WW Bonus Points

Weigh day today. My weight has been pretty static all week, although I’ve seen my body fat coming down in to the 43’s. Up to 44.8 today though!

I’ve been using up some or all of my exercise bonus points in the last week. As the scale hasn’t budged much this week, have decided to limit myself to a maximum of 2 bonus points a day, no matter how much exercise I do, and then, only if I need them. Also, I won’t carry over any I don’t use. As my basic point allowance is 23, I won’t be able to use more than 25 a day, and then only if I do 2 or more bonus points’ worth of exercise.

So, for example, today hubby and I went for a walk for an hour, and I did 15 minutes of intermediate level pilates with the magic circle. Altogether, 5.5 points’ worth. But I’ll limit myself to 23+2 for food. This way, I can eat more if my energy expenditure makes me hungry, but otherwise, any calories I’ve burned up should come off as fat loss. Hopefully.

Still, even if I didn’t lose weight this week, I did manage nearly 4 hours of exercise, up from…well, not much previously. And I made good food choices when I was away from home. So feeling pretty pleased with myself. Also, hubby and I have made a pact not to watch more than one hour of television a day, which should make it easier to start going to bed earlier. Three days out of seven last week I was in bed before 11.30.

Goals for this week: continue to make good food choices and prepare in advance; do an extra pilates session this week; do some exercise every day, even if it’s just a 15-minute walk; go to bed by 11.30 at least four times this week.
