Louise wrote a great post yesterday about her experience so far – click here to check it out!
I’m down 2.4 pounds from last week and at my lowest weight thus far since starting the challenge, while Jai lost .8 pounds. I’m feeling good – the scale is moving in the right direction and I got some good workouts in last week using our home equipment. I can feel my core getting stronger and it feels good to be back to a more “Normal” healthy routine!
Jai told me that he has been struggling to keep momentum because he’s been feeling hungry, and I asked him if he’d been measuring out his portions for SmartCarbs and PowerFuels. Turns out, he hasn’t, and has been alternatively cheating himself out of all his food allotment at times and eating slightly bigger portions at others. I showed him how I measure out one of my snacks – yogurt and berries – as an example, and he said, “Wow, I get all that?!” So I think that was a helpful insight for him and important reminder that it really does make a difference when you measure out your portions rather than eyeball them. Yes, it’s less convenient sometimes to stop and measure out your portion, but I think it’s well worth it to not be hungry! I measure everything out and find that it’s actually too much food for me – I’m not able to eat everything they recommend because it’s just too much for me, and I’m not going to eat until I feel sick. So hopefully practicing that will help Jai go from hungry to full since he won’t be missing out on his food allowance! Plus, we have a food counselor that we can call on any time with questions if we encounter stumbling blocks or just want to talk.
Onwards and upwards to next week!
It sounds like you are both doing really well! I hope your hubby is not cheating himself out of his food now that you pointed that out!
Thanks, I agree that it’ll be a big help!
Good thing you let him know, keep on trucking you guys, you looked fantastic when I met you! Continued good luck!
