Happy Monday! Well I got through the weekend - always a challenge for me when I'm trying to lose weight - and it went very well actually. I think it's the lack of structure and too much free time on my hands that makes weekends such a challenge for me. During the week I have breakfast before work. I only have an hour for lunch so I eat what's on my menu and get back to work. After work I come home, walk, make dinner, read and call it a night. Not much time left to my own devices. But on the weekends everything's different. We sleep in, we go out to eat, my schedule is all off. So this weekend I tried to maintain a regular schedule and if I felt the urge to turn to the pantry or the fridge out of boredom I diverted myself with a book or by going on the computer, etc.
Also, we always go out for breakfast on Sundays after church so that was another challenge but I decided in advance what I would order so that I could stay on track. I had two eggs scrambled with veggies and a piece of whole wheat toast. It was delicious! And honestly, it's really about spending time together talking, having a chance to catch up after the busy week. It's not really about the food. Don't get me wrong - we enjoy the food too! But that's not the most important thing. So it was nice to be able to continue that little tradition and still stick with my weight loss plan.
One of my favorite shows started up again - "The Biggest Loser." It's such an inspiration to me. I think that will help keep me focused too.
Here's to a great second week!
