Tales from the Scale: Week 6

KayLynn · February 27, 2013 · 9 Comments

The meeting topic last week was about fueling activity.  We learned foods to eat that help keep energy levels up all day. The advice was to use power foods in this quest.

Power foods for those that aren’t versed in Weight Watchers language are primarily vegetables, fruits, lean meats, eggs, whole grains and fat free dairy.  That’s what I try to focus on anyway instead of using my points on empty carbs.

The scale reflected my hard work and I lost 1.6 pounds for:

Total Loss: 11.4 Pounds

 Victories and Challenges:  Not only did I make it over the 10 pound mark but also earned my 5% award.  FYI, the award is just a sticker  that says 5% but it was still a big milestone.  Next goal is to hit 15 pounds before the end of March.  That was my goal for the first quarter and I want to keep on track!

Tracking and Healthy Checks: Cooking at home is helping me get in my oil requirement each day.  Even better, I’ve been walking more and can check off the exercise box!  I’ve been upping my daily steps goal by 500 each week and this week the target is 7,000 6,000 steps.

Next week:Fortunately I don’t have any events scheduled for this week that will make it hard to stay on track.  Of course that can also mean I lead a boring life!

What’s your victory and challenge this week?

    Congratulations Kay! I find that eating at home is much healthier and cheaper than eating out. I need to find more recipes that are quick and easy!
