Changes for this week:
This week Weight Watchers 360 was released and so each month will have a focus. This month is focusing on routines. If you change your daily habits and things become a routine then it will be easier to live and keep with the program. This week's focus is on snacks and making sure you carry snacks with you to curb hunger and avoid temptation. This week I am going to make sure I follow through with this and keep healthy, low point snacks, on me. I think this will help with the holiday season and there being more treats in the office.
Also, I plan to make exercise a habit. I am going to be using my elliptical and exercising needs to become a routine! Today I walked outside for 2.5 miles and it was great! The elliptical will be great as it gets colder.
I need to read my materials for the new 360 program and I received my ActiveLink today so I will post more on both later.
The last thing you should feel is shame! You lost 20 pounds and that is an accomplishment. When you have a big number to lose it is easy to forget that but go pick up two 10 pound bowling balls. You will be amazed at how heavy they are. Also, no matter how slow the progress is, you are still way ahead of every person still sitting on the couch. I understand how you feel. I've been there. I got up to 275. That's the number I was at when I started paying attention. I may have been higher than that. I've been at this for a year and the number one thing i have learned is that this is a long process and it is a lifestyle. On days like today when you are discouraged remember that and remember that you already lost 20 pounds. So no matter what, you're better than you were. Besides you already did the hard part. You made up your mind to change and you're doing something about it. That takes a lot. The rest will come.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I really appreciate you commenting and the motivation is appreciated! I know it is great to lose 20lbs and I keep telling myself that at least I lost that and did not gain it. I think what got to me was the pictures, really can see how badly I need to lose weight, but I will use it for motivation to change for the better! Thanks!
