 Welcome back to my channel. Happy Friday. I'm in my car I am headed into my real estate office to attend my virtual WW workshop I go there on Fridays because my husband is off And I don't want to wake him up by talking and then of course I have to film my way and results and recap of the Workshop for you guys and I just feel bad if I'm in our house talking and filming and waking him up So I just head to the real estate office not to mention I cannot upload videos from my house I don't think that I've ever mentioned that but I live out of town a little bit kind of in the Country and my internet is fantastic other than uploading videos a video that takes me Five to ten minutes at the right real estate office takes me three hours at my house So I generally have to leave and drive in to town a little bit to upload my video So since I have to do that I figured why not just do these virtual workshops at my real estate office So I'm heading in there now so that I'm ready to go and see all my WW friends I'm actually really enjoying the virtual workshops. I will try to get a little bit of a snippet of the workshop for you If I can Without like looking like a creeper with my camera during the workshop So I'll see if I can get a little snippet for you guys But I wanted to hop on really quick and say good morning and let you guys know kind of how my week went I had a pretty darn good week now the last couple days I've been a little more hungrier than normal But that's because I'm getting close to my favorite time and I think that that's why my hunger has spiked a little bit But I had a pretty good week. I did jazz or size Twice I think I didn't do it as many times because we've been doing a lot of spring cleaning And I've just my body's been tired from all the running around and spring cleaning and I'm still not done I have to clean all the blinds in my house still so that'll be happening this weekend It may be doing some things out in the yard, but still getting in my jazz or size Still staying on plan still really trying during this time to focus on the one thing that I can control And that's my WW plan There's a lot of things right now that we can't control and for me My WW plan is something that I can so I've really been focusing on that So I'm gonna head out get to the office get set up for the virtual workshop And I'll be back to share what we talked about my way in we'll talk about kind of working WW right now And I have some tips and tricks for you guys, and I'll see you after my workshop and my way in Let's finish my virtual workshop as you saw it's actually not bad at all I just miss seeing everybody in person. That's the only part. That's not as great about the virtual workshops But I do very very much appreciate WW allowing us to do this and still stay connected and get all the valuable information that they share at the workshops This workshop was exceptionally great and it was talking about creating a new routine Creating a new normal and this is something that I've talked about in a few of my videos At this time with everything kind of up in the air of what's going to happen in the future How long are we going to be at home? How long are our favorite shopping stores? Workshops gym salons going to be closed. It's time that we have to really Think about creating a new routine something that we can stick with during the transition between our old routine And what will be our new regular routine once everything passes? So that was the topic today. There was some great information shared So of course, I want to share with you some of the information WW gave us as well as kind of my own thoughts and feedback on the subject So first we have to create new structure a new routine and to do that We have to decide what is important to us. What are some of the key things that are important to us? For example, they may be things such as food or your diet program your lifestyle program It may be your family your work and what about exercise So with those four components, how do you figure out what to do with them to create a new routine? So let's start first about food because that is something that we struggle with that's why we're here at WW So what do you do in this time to create a new routine with food? So some suggestions that I have as far as food goes is Continue to eat what you've always eaten and on the schedule that you've always eaten those foods on Don't bring foods into your house that you don't have any control over or that you struggle with portion size Make sure that you're doing exactly what you did prior to all of this do that same routine when it comes to food Meal plan meal prep we have extra time on our hands now because we can't go do all the fun Shopping and things that we did before so take advantage of this time And if you haven't already or if it's something you struggle with start meal planning and meal prepping Figure out what you're gonna make for the week so that when you go grocery shopping You're bringing in those healthy foods plan your meals prep some of your meals If you don't want to do the whole meal, maybe prep your veggies or your meats for the week So that it just makes staying on track a little bit easier The food is where we can really get ourselves into trouble. So I know for me I just can't bring those foods into my house because if I'm hungry or think that I'm hungry Those are the foods that I'm reaching for so continuing my normal, which is meal planning meal prepping Doing my grocery shopping as normal really helps me stay on track and feel like this is still a normal routine for me Continue to do your exercise and I know it's hard you guys trust me I know it's hard with all of the gyms and my beloved jazzer size being closed it's hard one to find activity to do that you love as much as the one you did before and To finding the motivation to continue doing that activity. There are so many activity options online So many gyms yoga studios jazzer size like you name it They've been offering free or reduced cost online workouts You can even go here on YouTube and find free workout. So for me I've been doing my jazzer size on demand even if I didn't go and pay for the monthly membership to jazzer size I would still do something online I literally you guys set my laptop up in my mud room grab my weights or water bottles Whatever I have on hand because I ordered weights, but they're not here yet and I grabbed those I put on my workout close my tennis shoes and I do all the things I did when I actually attended jazzer size that Creates a new normal and a new routine for me So if you don't have the option to do an online workout clean your house Do work in your yard the weather is getting better for most of us be outside Do some yard work some spring cleaning do all the things that you didn't have time to do before and guess what? You still get activity points for all of those it still counts as activity So take advantage of this down time and try to get in just a little more activity Then you would when you're working and running all the errands and shuffling kids to and from school Take advantage of this time to really bump up your activity also family Spend a little extra time with your family have a family game night spend a little extra time with yourself Do some self-care some face masks some bubble bath paint your nails your toenails Do a little bit of extra family time and self-care time all the things that we put on