As moms so many times we make our lives about our kids and families and often forget that we were individuals with interests and whole lives before these little people arrived. During my last Weight Watchers meeting the topic of me time came up and what that looks like, and there are a few things I love doing when I get the time.
Speaking of Weight Watchers. Going to meetings is a big part of my self-care routine and one of my favorite parts of the week. I love hearing what other members have to say and getting ideas for meals and snacks.
Weight Watchers has been kind of a struggle for me over the past...I don't want to say how long. I signed up two years ago in July and still have not made goal, it's quite the process.
If you don't know how Weight Watchers works, basically each food is given a points value, and members are given a certain number of points to eat each day, plus some extra points to spread over the course of the week. Or you could be like me and blow through all of your weekly points over the weekend.
Since I'm so fun size, I only get 30 points per day and 28 weekly points, and it takes a lot of creativity and the hungries to stay within those points. I've been riding the struggle bus for some time because I usually end up eating food after all of my points are gone and not tracking it. So if anyone has the magic bullet for training your brain to stay within your points, please let me know. I know a lot of people who would love to know.
I do love Weight Watchers though, because I feel like it's teaching me how to eat cleanly and I've had a recent shift in mindset and seem to be doing better. Baby steps.
When I'm not Weight Watchin', I've been really into reading books again. My latest picks have been mysteries, specifically cozy mysteries and chick-lit type mysteries. Authors I've been digging lately are Diane Mott Davidson, Joanne Fluke and Lisa Scottoline. I still love YA and chick lit, and I will do a later post about some of my favorite authors.
I still watch Gilmore Girls almost every day. I know it got a lot of mixed reviews, but I LOVED the reboot, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. It was amazing to "visit" Stars Hollow again and see what my favorite characters were up to. I'll DEFINITELY write about my thoughts on that in a later post. P.S. I think Logan is the dad and I don't like what they did to Rory at all!
Perfectly Posh is still my side hustle, although I haven't been quite as active with it as in the past. I love the products and how they make my skin feel and look. If you haven't tried Posh, let me know in the commetns and I'd love to hook you up with some samples!
Thank you so much for reading, and until next time!
