 Hi friends, welcome back to my channel. Happy Friday. It is just before 6 30 a.m. And I just got to ww. It's dark again now that the time change has went into effect It's now dark again like in the middle of winter. Oh, I was over that But that's okay. I've got my light on in my car So I apologize for the kind of weird lighting But I did want to hop on really quick before I go into my workshop and first of all Before I start talking about my week. I want to send out a huge Thank you to all of you who sent me nice messages Nice comments on my video where I kind of explained what approach I was taking when I say that I am Clean eating or following a clean approach to ww. So thank you so much you guys for all of your Encouragement and your kind words and your love and support it really really truly means the world to me And I'm hoping that that whole situation is now put behind me and I can move on With my life and I am still you know eating as I did before I think that I may Use different verbiage sometimes when I'm talking about the foods that I'm eating and like I said I say that I have a clean approach to ww And I've kind of said since the beginning that I'm going to eat built bars and Processed foods if they have good ingredients. So I'm just rethinking maybe my verbiage But overall that situation is over and I'm glad so let's talk about my week So my week was pretty good. I actually went to Jazzercise four times this week I got brand new tennis shoes last Saturday. You guys let me just tell you the difference new Shoes makes I went to a store called fleet feet and they actually custom fit you for tennis shoes I know it I knew they'd be expensive But it was so worth it they scan your feet and custom fit you they choose what tennis shoes would work best for your feet and the Activity that you're going to do so I got some hokas and they're black and pink and they're so Cute if I still have a picture I'll insert that here for you guys, but seriously, they're so cute They're so comfortable. It's like walking on air. So my workouts have just gotten so much better since I grabbed some new shoes So they were I think a hundred and thirty dollars, but well worth it. I'm telling you when your feet hurt It's the worst so I that happened so I was able to go to Jazzercise Comfortably four days this last week. I ate really well. I was a little bit extra hungry a couple of days So I did go over my points a little bit a couple days But those were also the days that I went to Jazzercise so I don't feel bad about that at all So this next week I do have kind of a test run that I'm going to do that I'll share with you when I get out of my workshop But I'm gonna head in weigh in stay for the workshop and I'll be back to share everything we discussed and my way in Hi friends welcome back I'm out of my ww workshop and I know I say this almost every time I go to a workshop or pretty regularly But ww's topic is always exactly what? I need it's so crazy to me today was no different today We talked all about nobody's perfect, and I love this topic so much It completely resonated with me with everything that's kind of been going on with my journey and with my channel here on YouTube And they gave us some tips and things to think about when it comes to nobody's perfect if you sit out on any type of weight loss journey or any Journey in general in life whether it be career related relationship related weight loss related if you set yourself up for perfection You're setting yourself up for failure because there's no way that you can be perfect throughout your entire Journey no matter what that journey's end road is there's always going to be bumps in the road Hiccups things that happen life happens So you just are setting yourself up for disappointment and failure if you set out to have a perfect journey And that is exactly what happens if you set out on Ww with a perfect journey in mind because you know things are gonna come up The scale isn't always going to reflect your hard work and sometimes the scale is extra nice to you when you don't deserve it So I want to share with you some of the food for thought when it comes to nobody's perfect from Ww the big thing is is to accept your imperfections You would never be as critical on someone else as you are on yourself So five tips to help you accept your imperfections from Ww focus on how it feels when you think about someone or even a pet You know my babies the saloon Lola when you think about how they Feel about you and how they care about you focus on that You know that your kids your husband your parents your dog your cat love you unconditionally And how does that make you feel to know that they love you as much as they love you with their whole heart And soul and unconditionally and focus on the feeling that you get when you think about that Number two is visualize the qualities of somebody that you look up to and think about three reasons Why you look up to that person? So this could be someone in your physical life This could be a someone on social media that you look up to no matter what that reason is that you look up to them Whether it's because they've been successful on their weight loss journey Or maybe they've been successful in their fitness journey or their career journey or family What are three things that make you look up to that person and think about those three things and reflect those on? Yourself and think about three things about yourself that would make you look up to you number three Notice what happens when you treat yourself like you would treat someone else Treat yourself like you would treat a child if a child made a mistake or didn't do what they said They were going to do or maybe didn't reach a goal Think about how you would treat them and resonate that same treatment to yourself and this is really hard you guys I know I know for me if my friend didn't lose one week on the scale or if my friend Wasn't perfect I would definitely give them a lot more grace than I tend to give myself and especially when you have outside Influences that are negative. It's hard to sometimes focus on the positive But think about how you would treat someone else in the same situation that you're next is treat yourself Like you would treat a friend. This is similar to the last one But really think about a close