Every time I step on the scale I am afraid to be disappointed by seeing my weight go up instead of down. I did not expect much at all this week because we ate out, I had molten lava cake, I ate Reeses pieces last night, papa Murphy's earlier in the week, and ate a weight watchers ice cream almost every night this week. So this morning I step on the scale and I lost 3 pounds this week!! And I am officially down 5%! Haha this diet is AWESOME!
The trick is to be smart on your decisions. When we ate out I researched the menu and found out all the points first to allow half of the cake. When I ate reeses pieces I measured out a serving on my food scale and put it in a bowl and put the bag away so I wouldn't be tempted to go back for more. And with Papa Murphy's they have their menu online with nutrition facts. A regular pizza slice is like 15 points per slice! The thin crust pizza is only 6 points per slice. So when Adam is craving pizza we just get a thin crust instead.
My normal breakfast is 3 egg whites, a banana, and a cup of light yougart. Egg whites are 1 pt, banana is 0 and the yogurt is 2 or 3 depending on the brand so a grand total of 4 points and I am completely full!
Weight Watchers tracker online gave me another pop up saying that I was loosing to fast as had to go to the dr and talk about what I am doing wrong. I went to the doctor yesterday morning and he said good job! He said I am doing things right with cardio everyday (well 5 days/ week) and weight training two of those days. The only thing he suggested was trying to drink more water...which wouldn't that make me lose more weight a week?
wow that is awesome. It is totally true that portion control and excersize are the true keys to success...i totally agree! There is nothing wrong with losing weight fast as long as you're doing it healthy. and no the water won't necessarily make you lose more weight but it will help your body to remove yucky toxins and fat instead of just pulling from your muslcle for fluid....i LIVE for the wylers light or crystal light mixes, makes drinking water sooo much easier and while i'm not doing weight watchers i should think the points would be zero or pretty close to it.
ReplyDeleteYes Vera Flavors are zero points. I deffinitly drink more water when I flavor it because I know which bottle is mine or that its not an old bottle- weird excuse. I was talking with a trainer at the gym today during a class and he said if I loose weight to fast my skin wont have a chance to shrink back and will be flabby.
ReplyDeleteGood enough excuse for me! When is your next cycle?
Go Katie! You are so motivating. I came sooo close to signing up for the Biggest Loser, too but I was a day too late for the last casting in LA. Oh well. Hopefully by the next season's casting I will have lost most of my weight and won't even qualify for it anymore! :)