the back burner because we're so busy With all of the other pieces of life and right now This is the best time to take advantage of spending a little extra time with our family and a little extra time Even with ourselves and what about work for those of you that are working at home like myself You have to set up a routine with work as well Take breaks just like you would if you were in the office Take a lunch break and your work day at a certain time Commit to yourself to start work at one time and end it at another and take the same breaks as you would if You were in the office set up a new routine with work at home, and I know it's hard I know it's hard to work at home Sometimes you just lack that motivation to do all those things at home But take advantage of it and set yourself up a new schedule Another thing with that you guys is get up get ready for the day brush your hair brush your teeth Put your makeup on get out of your pajamas because pajamas equal relaxation And you're not going to be as motivated to get things done during the day if you're in your pajamas So get out of your pajamas put your clothes on get yourself all pretty up like you would if you were heading to work or running Some errands. I promise you you're going to feel a lot better and you're going to be a lot more productive So the second piece to creating a new routine is adapting your Outside activities like did you go to happy hour once a week with all your friends? Or did you have spa days with your family or your friends on the weekends? And unfortunately right now we just can't do those things so try to adapt new activity this whole virtual Zoom Skype FaceTime thing take advantage of that have weekly FaceTime Skypes Zooms with your friends zoom is free. You can get a whole group together like we do with the WW workshops Do a zoom? Virtual meetup every single week with your friends or your family try to stay connected Virtually but also physically like be able to see the person that you're talking to and engage with the person where you feel like You're one-on-one with them a little bit more than on the phone or texting So do take advantage of these online services that are free to stay connected with your friends and your family I know it's not the same as going out for a burger and a beer with your buddies But at least you get to see them interact with them and you feel a little bit more like things are normal and lastly stress When we're stressed a lot of us will eat Over-eating is very very common during this whole entire ordeal in fact I saw a meme on Facebook where it said the quarantine 15 like people are just anticipating to gain 15 pounds during the quarantine Don't be one of those people you guys set some boundaries when it comes to eating close the kitchen at a certain time I mentioned this last week. I closed the kitchen one half of an hour to one hour after I finished dinner I like to close my kitchen by about six o'clock I generally eat dinner between five and five thirty and I close my kitchen that way. I'm not tempted to overeat Also, just don't bring those things in to the house. It's really hard to go out and buy them So if you're at the store, just don't buy them Don't bring them into the house and then you're going to be a little less tempted to eat those things Continue to drink your water. We're at home. It's a very easy and water is very accessible So continue to drink water just drink more than you've ever drank before Because it's right there. It's accessible And it gives you something to do while you're watching tv or cleaning the house and really just focus on your water And lastly continue to weigh in Don't let the scale go if you are someone that weighs in once a week at your workshop or for your online Ww membership, don't let that routine go Continue to weigh in not only is it going to keep you on track during the week It's going to keep you motivated and it's going to keep you from gaining the quarantine 15 So those are the tips from ww on how to kind of create a new routine I have implemented a lot of these items myself and you guys I'm not saying this is easy It's not there are days that I just want to skip my online jazzercise because I don't have anybody meeting me at the class I don't have an instructor expecting me. I'm not physically getting into the car and driving to the class and completing the class I have to have enough self motivation to get my laptop Grab my workout clothes and go do my jazzercise on demand. I know it's hard you guys I know creating a new routine is hard when we're so set in our old routine I know that stress during this time can be really really hard on us And we just have to try to focus on what is positive. We are here for you I'm here for you guys my facebook group here on youtube watch videos get inspiration and motivation to stay on track. There are so many outlets for us for use of our time When we're stuck at home spend extra time with your kids or your family that you don't get to do on a regular basis Because you're so busy with the other facets of life So just focus on what you have that's positive right now and create a new routine that works for you That's really the part that's changed the most and that's the part that for me I'm struggling with you know, I miss my friends and family as much as the next guy so Just get a new routine going. I'm going to be working on that again this week But like I mentioned before I came in here for the workshop is my food's been pretty good I've been a little bit extra hungry, but I know why I know why So other than that I've been focusing on routine continuing to do jazzercise on demand I actually in my planner scheduled jazzercise on demand for myself three days a week that way I can't skip it. It's in my planner It's right in my face when I'm looking to plan my day So I my goals this next week is to do my jazzercise three times a week and continue my new normal my new routine And with that being said you guys I got on the scale this morning and I lost 1.2 pounds So the last two weeks of this new normal. I've lost 1.2 pounds each week for a total of 2.4 I'm so excited about that. I am going to put march's weight loss total here on the screen for you And I can't tell you guys how incredibly proud of myself that I am That I've been able to lose weight during this really stressful abnormal time I have goals to continue to do that. In fact today. I just entered into a new weight decade So that's very exciting for me gets me motivated to take off the next Whatever pounds to get into the next weight decade So set yourself some fun goals during this time weight loss related routine related And just create a new normal and a new routine for yourself So this next week I have jazzercise goals continuing to track my food Stay on plan do a little bit of extra activity around the house Like I mentioned some spring cleaning some yard work and just again working this new routine that I'm slowly but surely creating So before I go I want to ask you guys how you're doing. I hope that everyone is doing well I hope that you're able to create a new normal and a new routine for yourself And I just want to remind you that I am here for you guys with any questions concerns Definitely support us over on youtube I've noticed that myself and I've heard from other youtubers that We're not getting the views on our videos that we used to and that is bizarre to me because Most of us are at home.
