Weekends....

It is officially 1:54 am on Saturday and I am just getting in. I took some time after work and hung out with a couple of friends of mine. I dread the weekends. There is a correlation between words that start with "W" for me on the weekends. Weekends=Weaknesses.....Yep, that is right I have this weird correlation. I have to focus on walking the straight and narrow path as the weekend can easily lead to detours, hard to bounce back from detours. I have been extremely focused these past 4 weeks and have not allowed the weekends to put a damper on my weight loss efforts but like a 12 step program I have to take it one day at a time.

Today my consumption consisted of the following:
Breakfast:
  • 3 slices of turkey bacon
  • 1- Fiber One strawberry pop tart
  • 1- dannon lite and fit blueberry yogurt
Lunch:
  • A turkey sandwich on wheat bread with lettuce, tomato and yellow mustard. It was not actually a whole sandwich as I used 1 piece of bread and cut it in half.
  • 8 Lay's Lite potato chips
Dinner:
  • 1- Spicy Chicken Go Wrap from Wendy's
  • 1- Side Salad
  • 2 TBSP Low Fat Balsamic Ving.
Snack:
  • 1 serving of Cashews
  • 10 Tortilla Chips w/ Salsa
I did not have a bad day but could have changed some of my choices to raw veggies. I also did not do any exercise but I am planning on running around the community on my day off to compensate for not having a Friday work out. I am committed to 5 days a week so that means if I don't do it all during the week...well there goes a weekend day....LOL

Today my sister booked our airplane flight to Miami for our Carnival Cruise in May...I became so excited at the thought...it also made me realize that with each day that passes the time to leave gets closer so I need to step up my intensity this week with workouts....It would be soo great to drop 20 lbs by May....I am working hard at accomplishing this goal so I need to put in a little more effort...Keep moving even when it is really uncomfortable and I feel I cant do anymore...majority of the time its your mind playing tricks on you....Our body can take much more than we think...It's like our brains are programmed and when it feels discomfort, stress or a little pain we say stop...push a little harder and rep the benefits!!

I am sitting here watching this infomercial for the AbCoaster... I am one of those people who use to purchase all of the weight loss items and use it for a minimal amount of time and then let it collect dust....I wont be getting it but I wonder if it really works...LOL Have you heard of the bodybugg??...they use it on the Biggest Loser...man I am contemplating getting it....check it out on bodybugg.com...tell me what you think...would you go there?? For some reason my mind keeps telling me this would be a great investment but I really don't have the funds to get it...maybe if I save fifty dollars a month I can get it eventually....I will keep you posted as to my decision to buy or not to buy.......
