...that makes me think that I can through caution to the wind, think I don't have to drink that much water and eat totally different than during the week. I don't know if my mind turns into party mode and all rationality is lost or if it is because aunt flo is knocking and I give in whenever she comes around, I don't know I have to figure it out. I know that I can't keep acting a damn fool on weekends and then spend the next week fixing it. Now don't get me wrong I didn't go completely ham last weekend with my eating, but I sure as hell didn't stick to the plan I had laid out to conquer the weekend. This weekend will be better. I am seeing results and I've gotten a few comments here and there, but I just have to push through this initial part. The part where my mind still craves Mexican food, wants a margarita, wants to have a slice of cake with ice cream. Only if that part of my brain would turn off or maybe my tastebuds wouldn't make those taste so good, only if...But hell I guess that would be too easy. I will say that my culinary skills have been improving so that may help in not wanting so much junk, God only knows.
How do you all handle the weekends??
I do the same. I typically over do it on the weekends and then make up for it during the week. I just try to limit those missteps to a single bad day ever a couple weeks.
ReplyDeleteWeekends lack structure, so it used to really throw me off. Now, I just set up mini challenges for every weekend. This weekend, I did a 2 day juice fast. This upcoming weekend, I will be starting a 10 day juice fast. I have to have these little things that keep my mind distracted. I used to do a LOT of boredom eating on weekends. Now, I just don't keep extra food around. Period. I track how many times I fill up my 'big red cup' for water, knowing it takes 4 to get the amount I need (amount I 'challenge' myself for the weekend). It's like this strange little system I have developed, so I didn't piss the weekend away doing whatever I wanted and eating horribly. Soon, it will be habit instead of a game. I hope!
