 The cake the quarantine cake got me Hi friends, welcome back to my channel and happy Friday. How are you guys doing? Myself doing pretty good, but there has been a little bit of struggle this last week for the first time since this quarantine I had a week where I struggled I did have a couple of wins so I was able to get in a lot of activity I did jazzer size three times this last week and yesterday I got 10,000 steps just working in my yard and putting together our new patio set And today i'm going to be again working in my yard washing windows So i'll get quite a bit of activity in today And I may go on a walk as well because we're supposed to be in the 70s So the wind is my activity the wind is the weather but The cake you guys the cake during the quarantine got me this week I struggled this week for the first time since this started. I struggled. I struggled with Snacking I was just a snacker all week and I brought food into my house Aka cake that I know I shouldn't bring into my house. I know this I know that I shouldn't have foods that I overeat in my house Thank goodness the cake is gone and I now no longer have any Trigger foods or foods that I tend to overeat in my house Which is exactly what I know I should be doing but it got me this last week. I ate A lot of cake a lot. It was one of those small Round individual cakes that you can buy at your local bakery over the course of the week I ate the entire thing granted it was small But still you guys it had six servings at 300 calories per serving and I couldn't even begin to tell you How many points now this is not common for me because I have been eating really really clean I don't know what it was about this cake. The rest of my food this week was great I ate all clean whole food. I did probably eat more than I should of those clean foods But it was the cake the cake got me goodness gracious that cake So now that it's gone. It's done and over with I'm willing to take whatever the scale wants to tell me today So I am going to go ahead and weigh in log that in my ww app I'm going to attend the virtual workshop and I'll be back to share in my weigh-in results And the virtual workshop and what we talked about so I will be back. Stay tuned my friends. Hi friends. Welcome back I just finished up at my virtual workshop. It's so fun I feel still really connected to my group Because of zoom and being able to see each other and and interact and I like the physical aspect of it Where we can see each other and talk to each other So it was a fantastic workshop. We talked about tracking and what we can do during this time to continue tracking and why Tracking right now is so important So I just wanted to share with you a little bit about what we discussed in our virtual workshop They gave us some great tips and tricks when it comes to tracking And why again tracking is so important right now and one of the main points that we stressed during the workshop was Like our food and what we're eating tracking is actually something we can control right now With all of the unknowns and the things we can't control We actually have tracking that we can control We can control what we put in our mouth and we can control writing what we're eating Down in our tracker and not just our food but our activity our water Anything that you feel like if you write down and track it's going to help you during this crazy time Tracking also helps us stay on track Gives us accountability and let's us see what we're eating So whether it's on plan or not if you track it you have a visual of what you ate that day So you can look back and take note of the things that maybe you want to eat in the future And maybe things you don't want to eat in the future like cake Like cake So writing it down gives us that accountability and allows us to see and use for a future reference What we ate maybe one week that benefited us and what we ate that didn't benefit us And I think even putting it in your tracker is such a huge amount of accountability if it's outside of your points Putting it down on paper is rough or in your tracker. However you track your food. It's hard It's hard to see us go over our points But I think it's a big reality check for us as well So I think it's really important to track the good the bad the ugly Also right now we're stuck at home and we kind of have all the time in the world to be honest with you So this is a good time to get in the habit of tracking So take time every day to track your food Sometimes I will track all my food first thing in the morning if I know what I'm eating that day That helps me stay on track as well Knowing that it's already in my tracker and that is what I'm eating today period point blank period. That's what I'm eating today Great to track it first thing in the morning for me sometimes and other times I'm just not sure what I'm going to eat that day or I may be out for a meal Like I may have an errand to run and pick up some lunch or support a local business So those times I track as I go But honestly, we don't have an excuse not to track right now We have all the time in the world to open up our tracker and write down or track our food for the day So I think that's starting that habit now if you are someone that struggles with tracking Getting into the habit now while we're stuck at home. It's super important It's just going to develop a habit that you'll be able to continue once life kind of goes back to normal So another thing to track that isn't food related is our weight So I think it's important to still weigh in on your home scale every single week Before your workshop pick the same day the same time in the same clothes or no clothes whatever you prefer And track your weight put it into your app or however you track it Just like you would if you were at your ww workshop I know for me if I don't have to weigh in at my workshop I'm a little more lax during the week and I don't know if it's a mental thing But I don't have to step on the scale in front of someone or step on the scale at all So I'm like, huh, hallelujah. I'll eat what I want all week And that's not the mentality that we want to get ourselves into right now So continuing to weigh on the same day at the same time is super important track it in your tracker It's going to adjust your points as well And you're going to be able to see a trend over this time stuck at home And I think that that's really really important There's no reason that we shouldn't continue to weigh in just like normal if we were attending a workshop Or if you are an online only member just like normal continue to weigh in and track your weight during this time And lastly maybe spend some time journaling again all the time in the world my friends every day Write down some things that you're proud of from the day before and some things that you want to work on that day And I think that writing those down It's another form of tracking writing down our goods our bads Our goals is another way to stay on track and continue to track those things So just drawing down a couple words sentences every morning on the things you did well And the things you want to work on is another great habit that we can get into while we're at home So continuing to track our food track our water our activity our weight and spend some time in our journal every day Is a great way to track our progress during this quarantine time It's important for us to focus on the things we can control and again I think I say this every week honestly in my weigh-in video is this is the one thing in our life We can control and the one thing that can be consistent and constant for us is our food and our weight loss and our WW program so it's no better time than now to really focus on our program And I feel like I've done a really good job up until this week On my program I feel like I've done a really good job saying on track I've actually had a loss every single week throughout the quarantine. So it's doable It's just whether or not that's where you put your focus and your energy So of course, I know that not everything is smooth sailing for everyone And we all have to do what we have to do during this time And again, if that means putting your program on the back burner that means putting your program on the back burner But again control what you can control Track your food the good the bad track Track all the things during this time and it's just going to develop a solid habit for you when life goes back to normal So that is what we talked about in our virtual workshop is tracking our progress and I enjoyed it I think it's great and I think it was kind of eye-opening to me to say Hey of all times to get into some good habits. It's now the tracking habit the journaling habit Whatever it may be. This is a great time to get into and develop some new long-lasting habits So I'm going to take that with me this next week and speaking of habits I am getting back on track myself this week you guys and going back to the habit I've had this entire time of tracking my food staying on track eating whole clean food because of the cake debacle The cake debacle It's over the cake's gone. I'm not going to dwell on it. I'm going to move on It's a beautiful day today And I'm going to focus on a new set of weeklies and a new set of points because I gained 1.2 this week This is the first gain I have had in weeks and I think it's only the second gain I've had in the year of 2020 thus far. So I'm mad at myself that I let that cake number one enter my house Number two enter my mouth and that I continued to eat that cake throughout the week So I deserve every 1.2 pounds and to be completely honest with you. I thought it was going to be more so I'm going to take it and I'm going to take it as a lesson learned And I'm going to get right back on track today. I already had a healthy eating all the time in gobar for breakfast I brought a water and I have a banana And I'm going to go ahead and sip on my water and eat my breakfast while I continue to edit and upload this video And I am back on track today So 1.2 up this week darn cake, but I'm back. I want to hear how your guys's week went How are you doing with tracking eating your points staying on track kind of developing these new habits throughout this time That will be beneficial for us in the long run.