friend of yours your best friend your ride or die How do you treat that person and that's exactly how you should be treating yourself? So when I think about this if my friend isn't successful in their weight loss one week Or maybe my friend is struggling in some other area of their life I'm here to listen offer advice compassion give them a hug when needed So I need to remember that when I'm in that same negative state or in that same situation I need to do those exact same things to myself I need to get myself a big hug or show myself a little compassion or grace and trust me I know it's hard, but I think it's really important no matter where you are and what you're Embarking on in your life to follow these principles and lastly I have to say is my very favorite one and that is to write down three things that you're grateful for today Now I think this could be an everyday thing where you actually sit down and you think about things that you're grateful for And they could be things as simple as this hot cup of coffee that I'm drinking or you could really dive a little bit deeper and Be grateful for your health or the fact that you're able to get up and go to Jazzercise or go work out in the morning Those are things that we need to remember And I think if we focus on three things that we're grateful for every day or every morning when we get up And we're going through our morning routine I think that sets our day up for a more positive successful day overall So I'm going to start implementing this I may not write it down every day But I'm going to make a conscious effort to really truly think about three things each day that I am grateful for and again You don't have to soul search. You could really think about simple things But when you think I'm grateful for this today What are the first three things that pop in your mind? And I think by implementing this all of the other pieces that help us remember We're not perfect. We'll kind of fall into place. So as always WW hit the nail on the head like they always do with their topic and I actually loved this topic We talked a lot about support and giving ourselves in each other grace And I think that is so incredibly important and we have to remember even when we're Watching other people on social media or we're interacting with other people in our daily life that nobody is perfect We all make mistakes. We all have positive things and negative things that happen to us on a given day We all sometimes change our mind or change the way that we're going about our journey and that's completely Okay, and we just have to remember nobody is perfect So let's talk about my week and talk about my way in so my week like I said went really well I again went over my points I think one day in addition to Saturday where I generally use my weeklies anyways And that's just because I was super hungry after my workout And I mentioned this in several videos that I'm going to make sure that I'm fueling my body Especially on days that I am working out because I don't want to drag through my workout And I don't want to be so hungry after my workout that I'm not giving my body what it is needing Because again ultimately my goal is to transition from blue to purple and then eventually transition into a more intuitive eating style Where of course I'm still going to be on WW I'm still gonna keep tracking my points I'll do that forever But I want to focus more on eating when I'm hungry and until I'm satisfied So by making sure that I'm fueling my body when it's telling me it's hungry is in my opinion kind of the first step for that So with that I worked out four days this week like I suggested in fact I'm going to jazz or size next and then I'm going to get my hair cut So I will be back to show you guys what my hair looks like in another video because I'm cutting it I'm going to get a whole new cut a whole new style We're taking off some of this extra hair that I don't need especially with the warm weather I have really really thick coarse hair and sometimes it's just too much to manage so I'm ready to kind of Change my hair up a little bit and get a little bit lighter and fluffier for summer So with my week and my exercise and tracking my food I'm happy to report that when I stepped on the scale. I lost two pounds to how exciting is that? So I am two pounds down this week which makes up for last week And I'm feeling really good and motivated to going into this next week and in fact moving into this next week I have a couple of little mini goals one is I'm about one Little less than one and a half pounds away from going into a new weight decade So that's my goal is to lose that to get into this new weight decade this next week And my second goal is because I'm finding that there are days that I'm a little bit more hungry And then I am eating above my points. I'm going to track in the lose it app So I'll put the name of that here on the screen for you guys It is free. You do not have to sign up for the premium of it It's kind of like my fitness pal, but I find it to be Easier to track your food in and also a little bit more aesthetically pleasing I'm going to track my calories for this entire next week I want to know how many calories I'm eating every day and do does those calories Fluctuate even though I'm staying within my smart points. I'm super curious about this And I've done a little bit of trial and error with this a couple weeks ago I kind of started to track my calories and see how it went But I'm going to diligently track them every single day Well, not Saturday the day I use my weeklies, but Sunday through Thursday And I want to see if I'm eating within My recommended calorie range within my points on kind of a cleaner approach to WW So it's going to be very interesting So next week during the weigh-in I'm going to share with you the results of this little test Where I am tracking my calories and we'll talk a little bit about calories versus points when it comes to choosing whole Food versus processed sugar-free fat free lower point food in general. So I'm excited to kind of Test this out and see what happens this next week So really happy about my weight loss really motivated to jump down into that next decade and really Excited for this trial with testing these calories out So that is my plan for this next week.
