Weekly WI:Full Steam Ahead With All In Mode

 It’s been a full week utilizing Weight Watcher’s new All In Mode.  While I’m not still entirely sure how the new Weight Health Score works, I am finding my grove with All In Mode.  I still don’t love tracking everything but I’ve found a good enough balance.

I tracked all week, including the days I went over my daily points.  I wasn’t sure what expect with no Weekly Points Budget on the All In Mode.  As it turns out…nothing happens.  You simply stay at 0 points left from your daily balance and on the right, your used totals all points used for the day.  At first, I thought this might have impacted my Weight Health Score.  All I really can do is follow the big number it displays.  I thought the number dropped but the next day, the overall Weight Health Score had risen.  I have no idea why or what causes the changes.

This morning my score is up to 54.  WhoooHooo!  I started adding in activity so I suspect that is what is helping to increase my score.

Oh yea, I don’t love tracking my sleep.  But again, I’m trying.

I didn’t weigh in last week as I assumed it would be up after our quick Vegas trip.  I don’t have real data from stepping on the scale this week, a maintain from two weeks ago, so we will see if the scale is down on Tuesday.  I will keep at this All In Mode as I start to re-build my activity routine.  We are talking about habit building in our Workshops this week and identifying the first step.  I spent some time on Tuesday pre-planning my activity through February 1 which includes making my return to the gym.

All In Mode

Good Afternoon and Happy Wednesday!  I am about to finish my workday, working today in exchange for having last Sunday off, and I stayed up waaaaay too late last night.  I’m tired.

 

::yawn::

 

I had lofty goals to go home and log some activity minutes but that was early morning Lindsay.  Afternoon Lindsay is too tired.  Thankfully we have a dinner plan in place to keep me semi-on track!

 

The Weight Watcher app updates have not rolled out as far and wide as our members would like.  I barely got the update around launch day.  I decided this morning to try the All In Mode.  I’ve been debating back and forth for a week or so.

 

The only downside to the new All In Mode is having to track everything.  It has literally been one day I am tired of weighing, measuring, and tracking my Zero Point foods.  The other side of the coin is perhaps I need this extra effort to make the scale move back down.  I was thinking this morning while getting ready for work, I would love to lose just 10 pounds.  Boy would my clothes fit better!

 

I started my CPM (Certified Public Manager) course last week and we snuck away for a few days to Vegas near the end of the week.  Vacation was not nearly long enough but the temps were brutally cold in Vegas.  I’ll give you a quick recap soon.

 

I need to utilize this space more and once I am in a better headspace, I hope I’ll also get my spark back with weight loss, activity, and blogging!

 

Checking In - Sorry For The Absence

How has it been over two weeks since I last checked in?  Where the heck does the time go?  Sorry for the absence!

 

I haven’t had a lot of luck bringing my daily points target below 25.  It is always a work-in-progress.  I had a nice loss two weeks ago and gained back 0.6 last week.  The Hubs is interested in getting healthier, which will be great to have an accountability partner and support.  We both want to drop some weight.  It is time.

 

Speaking of The Hubs, he had a birthday!  I warned him when I completed this year’s holiday photo card that it getting harder to find photos with both of us in the shot and I’ll have to start using AI to create one.  That said, I really did use AI and made a birthday party hat photo.  I have his permission to share…

We celebrated Christmas with the family and rang in the New Year at the Elks. 

 

It is nose to the grind at work with evaluation season upon us.  Somedays have me wishing for retirement, no set commitments, and control of my own time.  I do way too much now I can only imagine how busy retirement will be!  I’ve been searching for a “fun” hobby for a few weeks and since I’m impulsive, I bought an accordion.  It is a work in progress and will take a lot of time to learn.  I’m still on the fence if this will be a fun new hobby or an expensive mistake.
