Here it is Monday & I'm relieved.. Yea.... WHAT? You say...
Hmmmm well to explain -I'm more than just a little pissed at my self that I yet again let the whole weekend become a series of Free Day moments.
Someone please tell me WTH happens in my brain that says that eating well right up till dinner time means that everything after that is WHOO HOO PARTY time!?! I dunno!... I need to figure out the mental process that goes into this sorta thing if I ever really hope to see decent results- that is the absolute bottom line on this.
I know that this is a pattern I have when I have weekend days off.. Friday I can work-out, be totally ON with eating all day- but then if it's a day off.. Come the eve & we end up "socializing" which usually involves food & drink.. & If I'm off Sat too- well it's the same sorta equation! -Then the hard thing is then Sunday even when I go back to work- I can't seem to get out of the fog & be all gun ho about eating clean- I'd quite honestly hazard to guess that it's some sort of "food induced hangover!!!" cause often I don't really even drink that much if at all ( especially if I had drank the night before~lol) - just the damn rich food!
Now telling me to NOT be sociable isn't gonna work- I'm just not willing to give up everything all the time ..Jamie & I both enjoy cooking & entertaining too much & to be honest with my schedual- getting to relax & "kick back" with friends is an infrequent treat.
Sorry for blithering on about this ... I'm just trying so hard to stay focused & on track this "challenge" .. That feeling like I'm on that slippery slope to Apathy is actually scaring me... I really WANT to do well.. I WANT to really make some changes & look "different" - it's been too long since I've managed to really see anything remarkable ...
Gotta find a way to keep the "damage" to a minimum somehow! *sigh*

Any day off is dangerous for me, too. It's weird how I can get the workouts in and eat on plan when I'm busy with work, but give me a day off with no real plans (except fun) and I eat and eat and can't find time to exercise. I guess the answer is that I had no plan!
I'm trying to plan my free days a little bit more- as much as I don't like structur, it's the only thing that works for me.
Same thing. Weekends are really unpredictable too. If I've drank the night before I can go all day doing well, with some bigtime concentrated effort, then mid afternoon forget it - get out of my way because I'm coming to get the food. Last Sunday (unpredictable again) 11 PM (normally long past my bedtime) cheetos & M&M's. Or I can even miss meals. Weekdays are another story.
Phew -glad I'm not the only one.. :)Hmmm..Planning- yea good idea Cheri... that whole mantra that Suze brought up "fail to plan & you plan to fail' really hits home..
maybe I do need to be a bit more structred
I do the same thing lately. I do great mon-friday. Saturday is freeday, but then sunday all we do is go to church (3 hours) and then its HOME the rest of the day. All I want to do is munch on crap. These free weekends MUST stop somehow. If I'd put my l\plan into gear I'd be fine, but do I?? Well not yet. I will next sunday though. This sunday is Easter, of course. But NEXT week, yes, I will be good.
Oddly, I do much better on the weekends than I do during the week lately. I have trouble staying on track at work. I sit at a desk all day and get the munchies. At home, I'm always rushing around shuffling kids to ball games, and way to busy to even think about cheating. This darn food thing consumes my thoughts most days. All we can do, is keep moving on!
Hey Pamela..yeah, weekends are bad for me too! It's Wed. and I hope you are doing well. Miss you...Dede
But you're so good at dropping by blogs, sending emails and meeting up with people. You are born party animal!
Thanks for your comments on my blog. And yes, a new chapter has begun!
Best,

PS word verification: heaehua!!! I think I'm going to make that my battle grunt.
