 Hey friends, welcome to my channel and welcome if you're new here It is Friday and I am outside of my WWW workshop. Not only is it Friday, but it is dark like Pitch black dark outside, but I'm here. I'm excited to weigh in Excited to get back to my workshop excited to just get back to normal life after my trip to Vegas So as you know, like I mentioned last week in my weigh-in. I did head out to Vegas last Friday So I weighed in a little bit early last Thursday since I was heading out on Friday and I also mentioned that my goal for when I go to Vegas is to not gain More than one pound to eat as healthy as I can and to just be mindful of what I'm eating while I'm on my trip So fast forward to today after I've been through Vegas and let's talk about what I did and what I didn't do So I felt like I ate Decent did I eat as healthy as I wanted to eat the entire trip? No I actually only ate the food that we bought at Trader Joe's twice When really we planned on eating that healthy food that chicken the rice the sweet potatoes the green beans more than that It's just Vegas happened. We were out so we went out to eat versus eating the food that we picked up at Trader Joe's I got a ton of exercise a ton There wasn't a day that I did not hit my 10,000 steps most days I was way over my 10,000 steps We did go out for ice cream and I did an entire vlog on Vegas. I'll link it down below for you guys Check it out. It turned out so good But we did go to a place called Frost and Roll and had ice cream one time and other than that You know, I felt like my food was decent was it ww the whole four days I was gone absolutely not but it was decent so I wanted to not gain more than one pound So when I got back from Vegas on Monday, I did not step on the scale But I did go ahead and step on the scale on Tuesday, and I was up almost three pounds So I know some of that is water weight from traveling and of course eating those foods that I generally don't eat But I was like, oh my god It's way more than the one pound that I had told myself that I wanted to gain but this last week I did pretty well on food. I was extra hungry this last week. I I don't know what the deal is I went to jazzer size three times two or three times this week and come yesterday Thursday I figured out exactly why I was so hungry Let's guess what happened guess what always happens on Thursday before way in The time of the month is here. So it started yesterday today's day, too I'm pretty miserable today to be completely honest with you. I feel really bloated my stomach does not feel the greatest But it is what it is So I honestly don't know what's going to happen when I get on the scale on top of going to Vegas my time of the month I'm so sore from jazzer size it kicked my booty the last couple days that I went and I'm actually going again tomorrow morning So I don't know if those three factors are gonna contribute to a not so good way in But it is what it is you guys sometimes you just have to live your life and I enjoyed my trip to Vegas I've enjoyed going to jazzer size if it makes me soar and I don't lose as much on the scale Overall, it's better for my body. It's better for my joints is better for my health and eventually the scale of ketchup So it's not all about the scale and we have to live our lives. So with that being said, let me head into my workshop I'll be back to share my hopefully not terrible way in and the workshop topic. Hey guys, welcome back I just got out of my workshop So I'm here to discuss what the topic and also share my way in with you and as you can tell by the title of this video It was a bit of a shocker today. I have to say so probably the biggest shocker since I've started my weight loss journey So before we get into the whole way in what happened on the scale Let's talk about the topic because it's an excellent one It is a challenge and I love a challenge eat the rainbow challenge So basically in a nutshell the challenge is for us to try a different fruit and vegetable than we've tried in the past So maybe something that we've seen at the grocery store in the produce aisle That's kind of piqued our interest, but we're like, we don't know what to do with that I've never had that before am I going to like it? So the challenge is to find a new fruit or vegetable or both Preferably to try this week something you've never tried before Something that kind of piques your interest or looks good to you But you really don't know what you would do with that particular fruit or vegetable that is the eat the rainbow challenge So I'm going to share with you three Tips to take part in this challenge and make sure that you are successful in trying your new fruit and vegetable So the very first thing to do is select your fruit or vegetable or both I would suggest picking one fruit and one vegetable that you've never tried before and Just pick them up at the grocery store Blindly you guys blindly pick them up at the grocery store then when you get home log into your WW app Go on to your my day screen So the main screen that shows your points that you are eating in the screen that you track on Scroll all the way to the bottom and select recipes open up the recipe tab I think it says find recipes go ahead and open that up in the search bar number two in the search bar of The recipes tab enter in that particular fruit or vegetable So for example, let's say that you decided to pick up dragon fruit So in that search bar enter dragon fruit once you enter dragon fruit in the search bar It will bring up a ton of recipes using that particular fruit Maybe you want to enter in a weird vegetable like hickama or something you've never tried before It will give you a ton of scrumptious recipe ideas Scroll through pick the recipe that sounds the best to you click on the recipe and it's going to give you step-by-step Instructions and it's also going to tell you how much of each ingredient So basically it's going to give you a recipe to make with that fruit or vegetable that you've never tried before and Number three while you're in the recipe go ahead and pre-track it hit the little button