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: Activity Attitude
Summarizing the Find Your Fingerprint Guide:
"Sitting is the new smoking". Technology is sucking the activity out of our lives and it is estimated that many people sit for more than 55 hours a week. Activity points can be a great motivator for extra food, slip-ups, or losing weight faster, but they're even better for the rewards of energy, mood, and overall health. Liz says that activity "needs to go from being something you did in fits and spurts to something that is a consistent and enjoyable part of your day." A common pitfall is to read something about exercise in the morning and try to do it even though you're not a morning person, or go to the gym because that's "real" working out even if you hate it; it's not sustainable.
Here's how to "Make it Yours": (1) know yourself, (2) know your lifestyle, (3) know what you're interested in, (4) know what will stick.
- What is your relationship with activity and how does it matter to you?
- What does your real life look like? Do you have time to train for a marathon or do you need to find a few minutes here and there throughout the day?
- What kind of activity interests you? Does it make you happy?
- What do you need in place to make sure the habit sticks? An alarm? Expensive equipment? A friend? An appointment with a trainer?
This Week’s Routine: (5) After each meal and snack, decide how many PointsPlus
values you’ll use for your next meal or snack.
GHG of the Week: Choose whole-grain foods such as brown rice and oats whenever possible.
