Week 3 of my Weight Watchers Journey
So this was week 3 of my Midlife Freestylin Journey on Weight Watchers. At our meeting, we discussed what “successes” we had. I actually spoke up and talked about how I am starting to SLOWLY incorporate meal planning into my daily routine.
I don’t know about you, but when I get home I barely have the desire to cook dinner let alone plan what I’m going to eat over the course of 1 – 4 days. I follow a few meal prep pages on Instagram. The people that post have this meal prep thing down to a science. Some of them actually prep for an entire 7 days!! There is no way I could eat the same thing for a week straight!!
To get into my meal prep groove, I vowed to start making breakfasts the night before. This week I bought liquid egg whites and a sausage link. I made a simple cheese omelet and 2 oz of the beef
I set an alarm on my phone to remind me to have two snacks throughout the day. 10:00 am and 2:00 pm. This has helped curve my cravings while at work
When it comes to eating, the weekends are the hardest for me. The problem isn’t eating everything in sight, it’s not eating at all. I will have my coffee (sorry Weight Watchers I CAN’T only use 1 tbs of creamer in my coffee) and start running around like a madwoman. I don’t get hungry and by the time I realize I haven’t eaten, its the middle of the afternoon. It’s much easier for me to stay on track during the week because I have the structure of my workday to follow.
All in all it was a good week and I lost 1.2 pounds. I plan to increase my meal prep to at least 3 days a week. Wish me luck!
Are any of you on a #midlife lifestyle journey? Who’s on the Weight Watchers Freestyle plan?
What are your successes for the week? Goals for next week?
I’d love to hear about them!
