Weekend Wandering
Posted renewme on January 12th, 2008 | Filed under General
I feel myself slipping off the program again. The weekends are hard for me. With my family around I feel like I tend to eat more than when I’m home by myself. This may be emotional. When I get frustrated, or the kids start fighting I tend to start eating. Have not been good foodwise so far this weekend. I’m about half way through my flex points for the week, (and my week started on Thurs. since that is when I weighed in). Need to get it under control. I’m wondering if I shouldn’t go back to meetings earlier in the week instead of the Thurs. one I have been. Maybe I wouldn’t get so off track over the weekend if I new I’d be facing the scale first thing. Mon. or Tues morning. Have not done a formal workout, but spent time yesterday and today playing wii. That boxing really is like a workout for me. And we discovered the wii training part of Wii Sports which is fun. It’s some games that are like training sessions to help with different skills of each sport. I’d like to get Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games. It sounds like it might be good for exercise. We have a rain check from target from just after New Years when it was on sale. We just can’t seem to find it in stock nearby.

weekends are harder for me too.
I am really helped by Monday weigh-ins. It helps me be focused all weekend, and when I see a drop I’m re-committed for the week. When I don’t see a drop I’m usually re-invigorated to create one for the next week.
I have a tendancy to start eating for emotional reasons too - I’m working on it… not easy.

I second what Round says. I know that if I am accountable on Mondays, it really keeps me honest.
