RPVWILL's CalorieKing blog
Sunday, Mar 25 2012 - Another weekend bites the dust....
View RPVWILL's food & exercise for this day
Let me preface this by saying, I don't know anything, but I believe in certain things, except for this: I know I shouldn't be so hard on myself......but, I've been very easy on myself for so long. I'm still learning balance. I believe that this is a journey and not a race. That being said, I blew it again this weekend. On many levels.
First off, I ate 3600 calories Friday. 1800 of which were in one meal. Then on Saturday, instead of hiking, getting on the treadmill or doing the P90X, I took a nap with my son. Today, I ate 5 little cinnamon rolls. 150 calories each. Yuck.
Time for a reboot.I am preparing for the week. Seems a lot easier at work. I believe it will get better. We'll see what the scale says tomorrow. I've been steadily losing since December, so if this is my first setback all the more harder I must work. I accept that. I look forward to it. Change is good. Challenge is good.

Ugh - I hear ya - I blew it this weekend too - I made myself diary it- and it was painful... I hate doing so great during the week at work - and then just undoing it all on the weekend - I guess I could work all weekend and stay on track - NOT! It's a challenge we all have to figure out: how to get thru the weekend and have a good weigh-in on Monday. Be kind to yourself - try and learn from it - then move forward! But I wouldn't give up the napping!

Weekends are very very hard for me. I'm just now trying to lock those back down. I find if I make a meal plan and STICK to it, I am much better off. I also include things I don't normally have during the week to make it feel like a treat. Maybe pancakes one day or potatoes with dinner. Or low fat ice cream with strawberries. Or a little wine. That way I don't feel like I'm depriving myself on "off" time. I know it's a mind game, but I say whatever works. It also helps me to log everything in the morning. I know it's a pain on the weekends but it honestly helps me.

Will, I just wanted to let you know that you're not alone in these kind of setback days. It's common. You're trying to do a difficult and complex thing. If it was easy, it would be no big deal. You know that's not the case.
A question: You describe your old behaviors (presumably the unhealthly habits) as "being easy on yourself." Are you sure that's the case? Making yourself overweight, making yourself hurt and be unhappy, doesn't sound easy to me.
Don't mean to presume here. It's just that I'm trying to understand the reasons I do this to myself, too.
<hugs> Focus on today. Stay strong.
