Over the years I have struggled with the support tools I need to help me lose weight. Whether it's a loved one, acquaintance or a stranger from a website. Any of the support that was provided was always welcome from me with open arms. People share their advice and you chose to take it or leave it. What people do in their own lives to help them lose weight might have helped them, but it might not have been good for you in your personal life. I know for me folks have said to not eat after 6pm or as soon as you get up drink lots of water. On the other hand I have heard that it doesn't matter what time of day you eat, just as long as you don't go over your calorie count for the day.
I know for me counting calories is extremely difficult. For example I had grilled chicken seasoned with Lawry's perfect blend seasoning and rub (chicken & poultry) left overs for lunch and I don't have the package anymore. How the heck do I know how many calories it is? What I do know is that on Weight Watchers one ounce of chicken is one point. I have my little scale that I use for everything now to weigh and 6 ounces of chicken is 6 points.
Back in 2010 (I feel I will reference that weight loss time quite often) I wrote down everything and I counted points on Weight Watchers. Today, WW has a different program that I am not following nor do I understand. I also am not a spokesperson although I would be making a lot of money if I was... I digress... Anyway, I use this little WW points calculator and I know from my notes in 2010 that one ounce of chicken is one point. Look at the package prior to cutting up the chicken so you can figure out the points. Once you have it written down you will start to learn the points value.
I think I was allowed to eat about 30 or so points for my weight at that time and I averaged about 26 or 27 points a day. On the weekend forget it, but if you keep your mind focused you can have one cheat meal and not a cheat weekend!!! Remember that. Enjoy one good meal and remind yourself that your next meal will be a clean meal.
I feel that my thoughts are all over the place with these posts, but as I get more familiar with what I want to accomplish with this blog I'm sure they will get better.
Stay tuned.....
