It feels
foreign to me to not eat all my daily points.
When the new WW Freestyle program rolled out, one of the changes
included not having to eat all your daily points. I believe this to be because prior programs
created a large calorie deficit and thus, you needed to eat all the points
offered to you to maintain a healthy caloric intake. With Freestyle, there is so many 0 SPV foods
that it is assumed you will be eating
more of them than other foods and thus meeting your caloric intake without
having to eat all your points.
Obviously,
this isn’t an actual science and each person needs to find what works for
them. Typically, I need to eat all my
points to encourage weight loss so I really don’t know what will happen this
week. I want to think that less
food/points will help me get a jump on weight loss again but I really have no
idea. I’ll just keep plugging away and
see what Tuesday WI brings.
Since I
stopped drinking my afternoon ice coffee from home, I’ve saved myself 3 SPV a
day. And, if I don’t have any other
coffee throughout the day, I can save up to 6 SPV. I haven’t replaced this with other foods so I’m
hoping this will be the deficit I’ve been missing. I’ve also made some other food decisions this
week and watched my points closer. Last
night, I made an all 0 SPV dinner by grilling chicken on the BBQ and then
warming up some green beans and frozen corn.
Dessert was a large amount of watermelon.
I had 11 DSPV left so I added real butter to
my corn. I ended my day with 10 points
leftover. I’ve also earned a blue dot
each day this week.
Building
on my success each day feels really good.
I am working a 12-hour shift today and Kenyon and I are meeting at
Sizzler for dinner. I’ll do some
pre-tracking and am planning to have the steak and salad bar deal. I was going to use today as a rest day from
activity but I ended up on the side of the room with the treadmill so I might as
well make good use of it and get my 30 minutes of activity done for the
day.
Seize the
day!
