Weekly WI: Downward Trend Continues

Good Afternoon!  Happy Thursday.  

I am hosting a Fiesta Party tonight so I’m in full party prep mode.  I need to make sure I get out for a walk before my day really gets rocking!

My Weekly Weigh-In was right on track for where I want to be.

I would really like to lose one pound a week until Girls Weekend in September and this week was a success.  I’ve been working really hard and staying focused along the way.  This week has some social challenges.  I was thinking my Fiesta Party was my only pre-planned high point day this week and that was my focus.  I remembered that I an also attending a coworker’s wedding this Saturday and organized a taco bar at work on Sunday for my staff, the troopers, and Fish and Game officers.  So, a little bit more than I original planned for.

Tuesday and Wednesday were on point with a blue dot although I did go into my weekly points, which I was hoping I’d have rollover points to add to my weekly budget instead.  It was a hungry couple of days but we made it through.  

My commitment to tracking, portion control, and balancing is what will make my week shake out pretty well.  I think at this end of this week if I see a maintain at the scale, it will be a win in my book.  I don’t want to see the scale climb back up even though there is a lot going on this week.

Have a fabulous Thursday.

4th Of July Check-In

We are wrapping up this week and it has been another good one.  I had a high point day on Tuesday and have been on track each day since.

I really like having whole wheat pasta again and find I feel fuller longer when I eat whole grains.  I am also working my way through a WW online training and the nutritional section reminded me that our body needs all those good nutrients from whole grains.  This could be my sweet spot I’ve been looking for.

I have also been working on that activity too and really pushing myself on intensity, distance, or time.  I did another double dose of activity yesterday with both an upper body weight FitOn workout as well as a walk/talk with my favorite gal Dawny.  I did a nice good stretch too with my PT moves so I can keep those muscles lubricated.

It has been a busy weekend at work but manageable.  Mostly it has been a lot of traffic stops.  Tonight is the BIG day…Happy 4th!  Tonight has the potential for more DUIs and sometimes disturbances or traffic complaints with the big firework shows and traffic snags afterwards.  Let’s do this!  Please be safe.

I spent a little time this morning looking for my WW Wins and seeing what I could redeem some points for freebie items.  I decided on a flip wallet, which ways there is credit card slots for four cards (not showing I the photo) which I think will be nice when I switch over to my travel purses.

Speaking of travel purse, I spent some overtime money on a new mini Coach purse that will be perfect for a night out or on our next cruise.  

I usually carry just my phone, cruise card, and some gambling money when I am on a cruise ship so this cute purse will be just the right size.  Oh boy do I love purple AND Coach signature Cs.  Hey, might as well spend my money on some fun stuff.

Have a great 4th of July holiday and please, please, please…be safe!

Hello July

It’s a new month.  

I just wrapped up my Friday Virtual WW Workshop.  Coach Cindie said today is the halfway point of 2022 and asked us about the first half of our year.  Since I’ve been struggling with the scale going up since March, I choose to see July a the turning point for 2022.  I finally feel like I have a handle on my gain and nothing standing in my way.  It is nice to make July count.

That starts with focusing more on earning those blue dots as many times as possible in July.  There has always been a direct correlation between earning blue dots and weight loss/weight maintenance.

I also plan to focus on activity.  I want to get in a couple days of strength training and long walks.  I finished up my Apple Watch Activity Challenge in June and the July goal has been set.

The turning point…I got this!
