for the week I was able to get back on track after Thanksgiving, which is always a good thing So since it is Wednesday and I'm here I'm gonna go in and weigh in and I'll be back to share my weigh-in results for you with you as well as what we discussed In the workshop and again, you guys will see this on Friday. So happy Friday friends Well, I'm out of my WW workshop and it was a fantastic one as always I was really excited about the topic this week because it's something that is Confusing still to people with all of the new plan changeovers and this new plan and that color plan and what's on this plan And what's on that plan? So I was really excited that WW decided to talk about zero point foods And the topic was get to know your zero point foods And I think this comes at a perfect time with the holidays as well as all of the changeovers of the different colors of plans So there are different zero point foods on all three colors As you know the purple the green and the blue plan all have different zero point foods now The purple plan has the most zero point foods at over 300 The blue plan has over 200 zero point foods and the green plan has over 100 zero point foods So we need to get to know those foods and figure out how to incorporate those into our daily eating So the first tip with the zero point foods is create a personalized list of zero point foods on that list put three of your very very favorite zero point foods and Put three zero point foods that you want to try and if you didn't know you can find the list of zero point foods In the my WW book that was given to you with the plan changeovers Also on your app and on the my WW or Weight Watchers website So go find the list pick your top three Favorite zero point foods and then again add a list of three zero point foods that you want to give a try So for me, I'm on the green plan. So my zero point foods I have a hundred of them comprised mostly of fruits and non-starchy vegetables. So I have my favorites I love berries. I tend to eat a lot of blueberries raspberries strawberries I also love grapes as far as veggies go. I pretty much love everything zucchini. I love squash Delicata squash Brussels sprouts you name it So I can easily come up with three of my favorite zero point foods But my goal or my challenge for myself is to come up with three zero point foods I've yet to try that I need to add to my list So the purpose of zero point foods is to help you stay within your daily points budget Those people that follow the purple plan have the lowest amount of daily points And then blue and then green so by incorporating those zero point foods into your daily eating It helps you stay within your daily points because those are zero and it's most important And I think the number one tip with zero point foods is to use them as a basis for your meals I personally don't think that eating an entire meal that is zero points is a very smart decision And I'm only saying that and this is my opinion because I feel that if you do that then Most of us not all of us but most of us would use our daily points for things that maybe aren't as healthy of options Because we had a zero point lunch now we can have a big dessert. Do you know what I mean? So I don't think it's smart to always have zero point meals But it's definitely the reason behind the zero point foods is to build your meals around them Use them as snacks use them to bulk up your favorite recipes They are zero points But also on that same note be mindful of the portion size of zero point foods Especially things such as fruits or your starchy veggies or on the purple plan your rice as your potatoes that type of thing Because they do have calories and they can add up rather quickly if you over indulge in the zero point foods Now I say eat all the veggies your little heart can muster because you're very unlikely to over indulge in non Starchy veggies are really build up a high calorie count with your non starchy veggies So again build your list and use those things to bulk up your meals Use those zero point foods as snacks and use them as the foundation of all of your meals So here's my challenge to you for the week Add two zero point foods to your menu each day Whether that be in the form of a snack to bulk up your meal or as the foundation of a breakfast a lunch or a dinner Really challenge yourself to incorporate those zero point foods a little bit more into your daily eating Because again, they are zero points because they are healthy. They are nutritious They are low calorie, but they are nutrient dense and so that's why they are deemed as zero point foods So if you're not a big chicken eater try to incorporate a little bit more chicken into your meals this week Pick two meals every day to incorporate a zero point food If you have a struggle eating a zero point foods because they're just not your favorite things in the whole wide world Then maybe branch out and try something new you never know What zero point food you might find that becomes your new absolute favorite So that is the challenge to myself and that is my challenge to you to try to incorporate Two zero point foods every day. All right, so let's get into my weigh-in this week So as you know, I weighed in last Wednesday due to the Thanksgiving holiday I was not about to weigh in the day after Thanksgiving and last Wednesday I was down two pounds which was awesome and exciting and then Thanksgiving happened As I mentioned, I worked out on Thanksgiving. Holy moly. Was that a crazy workout? It was an hour and 10 minutes of Jazzercise. I wanted to die I was sore for like three days afterwards, but I burned 1100 calories before I sat down for Thanksgiving dinner So that in my opinion is a huge win Thanksgiving I indulged I had what I wanted. I didn't go too incredibly crazy But I ate what I wanted and I enjoyed my favorite Thanksgiving dishes And then Friday I was back on track and as I mentioned this week was pretty good so far It is only Wednesday. You're just seeing this on Friday and this week's been pretty good I did have one pretty high point day. It was the day Monday that I just wasn't feeling very well So I just wanted comfort food all day And I have not been to Jazzercise since that big workout on Thanksgiving morning But I can't wait to go tonight at 4 30 and then I'm heading out of town tomorrow And my goal is I'm going to vlog my entire trip to Seattle So you guys can see what I'm eating when I'm on the road by myself When nobody else is there to take me here or feed me this or feed me that And I'm pretty sure we get fed lunch the day of the class So that's going to be a challenge. So I'm going to take you guys along with me on my trip this weekend So all in all it should be pretty good. I should stay on track especially when I'm filming I tend to stay on track a little bit better. So uh with that being said when I stepped on the scale this morning I was actually up 0.8 And I'm assuming that that is from not only the Thanksgiving food But also just maybe not being on track on Monday and then really no activity I did get I didn't quite get 10 000 steps this week, but yesterday I want to say It was like 8 000. I spent the day cleaning my house because I was actually feeling a little bit better So hopefully with going back to Jazzercise and staying on track this weekend on my trip to Seattle I should see a pretty good loss on the scale next week So I will take it and I'm going to be implementing a few more of those zero point foods into my week I'm definitely going to have to use those zero point foods on my trip so that I can stay within my daily points because like I said I don't know what they're going to feed us and I'm pretty darn sure we're getting fed If not breakfast lunch and snacks the day of the class at least lunch So of course, I'll take you guys along with me. So I want to hear how did your Thanksgiving go? Did you stay on track? Did you indulge? What did you do? What was your game plan and how did it pan out for Thanksgiving and how has it been since Thanksgiving? I've been seeing a lot on facebook and my facebook group and other facebook groups That people are just struggling to get back on track after Thanksgiving and you guys this is the hardest Time of the year. This is the hardest month of the year Not only is it Christmas and I get that Christmas is one one or two days if you count Christmas Eve But it's all the holiday festivities the dinners the parties the this the that's that really help Get us off track and stay off track for the entire month of december and you can do some major damage If you let Christmas and the month of december and the holidays spirit get away from you this month So I want to know what kind of what your guys's game plan is for the month of december as well Of staying on track. So i'm not going to do anything different. I'm going to continue to go to jazzer size I'm going to continue to only use my weeklies once a week now It may not be on saturday if I have a holiday party on a friday That's the day that I'll use my weeklies and I actually have quite a few holiday events Coming up this month. I've got my real estate party. I'm doing a little dinner Play with my mom and then I'm having all the girls from my last job over For a like wine and hors d'oeuvre night. So I'm going to have to do some fancy footwork with my weeklies I may divide them up over multiple days But I'm going to do what I always do every other month outside of december once a week Use my weeklies continue to exercise continue to track Work on those zero point foods I'm going to try to do the same thing so that at very least I maintain in the month of december Now, of course, I would love to lose in the month of december But at very least I would be happy if I could just maintain So my light went off in my car. It must be light enough out that my car recognizes that So sorry for the lighting change guys, but that's my plan for the month of december So down in the comments, I want to know a couple things.
