Maintain
Gain
Have you given any thought to what you want your goal to be for the summer events, whether it's a one day, weekend, week or longer?
When we kick back and relax during these times it is so easy to get off track. My point this week has been that we can so easily fall into "all or nothing" thinking, giving ourselves permission to do nothing at all because we can't reach THAT bar! And then, of course, we lose the impetus to continue when we come home - the recovery is too hard. So many members disappear on me at this time and it truly makes me sad because we really care about you and hope to be there at the really tough times for you.
So - what can we do?
1. Plan ahead before leaving for the event; what does that mean to you?
- Ask yourself the $64,000,000 question and really answer it... "What's my goal for this; is this a vacation at which I expect to lose, do I want to maintain my current position or is it okay to gain a pound or two as long as I make the commitment to myself to 'fix' it when I get home"?
- Give some thought to how you are spending your PointsPlus Values in the days leading up to going away.
- What WW tools, snacks, electronics, books or other materials will you plan to pack? Pedometer, PP Calculator, Dining Out Companion, Pocket Guide, Clicker, Magazine, Peanut Butter Bliss or Cheddar Twists?
- How about some research on the destination, exercise opportunities, local restaurants, is there a local supermarket you can easily get to? Don't forget to bring your coupons!
2. On vacation... strategies are?
- There is a great article on the Weight Watchers website that sorta says it ... click the link to go to the article. 10 Ways to Avoid Vacation Weight Gain
- Get the "buy in" from those you are with to help you keep your resolve.
- I allow myself at least one "fun" and delicious treat every day - I do not do well with feeling deprived, but I still try to keep some thoughts of being responsible for what I put in my mouth. I am trying to say; I will definitely enjoy an ice-cream; favorite flavor, full of cream and sugar - size small or kiddie, but I would NOT buy or eat a 24oz sundae!
3. On return - FIRST THINGS FIRST:
- Make a beeline for the grocery store. Power foods are your best friends right now.
- Walk anyone? What time does the gym stay open until? How great would you feel if you could come to a meeting and say - when we got home, before I even unpacked I hit the gym and came home via the grocery store.
- Some say "be brave; get on the scale".
- Come to your VERY next meeting; we're here to help.
