Friday went pretty well. I ate leftover soup for lunch and dinner and made some oatmeal for breakfast. Nothing too fancy, but all the warm food helped the cold so hopefully I'm in better shape for work after the weekend. I didn't make it to the gym (again)-- my sinuses are driving me bonkers and all I want to do is sleep. I just want to get better so I can jumpstart the exercise portion of my plan.
Daily calorie goal: 1400
Real calorie intake: 1544 (a little over, but still not horrific)
I'm dreading the weekend, just like I always do. One of the most difficult things for me to do is establish a routine, and the workday makes it easier as you have breakfast before you leave, lunch at a designated time midday, and dinner after you return in the evening. The unstructured weekend, when I often sleep quite late or go out with friends, is a huge challenge. I want to eat more since I'm relaxing or eat at the wrong times of day, and I'm less likely to keep track of what I eat.
Some friends have told me not to worry about the weekend, that eating right the majority of the time will help me to lose weight, but I have found that attitude to be self defeating. If I were writing something for work, would I erase a portion of it during the weekend because I could make it up the next week? Of course not. I have to hold myself to the same standard while working on myself. Well, here we go.
