Week 2

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!

Week 1 is done! How did I do?

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!

Hello August! Where did July go?

Leave a comment

Hey all! I hope you are doing well!

I’m a little shocked that this year is over halfway over! I still have things I want to achieve this year, how about you?

The last week of July got away from me, but I refuse to give up. I know that I can become a better version of myself. I’m making some minor tweaks to last month’s goals and habits, then will carry them over to this month. I will post August’s plan soon.

I’d love to hear from you. What are you working on?

Be Peaceful,
