Sabotage Sundays

I keep sabotaging myself on Sunday nights! Remember last week when I ate a bag of gourmet popcorn & went to Cold Stone?! Well, this week it was a huge piece of stuffed pizza at 9pm on Sunday night! What am I doing?

I did good all week long and then I blow it right before the weigh in on Monday! So, I refused to get on the scale yesterday :) I knew it would be up, but it wouldn't really be the right weight. Today I did weigh in and while it was still a bit higher than where it had been all last week, it was still showing a loss. That is much more acceptable!

This week has got to include more exercise. That is totally what was lacking last week. I got a very inspirational (slightly taunting) text from a friend this morning about getting the job done. He has lost 30 pounds in the past 7 months when he didn't even think it was possible to lose that much. He was trying to get it through my head that anything is possible. And I know it is. I need to have faith!!

I am the same way. I am a bad weekender! Thats why I stopped taking my official WI on Mondays. I moved it to Tuesdays, gives me a little wiggle room for the weekends, but not too much.

My advice, stay away from ColdStone... no good can come of it! =) (I know, I know easier said than done!) but seriously, try some healthier alternatives. If you NEEd ice cream, McDonald's ice cream cone is only like 150 calories or something. Instead of regular popcorn, get the 100 cal bag. Still tastes good, there's just less of it. Its all about moderation. you can still have pizza, once in a while, just limit yourself.

And when I go off the deep end, I punish myself with a intense work out.

Its hard work out, ut the payoff is worth it. Keep your eyes on the prize, girlie! It'll all work out! Good Luck this week! =)

You can totally do it. Don't beat yourself up over having one bad day. It happens to all of us. Just keep moving forward and remember that baby steps are still steps in the right direction.

Maybe you should schedule some sort of indulgence into your week somewhat before your weigh in. Get it out of the way, and then you have a day or so to settle out the weight again.

I generally don't think that denying yourself a food helps anything, it just makes the whole progress more unpleasant. The key is planning.

You can do it! I'm a bad "weekender" too. But the way I look at the whole process is in baby steps.

yes! have faith! you can do it! (yes, the weekends kill me too. if it weren't for all those damn family parties and events!)
but i do give myself one day a week to have a treat and i don't believe in total deprivation. but i know that if i don't move my large butt, it will remain large. and that's motivation enough for me to get to the gym! haha!
