Tweaks

So I weighed myself, and I haven't lost a single ounce since Monday. I think it's time for some tweaks.
First of all, I have been eating my daily points PLUS my weekly points. With weight watchers you get 49 extra points per week to spend if you want. At the end of the week I have no points left. I think I would see better results if I stuck to just my daily points. Another change is my sodium intake. One of my favorite snacks is salsa and chips. But there is SO much sodium in them, and I think it's making me retain water. So now I'll be paying attention to that. Lastly is my exercise. I need to do 14 points worth of exercise every week. I've done 9 this week so far. Just to give you an idea, 10 minutes of jogging is 2 points. So I figure if I do 3 points per day, five days a week, that's 15 points. Once I get back into it, then my weekly points will go up for exercise.
It's all about making adjustments when necessary. Don't be too hard on yourself. If you're making positive changes in the right direction, that's good. If you notice you're not losing the weight like you want to, push yourself. Get out of your comfort zone. That's when we start seeing results.
