Not taking the weekend off
Weekends are always tough for me. I go like gangbusters all week and then when the weekend comes I throw in the towel. It should be easier, extra time to workout, less stress, etc. but it’s just harder, plain and simple. Even though it’s tough, I’m tougher. Friday nights and Saturday mornings usually set the tone so I will have to focus on those 2 times as they come. For tonight, I’m going to do my TurboJam DVD when I get home. I was struggling last night with what to do and finally dug out my CoreSecrets DVD. Once I got about 5 minutes into it I remembered how much I liked it. So tonight I’m going more for cardio.
I also want to mention that this tanning reward is working. I was wanting to get on the scale this morning but didn’t because I want to be able to tan on Sunday after I weigh-in. Sad that I’m trading one unhealthy behavior for another but since I would be tanning anyway at least I’m making healthier choices to get there.
Tonight I will worry about my plan for tomorrow. I don’t have details worked out yet but I know it will involve a good workout in the morning. My son has his birthday party with his friends in the afternoon but it’s only for 2 hours and I will keep my mouth full of gum and my hands busy with the camera.
I’m watching an informercial right now for the BowFlex Treadclimber. Does anyone have experience with them? There was one listed in our paper a couple of weeks ago for $400 and I was so tempted to call on it but I know we can’t afford it so who cares if it was a great deal. Maybe when my hubby’s through with school and we’re a dual income household again.
Hope everyone has a successful Friday and a good start to their weekend.
good idea for the weekend. when i looked back on my food log, i found that i was sabotaging 5 good days with saturday and sunday. so i started my ‘good’ weekends 2 weeks ago, and i really started to notice it in the scales. plus, i wasn’t groggy on monday, and i didn’t feel bloated all weekend. why do we continue to make ourselves miserable with food? it is something i will never understand about myself, though i don’t know if i will ever truly conquer it. i will just continue to fight it for the rest of my life.
i saw the treadclimber on tv, and i instantly wanted it. i don’t have the room though. plus i pay my gym $20/month, and i feel indebted to them.
good luck this weekend. try to log over the weekend, and maybe it will help!
How do you like TurboJam? I’ve thought about getting the DVDs, but can’t decide.
Weekends are my toughest times, too. I work hard all week and just want to have some relaxation time….but, I can’t really relax because I’m always trying to fight the urge to treat myself with off-plan food.
Let me chime in there and say ME tooooooooooo!
I usually can behave thru the week but weekends are the pits.
Keep fighting the fight!!!!
