10-week challenge

Day 8 of 70! Week 2 of 10! My Health Challenge!

Leave a comment

Happy Monday & First day of Autumn!

Today is day 8 of my 70 day health challenge, the beginning of week 2 of 10! Last week went really well, I even stayed on plan over the weekend. This led to a 3lb weight loss!

For this Challenge, I am mostly following the Weight Watchers plan with the tweak of aiming for less than 100 carbs a day.

The Weight Watchers plan follows a point system. Foods are assigned points based on certain Macros. Calories are considered,
With saturated fat and added sugar driving the Points value up, while fiber, protein, and unsaturated fat lower the Points value. There are also foods which are zero-points. I get 28 points a day as well as 28 weekly points. The weekly points are there for me to use as I see fit. Maybe for a treat or a higher point meal. If I don’t use all my daily points, up to 4 will roll into my weeklies and I can earn weeklies for my physical activity. All points reset once a week, including any earned or rollover weeklies.

Today I used 27 of my 28 Daily points so tomorrow 1 point that will rollover into my weeklies. I started with 28 weeklies but earned 4 from my steps and my walk today.

Week 2 has started of week!

Be Peaceful!

Good morning!

I’m sorry for not posting this weekend but I did stay on plan and got my 3rd walk in! I will include pictures of my food tracking in this post!

The big question, is what were my results from week 1! I lost 3lbs! Woo-hoo!

My plan for Week 2: Is the same as week 1. Stay within my Daily (28) & Weekly (28) points and walk for at least 20 minutes on 3 days. The other thing I focused on this week but didn’t mention is mt Carbs. For me, I lose best if I have no more than 100 Carbs a day. Last week I think I was only ove 100 carbs once.

Just a reminder this is a 70 day/10 week challenge! My plan will likely not fluctuate much because this is what works for me! At some point I will add in more activity.

Be Peaceful!

Week 1……10-Week Challenge

Leave a comment

Hi All! I hope you are all having a nice week! I am almost through Week 1 of my 10-Week Challenge! Week 2 starts Saturday, 4/15!

For week 1, I have been creating a rough draft of my daily schedule using this template.
Week 2, I will use this template to tweak and fine-tune my schedule.

During Week 2, I will also make 1 blog post and re-start my focus on food tracking & intake, aiming for Blue Dots 5 out of 7 days. Blue Dots are a Weight Watchers thing. You get a Blue Dot for eating in a healthy range.

I would love to hear from you. Are you making steps towards you long term goals by making small changes?

Have a great weekend, and Be Peaceful!

Starts Tomorrow…..10-Week Challenge!

Hey all! Happy Friday! As I mentioned in my last post, I am determined to reach my goals! I have been taking steps towards my goals since October. I have made a lot of progress in my dedication, determination, and follow-thru. A couple of the things I have worked on and accomplished are surviving Blogtober, starting a healthier lifestyle, and losing almost 30 lbs.

Most recently, I started a part-time second job in order to work on some financial goals. This has led me to realize how precious time really is and to appreciate my free time much more. I have also realized that I need to take control of my time in order to continue reaching my goals. So, I am doing a 10-week challenge, leading up to my next birthday. This challenge will guide me in taking control of my time and allow me to continue working on my goals.

The 10-week challenge will run from 04/08/2023 thru 06/16/2023. Each week, I will have a new challenge for myself to help develop certain habits. I will list the weekly challenges below. I may need to tweak these as I go if something isn’t working how I expected.

Week 1 4/8/2023-4/14/2023: Develop a daily schedule. Include 5:45 wake up, time for exercise, chores, food prep, cooking, self-care, bible study & errands.

Week 2 4/15/2023-4/21/2023: Tweak schedule. Make 1 blog post. WW Blue dot 5 out of 7 days.

Week 3 04/22/2023-04/28/2023: Continue daily schedule but with a wake-up time of 5:40. Continue WW Blue dot 5 out of 7 days. Make 1 blog post. Begin Habit tracking.

Week 4 04/29/2023-05/05/2023: Continue daily schedule but with a wake-up time of 5:35. Continue WW Blue dot 5 out of 7 days. Make 2 blog posts. Continue Habit tracking.

Week 5 05/6/2023-05/12/2023 & Week 6 05/13/2023-05/19/2023: Continue daily schedule, with a wake-up time of 5:35. Continue WW Blue dot 5 out of 7 days. Make 2 blog  posts. Continue Habit tracking. Start on the Optavia 4&2 plan.

Week 7 05/20/2023-05/26/2023 & 05/27/2023-06/02/2023: Continue daily schedule, but with a wake-up time of 5:30. Continue WW Blue dot 5 out of 7 days. Make 3 blog  posts. Continue Habit tracking. Continue on the Optavia 4&2 plan.

Week 9 06/03/2023-06/09/2023 & Week 10 06/10/2023-06/16/2023: Continue daily schedule, but with a wake-up time of 5:30. Continue WW Blue dot 5 out of 7 days. Make 3 blog  posts. Continue Habit tracking. Start on the Optavia 5&1 plan.

What steps are you taking to help you achieve your goal(s)? What goal(s) are you currently working on or plan to start working on? Do you have a daily schedule? Do you habit track? Do you follow a specific eating plan or track your food?

I look forward to hearing from you and sharing this challenge with you.

Be Peaceful,
