Rating my day rather than just logging in a weight on the scale, has been one of the greatest tools I have stumbled across. It keeps me focused on my good health habits and helps me to see The bigger picture in terms of weight loss. I am able to see the trans-much clearer and stay on target much easier. If anyone else is interested in trying this trick, here are the points I assign myself daily if I do any of these things:
Weigh in
Log my food intake for the day
Stay within my allotted calorie intake
Achieve any of the three Apple Watch goals) movement, standing, 30 minutes of exercise ( movements, standing, 30 minutes exercise)
One point for any 20 minutes of exercise beyond the 30 minutes of my Apple Watch
Seven points is a general maximum, although I can increase that number by exercising quite a bit more, which happens on long runs. I came for at least a minimum of three points (way in log food seven points is a general maximum, although I can increase that number by exercising quite a bit more, which happens on long runs. I came for at least a minimum of three points (weigh in, log food/calories, and 1 other).
It's working. I focus on the success-creating habits rather than the scale. I stay motivated because I can see results over long term. I have a small monthly calendar to record my daily weighty in the morning and my points total at the end of day. Very helpful!
