Official weigh-in: +0.2 pounds.
While I would prefer the loss here are reasons why I'm happy with the week:
1. I tracked everything. EVERYTHING. Every piece of Halloween candy that somehow made it into my mouth along with all the really good things I ate.
2. I earned 24 Activity Points. So according to my heart rate monitor, I burned 2400 calories this week. That's two thousand four hundred! **note for other ww members out there: I track activity points by giving myself 1 AP for every 100 calories I burn**
3. I ran out of Weekly and Activity Points and still managed to plan it so that I did NOT end the week in negative points.
And here are things I will work on:
1. I need a better ratio of candy to vegetables :) Seriously though, looking back over the week I can see a few places where it would have been better had I swapped a few points plus items for vegetables or fruit. I have felt heavy and bloated all week and I know this is the reason why.
2. My water intake. I started running again recently and that means I need to step it up with water. I get really dehydrated when I run. This would probably also help with the bloat.
3. Usually every week I tend to eat something during the weekend that doesn't necessarily fit into the healthy guidelines. This past week, that treat came out a couple of times during the week days. There's nothing wrong with having treat meals, but I can't let them keep replacing good, healthy, TASTY meals that I've planned for the week.
And as always, track EVERYTHING (especially if I go over) and get at least 20 activity points.
