Weekend Success!

Good day Teaspoons! 

Well I did it! I went to my friend's house for supper on Saturday night and only went over my daily points allowance by 1 point and in reality, I didn't really go over my points because I had done two workouts on Saturday so I had some exercise points stored up that I could use. In order to stay on track, I ate some yogurt with fruits before going so I wouldn't be too famished when I got there and I said I would bring dessert. I brought frozen yogurt with fresh raspberries. It was a perfect way to end a great supper! I allowed myself one and a half glasses of wine and made sure to tracked those points too! All in all, it went really well and I had a great time with great friends! Thanks Paula and Pat!

I tried yoga for the first time Friday night. I was home alone so I decided to give it a try. I followed a 30mins yoga video to boost my metabolism. Since Friday, I have done it 3 times and really like it! It's fun to try new things sometimes. That way, you don't get bored of the same routine! 

Hope you all had a great weekend my friends! Time to cook a healthy supper!

Do YOUR Best

Good Day Teaspoons! 

I was reading my friend's blog about weight loss and she was saying how hard it is to follow our good eating habits on weekends. Do you feel the same way? I sure do! We seem programmed to "let go" on weekends; let go of stress from work, let go of our good sleeping habits, let go of our exercise schedual and finally, let go of our good eating habits. Another reason why I think it's so hard on weekend it's because we aren't in our regular routine. We are out and about and are tempted to eat whatever is easiest. To avoid all of this, I try to plan what I'm going to eat on the weekend on Friday night. This way, I can plan ahead and have a clear vision of my weekend. Don't get me wrong, I usually cave in and eat a few chips. I did cave in yesterday and since I couldn't go back and "un-eat" them, I did a small workout. All this to say, try to plan ahead and don't get too frustrated if you do happen to go a little off track. Just try to do better the next day.

On a little side note, good job to the Canadian hockey boys for doing THEIR best and for winnings the gold at the Olympics!
