 Hi friends, welcome back to my channel and happy happy friday Also, welcome if you are new here. It is just before 6 30 a.m. And I just pulled in to my ww workshop So i'm gonna go in stay for the workshop way in but before I head in as always I want to share with you guys a little bit about my week So I had a pretty darn good week you guys to be honest. I had a good week I'm so incredibly proud of myself. I made it to jazzer size four days four I was actually going to go five, but I was so sore I mean So sore on tuesday that there was no way that I would have made it through my workout on wednesday That would have been my third day in a row and there was just truly honestly no way I was so sore in fact. I'm still sore today And I haven't been to jazzer size since tuesday So I don't know it's kicks my booty, which is always always a good thing But it's not a good thing to be sore out way in so that's always a struggle for me every week Is coming here to weigh in knowing that my body is still tired and sore from the working out, but I don't care the working out is the most important thing to me I feel so much stronger healthier much more fit and Nonscale victory you guys my clothes are fitting so much better. Have I lost a ton of pounds? No But all that exercise is just toning up my body and my clothes are fitting so much better, which is so incredibly exciting So jazzer size I will be your best friend for life because I love it In fact, I'm going to be going today to the 810 class as soon as I get out of my workshop And as far as my food went you guys my food went pretty good I did have a donut on saturday and we went out to eat twice on saturday twice Once to the texas roadhouse and once to mckinsey river pizza with some friends But I still feel like the rest of my week went really well So all of the exercise and being on track the rest of the week will make up for that Saturday, which is the day that I use my weekly So it's not like I went totally crazy and use my weeklies times two That's the day that I use my weekly. So that's kind of an internet shell how my week went We'll talk a little bit more about things when I get out of my workshop But I'm going to go ahead and head in way in and I'll be back to share with you what we discussed and how my way in went Friends welcome back it is now daylight and I'm out of my w w workshop What a great topic this week you guys we talked about zero point foods If you have not seen my video I posted yesterday where I answered your top 10 questions on w w Highly highly recommend you go check that video out I am going to link it down in the description box below for you guys I literally answer your top 10 most frequently asked questions about the program Whether you've been doing it for one month or 10 years Highly recommend you check out this video and I do talk a little bit about zero point foods in this video So this kind of piggybacks with that But today we talked all about zero point foods and how do we utilize those in our w w journey zero point foods are the foundation and an absolute staple on w w most of your meals should be built around and or include zero point foods So w w has six tips for you on how to incorporate a little bit more zero point foods Into your eating which is going to help you keep full and satisfied and be successful on your weight loss journey So number one is to build your meal around zero point foods Now you can actually work this one of two ways You can decide what zero point proteins say or in vegetable Maybe that you want to have for your meal and then you can add a pointed food to that to create a well-rounded meal Or you can do that the opposite way you can decide what pointed food you want to have say that's a potato Or rice or maybe a bag of chips with your lunch And then you can add your zero point foods to build a meal around the pointed food Either way zero point foods should be included in all meals Breakfast lunch dinner and even in your snacks if you're going to have an afternoon snack Maybe a hard boiled egg for zero points paired with a bag of pretzels for three points So zero point foods are essential essential on this journey And you can really work your meals one of two ways either around the zero point food Or around the pointed food of that meal and then add your zero point foods to bulk it up and keep you full As you know, we do not have to track zero point foods on w w Now you can track them for your own peace of mind if you want to see exactly what you're eating throughout the day But it is not something that w w encourages or suggests is to track those zero point foods So in order to still lose weight and not overeat you do have to watch your portions Whether that's a zero point food or a non zero point food portion control and watching your portions is so important on w w So when it comes to zero point foods take a serving a serving of chicken breast a serving of vegetables A serving of fruit eat that and if you're still hungry you can incorporate a little bit more of those zero point foods Until you are full and satiated It's not recommended that you take 10 ounces of chicken When you don't necessarily need or want or are hungry enough for 10 ounces of chicken So it's just important that you start with a serving of those zero point foods And then you add to that as needed so that you're full and you're satisfied Number three is going out to eat. So let's say that you're planning a great out to dinner on saturday Lean on your zero point foods for the week prior to going out to dinner Make sure that you're incorporating more zero point foods so that you not over not only have rollover points For your meal out on saturday, but you also can preserve and save your weeklies to indulge in that going out to dinner on saturday So you can lean on those zero point foods so that you do have extra points to splurge on the things that Are important to you during the week whether that's going out to dinner Or maybe you want to have a pizza night on friday night at home And you want to have a 10 11 12 15 point pizza at home