Weekly WI: Another Gain...But It's Okay. I Have A Plan!

Hello and Happy Wednesday.

 

I am working my overtime shift until 2 a.m.  Our night shift was understaffed, and I signed up for some night shift overtime to help during July.  While most Wednesdays it works out okay, there are some that staying up so late is a struggle.  Let’s hope my afternoon nap helped me today.

 

My Weekly WI went better than I had expected.  I’m sure you can see why I was worried.

 


After a 1.8 pound gain last week, I had waaaaaaay more days outside my points budget.  In fact, I ended the week with -153+ weekly points.  If that tells you anything.  I’ll take the 0.4 pound gain!  And I’m also making some changes this week.

 


Water Before Coffee: I started building this habit after our weekly technique two weeks ago.  I shared with my members that when I get downstairs from getting ready for work in the morning, I am ready for coffee and have trouble drinking water first.  I realized I could drink my water while I was getting ready and thus, would have my water done and am able to enjoy my coffee.  This is a habit I plan to continue this week and beyond.

Get Back To The Gym: I planned to return to the gym last week and that didn’t happen.  I also have not resumed exercise since I was sick a month or so ago.  This week, my goal is to get back to the gym!  I have signed up for a fitness class on Thursday so I can’t back out.  I also put in my calendar an EGYM appointment today and Saturday.  Today didn’t happen as planned and while I didn’t get to the gym, I went for a 30-minute walk. 

Meal Planning: One of my biggest hurdles last week was social situations and not enough planning ahead.  I have two new recipes to try this week, both Instant Pot and easy, and I have a meal idea for two more which including cooking ground beef once for two recipes: WIN-WIN!  I have social plans on Friday so that will be my high point day.  The rest of the week, I’d like to keep my points/calories in check.

 


I hope you all are having a great week.
