activity points - how to get them

July 7, 2004

Hello everyone!

My weigh in went well. I was down .8 and after last week's whopper of a

loss, I figured that I'd have a smaller loss this week.

I ate really healthy 5 out of 7 days last week. (I was on program the

whole time, but two days I made unhealthier choices - like eating a

burger and fries instead of a salad...but at least I stayed within my

points range!) I remember when I first started WW I counted by healthy

*meals* not by healthy *days*...so there is tremendous progress

happening here!!

Now about the subject of my email....Tory, Mitch and SueW, you have all

inspired me to get moving.

So I need some ideas (everyone feel free to give advice!) on how I can

earn 2 activity points each day this coming week.

That's my goal. 2 activity points a day.

Remember how I had shared that I had a difficult time doing all the

healthy habits at once? (I could do one at a time, but when I tried to

do more, I couldn't) Well, ever since that time, I have been working on

that. I'm happy to say that last week I ate on program all week, I ate 5

fruits and veggies every single day, I drank all my water each day, AND

I journaled everything I ate.

WOOHOO!! I did FOUR healthy habits at one time!!

So this week I want to add activity. So you know, I have the beginner's

WW workout. That is worth 1 point. So I know I can do that. But I need

some ideas!

I have bad knees so jogging is probably out of the question...I don't

have access to a swimming pool...I DO have a mall to walk at, I also

have paths/trails in my neighborhood AND I have a

treadmill....occassionally I have a bike to ride, depending on if my

hubby brings one home (I don't have my own yet!)

So how long and at what intensity would I have to exercise to get 2

points?

Thanks for any input - pats on the back - accountability - and just

general encouragement to get my rear in gear!!
