Somebody, please kick me in the…
I stepped on the scale this morning for my weigh-in… +3… back up to 207.
Wha’ HA-pen?
The earlier part of the week was pertty good… still no exercise, but moderating what I eat. Then the weekend came…
I probably ate just a bit more than I should have so late in the evening on Saturday. Then, Sunday night, I definitely over-ate my fill… and then topped it off with cheesecake! UGH! Sure, it was a free catered dinner from Boston Market in appreciation for the children’s ministry lead-teachers and spouses… but I should have known to moderate before it was too late!
Weak… I’m so weak…

Doug really encouraged me after the fiasco at Chili’s last week. Basically, he just said to let it slide, and to not get into the “ah, screw it” mentality and just give up. Sage advice.
You’re +3 for the week. What’s your net loss since you started? That’s the number you should look at, IMO.

You’re human, it’s one meal (or weekend). Another meal is coming in just a few short hours. Hop back on the wagon.
Weekends are my downfall. Lack or routine, and the availability of food in the house makes it hard. I’ve got to develop a more “on purpose” plan for the weekends, in the anticipation of my summer that is to come.
My only other advice would be to exercise. Since I’ve started this thing 5 weeks ago, I’ve gained weight every weekend, sometimes as much as 7 lbs.!!!!! However, the fact that I’ve been exercising has allowed my weekly weigh ins to continually go down. I tried for YEARS to lose weight by controlling my eating alone. It didn’t happen for me.
I would go so far as to guarantee that if you’d walk for 30 minutes 3-4 times a week for a couple of weeks, you’d crack that 200 lb. barrier that has been eluding you.
Try it…… I dare you!!

Weekends are rough for me, too. I tend to let myself live it up a little, and consequently my weight tends to live it up a little, too. Keep in mind, though, that two steps forward and one step back is still forward progress.