that says track it Pre-tracking our food. Basically. We're pre-qualifying our day. We're pre-tracking what we're going to eat so that it helps us stay on track I do recommend that if you are someone that likes to pre-track Give yourself a little bit of leeway leave yourself some extra points because you never know what's going to come up during the day You may be a little bit more hungry. You may be a little bit less hungry Just make sure that you're giving yourself that leeway to have a little bit of extra points If that's what you need to make it through the day So just don't pre-track all of your points But go ahead and pre-track your main meals and the main snacks that you're going to eat throughout the day And by doing that you now have tried a new fruit or vegetable You have a delicious recipe to make and you've pre-tracked that meal out of your daily point So you are determined and setting yourself up to stay on track during that particular day Once you've tracked it go ahead and prepare that recipe eat it mindfully and also when you Prepare the recipe before you eat it snap a photo of it post it on connect post it on my Facebook group I am going to put my Facebook group right there on the screen for you guys. It's such a wonderful place So we have 9500 Wonderful women and men as part of my Facebook group We love to see your food ideas share your recipes Share the challenge of trying a new fruit and vegetable this week what you made with it and then share your thoughts Did you like it? Did you not like it? Not all recipes are wins But hopefully it'll give you a new fruit or vegetable to put in your arsenal because I know for me especially I tend to eat the same fruits and vegetables So it's always nice to add something new and fresh to the list of fruits and vegetables to eat on WW so that's my challenge for you guys this week. I'm gonna do it as well I'm actually going grocery shopping tomorrow. So I'm going to pick up a different fruit and vegetable I'm gonna try it and maybe we can all report back to each other on what we thought so challenge this week to eat the rainbow So let's talk about my way in this week So as you know, I just got back from Vegas, which was awesome amazing I also have been working out a lot and then of course started my time of the month But let's talk a little bit about my way in so I knew in my mind That it probably wasn't going to be the best way in only because I have three things playing against me a trip to Vegas The fact that it's my time of the month and also that I'm sore than sore can be from all of my working out So I knew that it probably wouldn't be the best way in and when I weighed myself after I returned from Vegas It was the next day. I came back on Monday. I weighed myself on Tuesday and I was up Right about pretty close to three pounds. So I was like, that's okay. A lot of that's gonna be water weight I'm gonna be able to take that off before the end of the week. Well Unfortunately my friends that is not what panned out for me this week. So I had a bit of a shock It's probably the biggest shock. I've had since I started my weight loss journey I almost did not weigh in to be completely honest with you Even my leader was like, don't weigh in if you don't want to you just got back from vacation But I was like, no, no, no, I'm gonna weigh in I'm gonna be honest. I'm gonna be accountable Let's do it. How bad can it be? Right? How bad can it be? So I stepped on the scale and you guys I gained four point two pounds four point two Like how does that even happen? How did I gain four point two pounds? So I'm up even more than I was when I returned from Vegas now part of that I'm sure is gonna be attributed to the time of the month some of that's probably due to me being Really really sore. So my muscles are retaining a lot of water There's a lot of contributing factors, but I freaked out and was like, oh my god I've never ever gained that much I don't even feel to be completely honest with you that it's a justifiable gain with all the activity I did in Vegas the fact that I've been to Jazzercise three times this week since I returned what the heck But it is what it is. So initially I freaked out and then my leader so kindly said it's okay It happens life happens. You lived your life. You went on vacation. Just get back on track It'll come off. I felt a little bit better after that But of course I was still like oh my goodness So a little bit of a shocker guys a little bit of a shocker But I'm gonna use it as motivation to kick this week in the rear and do my best to lose all of that I'm hoping I know that's probably not gonna happen. It's a lot to ask for But I'm really going to shoot to lose that when I step on the scale next week. So that was my sad day my sad way in Yeah, my sad day, but that's okay. It's a new week. It's a fresh set of weeklies. I'm back on track today I actually plan my food. I brought my breakfast with me so that I can go edit and upload this video I have floor time this afternoon at work. I have dinner ready to go I have my lunch prep ready to go so I'm setting myself up for some success I'm gonna try a new fruit or vegetable this week. So yeah, hopefully next week I have far better news to report to you, but I want to hear how did your week go? Was it what you expected? Did you gain? Did you lose? What do you think of this trying a new fruit or and or vegetable and are you going to try that this next week? Right along with me. So definitely leave me some comments below. I love hearing from you guys I want to know how your weeks went. Wish me luck this week. Please don't hate me because I gained four pounds Oh, I still in my mind can't wrap it around it I don't think that it's an actual gain of four pounds, but we'll see let's see what happens next week That'll give us a better indicator of whether it was like a legit four pound gain Or if it's a little bit of water retention and residual from my trip to Vegas and Jazzercise in the morning to work off some of that four point two pounds So comment down below you guys Let me know how your week went if you're new Welcome.
