I completely blew it the first few days of the week I don't know what got into me, but I really was kind of in that. I don't care mode I've been so incredibly busy that tracking my food and eating healthy just kind of got set on the back burner Which is not the way that it should be it should be Always in the forefront and important to me and something that I'm really focused and dedicated to it Just for some reason was just a struggle the first part of the week about midweek I snapped out of it and got right back into tracking and making sure that I was eating in a calorie deficit and staying Relatively within my smart points and just making sure that I was making good food choices I nailed my protein goal the second half of the week and stayed within my calories So I was hoping when I stepped on the scale that that would make up for the horrible first part of the week that I had I think we all go through ups and downs I know it's a new year and we should be super motivated to lose weight but life happens business happens and Quarantine happens and we still kind of feel a little down in the dumps when it comes to eating right and tracking And that's kind of how I felt the first part of the week. I am in no way shape or form perfect I make mistakes. I don't follow the program to tea all the time So I wanted to be honest and let you guys know that the first part of the week not good And in fact when I stepped on the scale, I think it was Tuesday. I was actually up like over three pounds So I stressed out a little bit and that kind of snapped me back into things and then that's when I said that's it You're back on track. You're gonna track. You're gonna do it You're gonna try to make up those three pounds But before we jump into the weight loss results for this week as well as next week's goals Let's talk about the workshop topic So we ended the setting boundaries series and we started a new series at the WWW workshops And that series is called is your home base? Helping or hindering you if your kitchen or your dining room or wherever you spend a large majority of your time Eating and preparing your meals if that's hindering you in your weight loss It's time to do some major remodeling if there's cupcakes on the counter chips in the pantry Unhealthy foods at eyesight in the fridge. It's time to do some revamping when we're choosing what to eat A lot of that is based on what we visually see So here's a little tip for you instead of leaving chips or unhealthy snacks on the counter put something out on the counter That's healthier. That's maybe lower calorie Maybe lower smart point things like popcorn or healthier snacks that way when you're visually Looking for something to eat or snack on what's in front of you is a healthier option Also, make it easier on your future self set yourself up for success You guys hear me say all the time on my channel if you fail to plan you plan to fail So instead of going to bed without setting yourself up for success in the morning Maybe putting together what you're going to have for breakfast and setting it out on the counter Or maybe even putting the pan in the cooking utensil on the stove set yourself up for success the night before get your Kitchen ready for the morning. You can even go as far as making your breakfast in advance How about putting together some overnight oats and throwing them in the fridge right in front of you? So when you open the fridge the next morning, you're reminded that breakfast is ready Whether that's on the go or sitting down at home overnight oats are ready to go And the next tip is disrupt the default and what this means is basically Make it harder on yourself to choose the unhealthy or option So for example instead of setting a pan of brownies out on the counter How about cutting them up wrapping them individually and freezing them individually that way you're mindfully selecting one brownie out of your Freezer and you actually have to unthought before you can eat it rather than mindlessly Scooping and picking at the pan of brownies on your kitchen counter and the last hack is make designated zones So instead of snacking while you're cooking because we tend to take little bites and taste We obviously want to try what we're preparing. How about setting yourself a designated eating zone? That's the kitchen table no snacking no bites no licks no tastes no eating at all unless you're sitting at your kitchen table That way you've made designated zones where it's okay to consume your food That will prevent you from mindlessly snacking and again taking those little bites licks and tastes Honestly the easier the choices the more likely were to make it We always as human beings will take the path of least resistance So set yourself up in your home when it comes to making healthier choices easy much easier than the unhealthy choices I think these tips are great And I'm really glad that we're starting this hitting the reset type of series with WW because even though it's the first of the year a lot of people haven't actually hit the reset button They haven't started their healthy lifestyle journey in 2021 So now it's time and I'm glad that WW is putting out this series So now let's talk about my weigh-in So like I mentioned early in the week Tuesday I weighed myself and I was up a little over three pounds 3.2 to be exact and that's what snapped me back into reality And I want to touch a little bit on the scale Some people can be addicted to the scale and the scale can make their entire day good bad or indifferent For me the scale is something that snaps me back into reality It's not something that if I step on and I see a loss I'm like hallelujah I can eat whatever I want that doesn't actually happen for me But when I step on the scale and I see a gain that's what snaps me back into reality So I think the decision I made to get on the scale on Tuesday was a good decision I was feeling a little bit fluffy and so I hopped on the scale and sure enough up over three pounds So by getting back on track on Wednesday That gave me a couple of days plus this morning to get back on track and get rid of any extra water weight Or bloat that came along with eating not so good Sunday Monday and Tuesday So my final weigh in when I stepped on today is I'm actually down Point two now. It's not a lot, but let's be honest. I lost basically 3.4 pounds So I'll take it the fact that I'm actually down weight is a huge win for me So I'm extra motivated to actually really do well this next week I have a high calorie high point day scheduled for saturday as we're going to a friends for dinner But other than that I have it mapped out for the next week to stay within my calories And where I need to be point wise to see a bigger loss on the scale But I'm relieved in a sense that I was still able to lose weight So it's kind of proof that you can make some mistakes. It doesn't completely derail your whole week Just get back on track. Don't beat yourself up. Get back on track and eventually that weight will come off So now I want to hear from you guys.
