I Knew It!

I have been in this lousy pattern of wonderful discipline during the work day, then totally blowing it on the weekends, and overeating at nite during the week. For some reason I just wasnt ready to give up the freedom to eat what/how much I wanted during my free time. I didnt even want to TRY not to indulge once home from work, definitely some weird emotional eating thing going on there. Yesterday I told myself to at least try just one day, just today, to see what happens. I really mentally planned, since planning ahead seems to be something thats working for me. Thought about how brief the yummy eating pleasure lasts, and how once I start all I want is more more more. Thought of other things I could do besides munch, (bubble bath.) And about breaking habits, other habits I've struggled with but eventually mastered, (smoking.) Last nite rather than my PM sweets overload I had a strawberry-banana crystal lite drink. This morning i was down 2 pounds.

What an accomplishment...on the scale AND in your brain! GREAT!

I know what you're saying. When I'm working it's easy to control what I eat cause I can only eat what I bring. This week I had my step sons over for spring break. What a challenge. I bought and baked good things for them and couldn't resist enjoying some myself. I compensated by getting out and playing more basketball riding bikes and hope that makes up for the extra calories.

Thanks for the "thumbs up." Now comes the ultimate challenge, getting thru the weekend without going totally out of control. I'll allow myself a little more leeway than during the workday, but instead of having an "all or nothing" attitude I'm going to approach my meals with moderation in mind. I've been off the workouts for past few days due to lousy cold, only managing a brisk 10 min walk. I'm planning to get in at least 30-40 minutes of cardio both sat and sun.
