Welcome! This is a thread for people who want to attend a meeting from the comfort of their own home. We are primarily a PointsPlus board (Go Team Yellow!) but all are welcome to revel in the GHG's, 16 Routines, and topics that never get old.
If you're new here, feel free to introduce yourself!
If you have anything to celebrate, share and give yourself a bravo sticker: +
If you want to make it official, you can weigh yourself and put it in your tracker or share it!
If you need some accountability, feel free to post daily how you’re doing on PP/GHG’s.
This Week's Topic: The Motivation Cycle - A summary from the WW Success Handbook
Most people think of motivation as something you have or something you don't. You're either high flying or falling off a cliff, but motivation is more like a clock. Where you'll start highly motivated, slow down slightly, slow down even more, and then feel completely unmotivated, only to cycle back to high motivation.
The success handbook discusses "3 steps that Kick Motivation into Gear".
(1) Take Action - As your motivation slowed you took an action, whether it was to stop exercising because you were feeling sick, stop tracking because you were on a trip, or decided you were sick of your "go-to's". To reset your motivation, you need to take a positive action.
(2) That Action Can Be Very Small - Find a tiny part of the plan that makes sense for you. Can you drink six 8-oz glasses of water every day? Can you have a fruit/vegetable with every meal and snack? Can you track breakfast for tomorrow?
(3) The Action Doesn't Have to Be About Following the Rules - It doesn't always have to be something you think you "should" do. Sometimes it's actually the opposite. Examples: (a) Have a 'cheat' meal, just choose the on plan meal you're going to have next, (b) Imagine quitting, just remember to tell your diet coach how quitting would make your life better - most people have no answer to this question, (c) read some success stories until you feel like you can do it too.
- What part of this write up speaks to you?
- Where is your motivation at right now?
- What's one small action you're willing to take this week?
This Week’s Routine: (12) Always have comfortable shoes with you.
GHG of the Week: 5 Servings of Fruits/Vegetables a day
Meal of the Week: Breakfast
What are you having for breakfast?
Recipe of the Week: Strawberry Frozen Yogurt (3PP) - This would also make a great snack or dessert
