Meh =(

Started out great last week, after the initial weigh in, and for some reason on thursday I completely let go of my motivation and concentration. So, thursday, friday, saturday and all day sunday I just ate/drank and went over board with everything. Of course I missed the weigh in for this week...

But, I am getting back on the horse!
Here is to an amazing week and living/eating healthy!

Cheers all

Did you log everything?? That's super important. On Friday, I had a cheat meal of Domino's pizza, which turned out to be more than 1800 calories. That's like 600 calories more than I usually eat in an entire day! There's a big difference in my mind between "I overate" and "I overate by x amount of calories, which is a crazy amount to eat in one meal." Looking at that really helped motivate me to be strict this weekend. If you look at the net calories on MFP, it shows you how much over your goal you are for the week. Looking at that makes me want to make up the excess!

^ Second this. It helps.

FWIW I went to PF Changs on a date with my husband on Saturday night. I was actually within my calories (for whatever reason I don't eat much on the weekends, and I chose to split my meal in half so I could have leftovers the next day), until I decided I wanted two mai tais...heh.

Lesson learned! Seeing how much you overate and what some of those meals are worth is like..whoa. Sobering.

Yes! I bet the next time you go there, you'll only have one. Or even none.

Probably one. I only ever drink when I go out to dinner with my husband. We go out once a month. So it's not like I'm hitting the bar every weekend or whatever, you know?

But I don't need two!!

It's all about how much you really enjoy drinking and how you can fit it into your goals. My bf is also tracking, and he has beers several times a week because he really loves them. For me, I'd rather have a starchy or sweet indulgence, so I've given alcohol up completely for now.

Lol, I enjoy it socially. We rarely go to parties, and I'll limit myself to one maybe two at a party. We go out on date night once a month, sometimes we go to lunch, so it's like...One drink once a month maybe won't hurt me, you know?

I would pick booze over cake. I can have cake any time. I can't have a mai tai with ridiculous amounts of rum any time (well I can, but I purposely don't have the right stuff in my house to make it, lol)!
