 Friday it's Friday again. I had a fantastic week I hope you all are doing well staying safe and healthy and not bored out of your mind So my week went really well as you know, I continued on the purple plan for this week I'm gonna share with you my thoughts and my plan moving forward once I get out of the virtual workshop But overall my week went really well. I was able to stay on the purple plan the entire week I was able to work out twice I was hoping for three times, but it was a really really busy week for me real estate wise I've got a couple of offers going in we lost out on one put another one in so it just kind of consumed a lot of my week Real estate involves a lot of time and driving around So I wasn't able to get in my three workouts, but you know two workouts right now from home is a huge win So that's kind of in a nutshell how my week went I'm going to hop on the scale record my weight attend my virtual workshop and I'll be back to share the topic We talked about and this week's way in Welcome back. So this week's topic was excellent. We talked all about logging better sleep It is really important for us to get good sleep and right now during this time when we're at home a lot more I feel like we're either end of the sleep spectrum We're either somebody who gets a lot of sleep because we're bored Maybe potentially a little bit depressed So we're finding ourselves getting in a lot of sleep that we normally wouldn't get in if we went to work every day Or we're able to go out and about a little bit more or we're on the other end of the spectrum where the stress and anxiety of The pandemic allows us less sleep. We just can't get to sleep at night We can't stay to sleep at night So I think that sleep right now is really really important and I believe all of us fall on one end of the spectrum So for me, I feel like I'm kind of in the middle I feel like I'm getting the normal amount of sleep that I always have gotten I try to get at least seven Eight or nine hours of sleep every night, which is what is recommended for a healthy sleep amount of time Making sure we're getting enough sleep helps us in so many ways and really importantly right now It helps us with immune function. It makes our immune system function more effectively and right now That's really really important when we're not getting enough sleep We also tend to be more hungry and we're not steaming up some broccoli when we're more hungry We're we're reaching for chips cookies all the things that we shouldn't eat Body signals us that we're hungry and we generally don't have those signals for good quality food because we have a lack of sleep So sleep right now. I feel like it's more important than ever So I wanted to share with you some tips from ww on getting good quality sleep and WW now has a way to track sleep directly on our app So there is now a function in the WW app where you can track your sleep I'm going to try to insert finding that in your app here to help you guys out a little bit But I recommend at logging your sleep in the morning Logging the number of hours of sleep that you got that night Answering any questions related to your sleep and really evaluating how your sleep the night before went now I use my Fitbit to track my sleep. You can also use your fitness monitor your Apple watch your Fitbit Whatever you need to do to track your sleep I think it's important to see what sleep habits you've formed and where you can improve your sleeping habit So basically this will be your home screen for sleep on your app You're going to get a blue dot for nights that you sleep seven to nine hours Which is really really cool and that big number that you see is the total number of hours of sleep that you got So I think it's a great tool for us and just another way to really help us stay on track in our weight loss journey And again, if you're not someone that has a fitness tracker This is free as part of your WW app And I think it's really important to take advantage of it to at least see what type of sleep habit habits You have so once you actually track your number of hours of sleep again You'll be asked a series of questions that kind of help you track and see what habits of sleep that you have So again, I think it's great that Weight Watchers has given us this added tool to our app It's just one more thing that's inclusive in the WW app for us to use on our weight loss journey I know for me if I don't get enough sleep. I'm crabby. First of all I definitely feel more hungry or snacky throughout the day, which then leads me to make poor choices in food So just getting sleep is so important overall for our health But really important not only for our immune system, but for our weight loss journey as well Less sleep negatively affects every single one of us maybe just in a little bit different way But overall less sleep is not a positive thing on our mental health Our immune system our body or our weight loss journey So now let's talk a little bit about my week and just on a side note I was able to get eight hours of sleep last night I went ahead and did the math in my head really quick and I feel great Refresh and ready for today. So again sleep is super important So my week like I mentioned in the beginning went really really well. I was on the purple plan this week I continued one more week just to kind of see how I felt about the purple plan after my little Trial last week now. I did film my entire week on the purple plan I will link that video down below for you guys so you guys can check it out and see exactly how that week went Now this week I pretty much had the same thoughts feelings emotions about the purple plan as I had last week I still felt a little bit more restricted than I do on green and blue I felt a little bit like I needed to lean on those zero point proteins the chicken the fish that type of thing Versus choosing hamburger red meat pork chops that type of thing as well So I still felt that way this week on the purple plan now this week it seemed to be a little bit more of the norm so to speak and I was able to kind of flow through this week a Little bit better than I did last week And I think it's just because this is week two of being on the purple plan I found myself not as hungry this week as I was last week and again I think my body just was sort of starting to adapt to being on the purple plan and eating those foods and Those amount of calories speaking of calories I made sure that I ate all 24 points every single day and Double-tracked my calories and the overall result for the week was I was in more of a calorie deficit than I wanted to be Most days and that all depended on what foods I chose for my points now I ate a lot of the zero point foods of course They were the foundation of all of my meals, but what snacks did I choose what desserts? Did I choose what added things to those zero point foods? Did I choose and the weeks that I maybe chose higher-pointed items that didn't have very many calories? I was in a severe calorie deficit really to the verge of maybe being an unhealthy calorie deficit I could go on and on about this and my thoughts But I'm wondering do you guys want me to show you a video where I track points in the different plans and Compare them to the calories and kind of show you Where we can be in a really large unhealthy deficit sometimes on WW if we're not filling in those gaps with zero point foods if you're interested in this video Definitely leave it in the comments if enough of you want to see it. I'll film it I think it's really important for us to make sure that we're not under eating as well as not over eating So I did find the calories to be a little bit concerning some days during this last week My exercise like I said, I got in two days I did get in quite a bit of steps the other days just you know doing things around my house But I certainly need to get back to my three days plus a week of doing Jazzercise So that wasn't a nutshell how my week number two went following the purple plan Am I going to continue the purple plan? Not right now I'm going to go ahead and go back to the blue plan. This was just a test run for me to see how I felt I'm not sure that I'm ready in a lot of aspects to transition over to the purple plan So I want to allow myself a little bit more time on my weight loss journey on the blue plan before I consider switching So right now I'm going to go ahead and remain on the blue plan I don't see myself switching back to the green plan So if there were any changes being made in the future as far as plans go It would definitely be transitioning to the purple plan So that is overall how things went this last week and my thoughts on what I'm going to be doing moving forward now Let's talk about my weigh-in. So when I stepped on the scale this week, I lost 1.2 pounds. Yay So that means I lost 1.2 last week and this week. So on the two weeks on the purple plan I lost a total of 2.4 pounds Right now. I'll take it. That is fantastic. I Feel great about that. I really really truly do and especially because The last two weeks haven't been my best for movement and exercise. I think 2.4 pounds in a couple weeks is fantastic I'll take it. I feel good about it I'm happy and I'm excited to see if I can throw another loss in this next week and to finish out the month of May strong Losing every single week. So I'm moving into this next week as strong as ever In fact, I am doing Jazzercise tomorrow morning Saturday at 8 10 a.m Live with my local instructor some of my really good friends from Jazzercise are going to be there Well virtually going to be there and I can't wait So I'm gonna start my week off extremely strong with Jazzercise first thing in the morning on Saturday Even though that's the day I use my weeklies I like getting in my workout because mentally I feel a little bit better about having it be my splurge day So that's the plan for tomorrow and I'm excited to stay on track for the next week So how are you guys doing?
