HOLD MY FEET TO THE FIRE! ACCOUNTABILITY: WEEKEND UPDATE
Tell the whole truth and be accountable. Have you given thought to how weekends differ from the rest of the week? They can be so much more difficult to get through. How do you enjoy slipping into weekend mode and still reach your goals?
The answers will vary by your lifestyle. Each one's approach may be simple or multifaceted. Notice the overt and subtle differences and work positive responses into your behavior.
Weekends and special times will always be with us. No need for a setback come Monday.
...All are welcome, jump in at anytime.

V'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
I fell face first into the peanut butter yesterday getting half my calories from it. The upside is I managed to keep my calories and carbs under plan. Moreover, because of the peanut butter, my fats are in line for the day too. Met all my targets for protein, carbs, net carbs, fats, calories, water.
Trying to hold it together even if the scale is not moving. Or worse, still going backwards.
Made it through Sat but not without major carb damage. Two servings of popcorn plus the carbs in sf cream and fudgesicles and sf angel food cake did me in for both net and total carbs. No one 'bad' thing but too many in snacks which should be limited.
Protein in check, fat ratio too low, water on point, calories below plan. Please God don't let me eat anything else before sunrise. The bourbon and cigarettes are calling me. I made it out of the supermarket without benson and hedges but evan williams is waiting just down the hall.
Pray for me people. I must use Sunday to balance Saturday.
Here's what I ate Sunday.

Your day was not too bad and its only one. The repeats are what gets you. Stay strong!
Everyone, well I'm getting back on track for what feels like the 100th time :) I've been exercising 5 days a week for about a month. I joined the Y and am glad that I did. I usually exercise for 60-90 minutes after work.That being said my eating is f- - - - ed up no other way to say it. I keep pushing the envelope because I thought I could but now the pounds are creeping up just slightly but all it takes is 5 pounds here & 2 pounds there then next thing you know you've gotten completely out of control.
There is no reason I have not reached goal other than my focus has not been consistant. I know this is a lifelong change but sometimes I forget and pretend that I am "normal". NOT.......I've always been the type of person that I gain weight y inhaling carbs nothing has changed. WHY are carbs sooooooooooo good. My biggest problem is sweets have have craved sweets the for first time in my life for several months now and yes, I have caved in to the cravings.
I always drink a protein drink in the mornings and my plan is to drink another one daily after working out. The main thing is to limit my carbs and eliminate the desserts (no I never dumped).
Keep up the good work everyone and stay on target
Change is a Process Not an Event
I get my sweet fix through atkins bars and sf wls friendly recipes. Rarely do I have shakes now. I use protein powder but to make lc treats instead. The downside is I have to make my own.
Lets face it, never eating the stuff we crave just won't do it in the long run. Time to make a healthy version we can enjoy in moderation.
