1. Tracking Food
Without my weight watchers tracker I would have lost my way long ago. I used to go for weeks without ever feeling even slightly guilty about what I was shovelling in my mouth. Even now when I have a bad week end where I can’t be bothered logging on I will go back & re-enter what I have eaten. Sometimes I am really surprised by things that are quite high in PP that I used to think were okay.
2. Tracking Exercise
I always make sure I enter my exercise into my tracker- even if it is only a walk around the block with my puppies. I find it very interesting to see just how much exercise you have to do to burn off a high PP treat. I never eat any of my exercise points however I have found on the weeks that I do a lot of exercise that I need to eat some of my weekly points otherwise I don’t seem to have a good loss. It is strange how I bodies work!
3. My Personal Trainer- Brock
This man is my motivator. I have been seeing him for 1 year now & I have only missed 2 sessions due to illness. I know a lot of people out there can’t afford a personal trainer but in my eyes everything to do with my health is worth it. Being on WW, being a member of a gym & having a personal trainer is expensive however by compromising what I spend money on elsewhere has meant that even when times got a little tough for us recently I was able to keep these invaluable tools.
4. Lorna Jane
Now I know this one might seem a little strange. When I first started on this weight loss journey I couldn’t fit into the Lorna Jane work out gear. Small make I used to tell myself HA! My very first mini goal to myself was to fit into a Lorna Jane top. I was SO excited when that day finally came. The second mini goal was to fit into the tights. Now that I can fit into all of her work out gear I wear it proudly. I was reading a blog the other day & the author was criticising ‘The Lorna Jane Brigade’ as she called it. I was quite offended. This was written by someone that in writing has a fairytale perfect life. She has never been overweight or suffered any of the consequences of it. I haven’t been able to read her blog in the way since.
5. Aussie Farmers Direct
No longer do I have to ‘pop’ into the supermarket on my way home from work & battle my inner demon at the checkout line. Like a toddler I would want want want what ever yummy little treat they had conveniently placed right at eye level in easy reach of little hands. Now Aussie Farmers Direct delivers all of my fresh fruit & vegetables, milk, bread, yogurt and meat all straight to my front door. The even better part is that I am supporting our Aussie Farmers rather that the greedy supermarkets!
