Can You Juggle Work and Weight Loss?

Does your determination take a back seat when you walk into the office Monday morning? Find out here how well you're juggling work and weight loss.

All weekend long you're "good." You work out, count your PointsPlus® values, plan out the meals you'll eat for the rest of the week. Then comes Monday. How's your outlook at 2 p.m.?

Forget it! I‘ll start again next week.

Today was so crazy I got thrown off track. I hope that tomorrow I‘ll be able to stay on plan.

Things are going great. All that planning paid off.

Great. In fact, it‘s really helping me relieve some of the stress I‘ve been building up because of this project.

I‘ve put it on hold until things are a little less crazy.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that part of the plan.

I save my PointsPlus allowance in the days before I leave, because I‘m sure I‘ll overeat.

Well, I don‘t exactly prepare …

I work hard to make sure I‘ve scheduled exercise into my itinerary, and mentally rehearse choosing healthier foods at the meals.

Luckily I stocked up on lots of vegetables. I can make a big salad to supplement a main course that's low in PointsPlus values.

I go over my daily PointsPlus Target a bit and forgive myself. What else can I do?

I order pizza. It‘s been a long day and I‘m too tired to figure out something to eat that's low in PointsPlus values.

I try to eat light at breakfast and lunch so I can get whatever I want at dinner.

I plan ahead. I ask around for restaurants that serve healthier fare, and I think about what I‘ll order before I even go.

I don‘t keep track of PointsPlus values on the days I eat out. It‘s too hard.

"How about we do it over lunch instead? I have plans in the morning."

"How about I bring bagels?"

"Well, I was supposed to exercise, but … "

The fridge.

The TV.

Friends and family.

No.

Every day.

Occasionally.
