I had a busy week a little bit of a stressful week But overall I had a pretty good week in wednesday's what I eat in a day I shared a major major really life changing health update with you If you haven't seen wednesday's what I eat in a day, I will link that down below for you It'll give you a little bit of perspective of where I am on my weight loss journey How i'm going to be moving forward here on my channel. Definitely check out wednesday's what I eat in a day I feel like despite the stress and the craziness of this time of year I'm doing really well on my eating. I will be honest with you I'm not tracking as well as I should be there are meals that I miss when it comes to tracking There's whole days that I don't track, but I am being very very mindful. I'm watching my portions I'm doing my absolute best stay in my calories and my ww points So I feel like overall I'm doing really well when it comes to my food my exercise as usual is good I'm getting two to three days a week in of jazzer side and I'm just feeling overall really good I'm down 75 pounds as of last week I shared that exciting announcement in last week's weigh-in and I'm definitely starting to feel It even a little bit more like I'm feeling leaner lighter on my feet My body just doesn't hurt as much as it did even 10 pounds ago So I'm reaping the rewards of my long road and my hard work over the last couple of years So of course, I'm going to be sharing this week's weigh-in with you But I do want to talk to you guys a little bit about this week's ww workshop topic And that is how to get the most out of your points budget. This is a very important topic I get asked a lot. How do you stay within your points? Oh my gosh? I'm so hungry I feel like I go through my point so fast So all of these tips and tricks are definitely going to help you out If you are one of the people that feel like it's really hard to stay in your points every day Remember with personal points, your plan is personal to you You can optimize your daily points by picking the zero point foods that you eat most often Now I remember I did share with you guys that I chose avocado as a zero point food for me But as the weeks have went on, I'm just not eating avocado every single day So I'm at the point where I need to Repersonalize my zero point foods to make best of my daily points I may opt for things like rice or oatmeal instead of avocado for zero points Since I tend to be eating those pretty regularly But that's one great thing about the new program is it's personal to you You can really optimize how many points you get every single day So some tips on how to do that is number one to focus on what really matters Focus on the meal that matters the most to you. Is it Sunday brunch? Is it your Saturday date night with your husband? Do you have a lot of parties and events coming up that you need to optimize Your points and calories for those tip number two is to visualize your meal And this is actually a pretty powerful tip Think in advance what you're going to consume at that event and plan the rest of your day around that How much of the dessert are you going to eat? How many appetizers are you going to have? How many adult libations are you going to have? Visualize what your plate is going to look like at the event And that goes hand in hand with tip number three, which is to pre-track Whatever you can pre-track if you know that you're going to have one glass of wine Pre-track that if you know that you're going to have a piece of pie for dessert Pre-track that do your best to pre-track your heaviest or your highest point meal every single day And then you can build the remaining meals and snacks around the points that you have left And then when it comes to that event or that big meal, you're not out of points You've pre-planned for that and then you've worked the rest of your day around it And number four is manage whatever leftover points you have This goes back to what I was just talking about Pre-track your biggest meal or your point heaviest meal or your most calorie dense meal of the day And then you'll know what's leftover essentially for you to use throughout the rest of the day So that you can manage and plan your other meals and snacks accordingly That way you're not going into that big meal or that party with no points leftover Or no calories leftover you've pre-planned your day where you've still nourished your body You've eaten all your meals, but you've saved up for that special meal or event And remember that's what weekly points are for that's what activity points are for Is for all of these things that come up these parties these events Really all the things that happen over the holiday season and remember everything's on the menu with w w You just have to do a little prepping and planning in order to incorporate whatever it is That's put in front of you whatever food choices you have or maybe whatever cravings you need to satisfy It's all available to you on w w with a little fancy footwork a little bit of planning ahead And a little bit of maneuvering around you can definitely enjoy the holidays Enjoy events and get the most out of your daily and weekly smart points This topic comes at a perfect time because we're all invited to holiday parties and events I know for me that i'm already planning out what i'm going to do for christmas eve and christmas day and what meal We're going to be making what sweet treats are going to be on the table I'm already planning those out So i'm already one step ahead when it comes to getting the most out of my points budget Leading up to the holidays and then of course add any events that i'll be attending Over the course of the next month So now it is time to talk a little bit about my way in for the week Like I said, I feel really good about my food choices watching my portion control making good food choices I'm feeling lighter on my feet. I'm feeling lighter at jazz or size. I feel like it's still hard. I'm out of breath I'm sweaty, but I'm feeling lighter on my feet. It's really really hard to explain But hopefully you know what I'm talking about where you just feel lighter overall So when I stepped on the scale this week, I Lost again for the second week in the month of december I am down an additional 0.6 pounds, which means that I have lost 76 pounds total So i'm losing every single week. It is slow and steady for me I do talk a lot about this in my medical update So again, check that video out is down in the description box And we should see my weight loss increasing as we move into the new year with The results that were obtained from all of my medical testing blood work all the things Definitely check out that video for the four one one, but I'm excited for another loss I'm always happy to see the scale move in the right direction Especially during the holidays.
