Tales From the Scale: Scheduling Meals

KayLynn · January 19, 2015 · 3 Comments

Tales from the Scale-scheduling-meals

Do you schedule your meals throughout the day?  It sounds weird but adding meals and snacks to your calendar can keep you from letting too much time elapse between eating.  I don’t know about you, but when I am very hungry (aka “starving”) I tend to make bad choices.

I am great at following a meal schedule during the work week but get a bit thrown off on weekends.  Meals and snacks are fit in around whatever we have planned.  Sometimes I realize I’m starving an hour before dinner and that’s because I never had an afternoon snack.

Yesterday I scheduled all my meals and snacks and it went pretty good.

Food Plan

I didn’t take many pictures of meals this week but we pretty much ate on track.  It was the extras that had me going over points (can you say Cold Stone).

I belong to a Facebook group for Weight Watchers members where people share points-friendly recipes.  I made the Southwest Bake dish below from the recipe files there.

It was a hit with both of us but we had lots of leftovers as it makes six servings.

We went out to eat once and I had the Fit Fare breakfast at Denny’s.

Weigh-In

You might have noticed my weigh-in post didn’t go up last week.  Despite having a perfect on plan week with four days of boot camp (Kaia Fit), I was up .6 pound and it threw me.

Intellectually I knew it was just a fluke and the hard work will pay off but emotionally I wasn’t able to deal with it.  This past week I ate every weekly point, every exercise point plus a few points I didn’t have.  I did go to Kaia Fit but my tracking and eating was a bit off track.

Thankfully the scale moved back down this week with a loss of .8 bringing the total loss to:

-43.0Pounds

 Challenges Ahead

There aren’t any particular challenges this week other than getting enough rest so I can make it to all my 5 am exercise classes.

Do you schedule your meals and snacks?

    It depends on how I’m feeling but some weeks I really need a meal plan for the week and sticking to it helps a lot.

    Good loss and, yes, sometimes we just end up a little higher on the scale for no real apparent reason. Very frustrating.

    I don’t always schedule meals, but quite often I pre-fill MFP and check my WW points to make sure that everything will end up where I want it to be. Also, it can tell me what I still to eat that day (or how much I can eat to stay within my plans). I feel free to change it during the day if I want, but it does help with planning.

    I try. But most of the time I wing it. Which can be an issue when I get lazy. When I try to plan my snacks I tend to pick the same item over and over until I get bored with it.
