I hope it was beautiful and stress-free and just a great week for you. I had a pretty good week, I have to say. It was very busy. We are gearing up to get our new puppy here in a couple of weeks. So it's just been really busy with that. Lots going on with YouTube and my Facebook group. We are getting ready to start our spring challenge that starts in the month of April. So people have been joining that and I'm sending out calendars and stickers. If you're interested, definitely make sure you're part of my Facebook group. It's posted there. So you can head on over and join the challenge. It's so much fun, very motivational. We do Zoom calls, giveaways, prizes. Very, very fun. So I've been working on that. And of course I've been exercising and sticking with my little bit of extra movement that I decided for the month of March. I'm still doing my three days a week of Jazzercise and I also committed for the month of March to take a walk outside at least once a week. So I have done that for the last two weeks and you guys, I'm loving it. The weather here is becoming so nice. It's nice just to be outside and hear the birds chirp and just get in a little bit of extra activity every week is making me feel a lot stronger and I'm actually getting more endurance when it comes to physical activity, especially at Jazzercise. This fourth day a week of activity may be something that I stick with long term. So definitely stay tuned for that. I had a good week food wise. There were two days that I had a little bit higher calories but overall I feel like my food for the week went really well and I didn't really struggle with anything in particular, which is amazing. That's a huge win to just have a well balanced easy, well-rounded week. This week's workshop topic is do you find yourself in a sticky situation? I actually really like this topic. It's going to help us make good decisions when we're in sticky food situations. There are four common scenarios that we can find ourselves in when it comes to food choices, whether or not we stay on plan or don't stay on plan. The first two sticky situations are are we running low on smart points and our day isn't over yet? Or do you find yourself to be hungry in between meals? We can help these two scenarios by making sure that we're building our meals and our snacks around zero point foods. Lean proteins like chicken or not that Greek yogurt. I know on the green plan these aren't zero points but these are low point food options. So make sure that you're building your meals around those. Lots of lean protein, fruits and vegetables and then any pointed item that you wanna add to your meal whether that be a carbohydrate or a healthy fat. So pro tip when it comes to these two scenarios is do a little bit of meal prepping. This doesn't mean spending your whole weekend in the kitchen. This means taking a very small chunk of time and setting yourself up for success. For example, buy and prep your frozen in your pantry items, staples. Now, that way when you go to grab a snack or prepare a meal, they're ready to go for you. We're far more likely to make healthier choices if it's convenient and easy for us. The next scenario is a very common scenario in a lot of our lives and that is we are off track and we are ready to hit the reset button. One thing you can do in this scenario is use the what's in my fridge portion of the WW app. Go through your refrigerator, tell the app what you have in there and you can build your meals around what you have on hand. This is the easiest way to get back on track. This doesn't mean that we have to go spend a lot of money at the grocery store or do a complete meal plan. We can just use what we have on hand. Pro tip for this scenario is set your table up like you would at a restaurant. Whether it be a fancy restaurant or a more casual restaurant, put out some linen, some placemats, pick out your nice plates and silverware, put a candle in the middle, light it with some flowers and really make your table exciting. This will help us get back on track. If the environment that we're going to consume the on track meal in is exciting and inviting. And the third scenario that we find ourselves in quite often is ordering from a restaurant. This can be a really sticky situation. My big tip for this would be to pre-plan. Find the restaurant in the WW app or look it up online. It should have all of the nutritional information for the restaurant. Now, if it's a mom and pop or a small town restaurant it's probably not going to be in the WW app or online for that matter. So just plan ahead to see if you can access the menu, pick the healthiest option and pre-track what you can pre-track. Now I know that there is going to be a little bit of guessing and that's okay. Just get as close as you can to the actual smart points of the meal that you're choosing. And the pro tip for this is if you can't find the exact food or the exact restaurant make an educated guess. You're not going to derail all your progress if you underestimate or overestimate by a point or two. So the big takeaway from this week's topic is set yourself up for success. Do a little bit of planning and prepping so that you can be successful. Whether it's getting back on track or staying on track. So now it's time for this week's weigh in. Like I said, I couldn't complain about a single thing this last week. It actually was an excellent, excellent week when it came to food, activity, movement and just overall my life was pretty smooth sailing this last week. So when I stepped on the scale, I am down 0.8. So that is another loss for the month of March. And so far that means that I have lost two pounds already this month, which is great. I am happy with half of a pound to a pound or so a week of weight loss because for me, I want to eat as much as I can and still lose weight, keep my metabolism red and never feel hungry between meals. So it goes really good in hand in hand with this week's topic. So now I want to hear from you guys. Let me know how your week was. Did you have any struggles? Anything that you want to share? Any venting that you want to do? Or just ask your questions. I'm always, always happy to help. Let me know how your weigh in went. Was it what you expected? Definitely leave all that down in the comments for me. So my goals for this next week to continue to do more of the same. I'm going to incorporate that fourth day of activity depending on how I'm feeling and how busy my week is I may even try to get in five days. I mean, who am I giving in two extra days of activity this next week? As the weather gets nicer, I'm definitely more motivated to get outside and do a little bit of extra activity. So if you enjoyed another weigh in video, give this one a big thumbs up and don't forget if you're new or you're watching and you're not subscribed and actually almost half of the people who watch my channel aren't even subscribed.
