Re: RE: All those Good Health Habits

June 24, 2004

Yes, I think everyone does especially at the start. I have no problem with

the water and I'm pretty anal about keeping my journal but it took me a

while to work up to getting all the fruit and veggies in. I started with

just trying to get three F & V a day...one at each meal. Then once that became

easy I upped it to five. The only time I have trouble now is when we are

traveling and eating fast food. There aren't many healthy options and I get

tired of the same old salads.

Last year we had a POP challenge (stands for 'Perfectly on Plan') that was

pretty fun. We had teams and tried to each earn points every day for things

like eating all your F & V, drinking all your water, exercising for at least 1

AP, journaling, and staying within your points range. Of course that brings

up the who thing about competition but it was optional and some of us found

we do much better will a bit of fun competition.

Good Health Habits

Weight Watchers has their list of Good Health Habits (used to be called

" Recommendations " ) in their Week One Flex Points book:

1. measure your portions & keep within your points

2. 6 waters daily

3. 2-3 dairy daily

4. 5 F's and V's daily

5. eat whole grains

6. don't forget enough protein

7. go light on fats/sugar/alcohol

8. take your vitamins

Weight Watchers didn't just list out all these good health habits to

fill up space in that booklet. These are an intricate combination of

steps that you can take for healthy and effective weight loss. If we're

not doing all these things, we're not really and totally doing the

Weight Watcher program as it was designed--as it was meant to be! So how

the heck can we really see the results that are possible??

My challenge is that, if you're not doing EVERY ONE of these Habits, to

do them every day for 3 weeks.