You can save up your rollovers and weeklies by leaning more on your zero point foods During the week to save up for that special meal or that special event Number four is leaning on your zero point foods for snacks so when you're hungry and you're snacky lean on your zero point foods fruit vegetables hard boiled eggs nonfat greek yogurt topped with a little bit of granola or mix in a little bit of sugar free jello Lean on your zero point foods for your snacks That way you're able to save up your points for your meals throughout the day And like i mentioned before maybe having part of your snack be a zero point food say a hard boiled egg Then that leaves you points to indulge in that little bag of pretzels Or maybe you want to have a sugar free pudding cup or a string cheese So lean on your zero point foods not only for your meals, but also for your snacks throughout the day Number five in my opinion is the most important And if you're going to take one thing away from these six tips number five is the one to take away Do not only eat zero point foods zero point foods were not designed to be the only thing that you eat throughout the day Not only is it not sustainable, but you are going to become extremely bored Extremely fast on your eating program if all you're eating is zero point foods They are made to be the basis of your meals and snacks Not the only thing that you consume throughout the day Especially and this is a huge one especially don't just eat zero point foods all day So that you can indulge in non-healthy choices such as cookies or cake or pizza or hamburgers and french fries Don't just eat zero point foods so that you can go have a 35 point fast food meal for dinner Not only is that counter productive health wise It's also counter productive weight loss wise because zero point foods still have calories So inevitably you're going to be eating more calories than you should that day by eating all zero point foods And then splurging on a meal or a snack or a treat So make sure again that your zero point foods are the foundation of your meals Not the only thing that you eat throughout the day And number six is check out the ww app and discover some fun new zero point foods and meals Maybe you want to make a zero point vegetable soup and you're going to pair that with a slice of delicious Warm buttery sourdough bread make sure again that you're not only eating zero point foods at your meals But you're using those as the base and then you're incorporating some of your other favorite foods That do have points such as that buttery slice of bread or maybe a half of a cup of rice Or some french fries in your air fryer with your zero point turkey burger So make sure that you're just again using them as a base That's the one takeaway is don't just eat your zero point foods But also try to find some recipes that are zero points so that you compare them with some of your favorite pointed foods I think this is a fantastic topic. I actually get this question a lot a lot Is zero point foods how much zero point foods should I be eating should I be tracking those? What's the serving size? So I think the fact that ww has taught us some six tips and tricks on zero point foods is amazing I love ww you guys. I really truly do It has such a place in my heart because it is such a well rounded program It is not a diet. It is a lifestyle It is something you can sustain and do forever Unlike these diets where you don't eat any carbs or any sugar any this or any that It's great to lose weight But generally when you go off of that plan or you start to reintroduce those foods into your diet You gain the weight back and ww doesn't make us take anything away And they are teaching us healthy eating habits with these zero point foods If you use the zero point foods and incorporate them into your diet correctly So way to go on this topic this week ww So let's jump into my weigh-in like I mentioned before I went in I had a good food week I had a good exercise week. I am still sore. I don't you guys it's The struggle is real with the soreness even though I haven't worked out for two days My legs are still a little bit sore So i'm actually excited to go to jazzer size today to get the stretching in and kind of get another workout in And loosen up these muscles a little bit So I'm heading to jazzer size here shortly, but I wanted to let you guys know how my weigh-in went So when I stepped on the scale today, I lost one pound. I'll take it One pound is amazing. I'm grateful for that Especially considering that I'm still sore. So I'm happy happy about a one pound loss. So yay So that puts me at one pound loss so far for the month of february So january was a good month for me february starting off is a good month for me I do have a few goals for this upcoming week My goal is to do again a minimum of four days of jazzer size so Friday saturday monday and tuesday and if i'm not on my deathbed with soreness I will go to jazzer size again on wednesday, which gives me five days a week I do not work out on sunday because that is my meal prep day Or thursday because I've learned my lesson about working out before I weigh in the next day So that is my plan as far as exercise goes My husband and I are going out to dinner tomorrow saturday So that's the day that I will use my weeklies and my goal for the rest of this upcoming week Is to utilize my zero point foods in a little bit different fashion Build my meals around my zero point foods and also select my non zero point food item And add in my chicken breasts and my veggies and my fruits to make a well rounded meal I would like to get six dots six six blue dots not just dots but six blue dots this week Which should show great on the scale next friday So that is kind of my goals for this upcoming week So what I want to hear from you guys down in the comments is what's your thought on zero point foods? How do you utilize them? Do you use them as your base and then add your pointed foods? Or do you figure out your pointed foods first and then add in your zero point foods? How do you utilize them?
