Yep… Still Friday

I woke up this morning praying it wasn’t Friday.  Before I figured out that it really was I was already thinking - Oh please don’t make me weigh-in - PLEASE!  But alas, it is still Friday and I weighed in.  It wasn’t AS bad as I thought but I did indeed put on 1.8 pounds this week.  Man did I screw up!  Barely any exercise, a big juicy cheeseburger, side of fries, and a salad loaded with blue cheese dressing!  (Shhh… don’t tell anyone, but I ordered EXTRA blue cheese!) Of course I put it on the side so I didn’t actually use all of it, but enough to make me very very happy - and very very regretful. 

I screwed up and good - don’t get me wrong, it was delicious!  But I didn’t need the blue cheese, the burger, and the fries all at once.  Which brings me to a problem that a lot of us have.  We screw up and we screw up big all at once.  If I had just eaten the salad with blue cheese it wouldn’t have been so bad, especially if I had mixed it with grilled chicken or something.  Or I could have chosen the burger with a big heaping side of veggies.  Or perhaps I could have gone with the fries on the side of healthy piece of fish or something.  But no… I had to have it all together in one sitting, in one meal.  It was bad, bad, bad, but tasted sooooooo good.  But isn’t that why we are heavy to begin with?  We like the food that is bad for us - which isn’t necessarily horrible, but we have to limit how much we have all at one time!  So, next time I am going to choose one or the other - but not all three at the same time! 

I hope your week was better than mine - I want to see BIG losses on the scales!  Tell us ladies - how did you do this week?

Well...I am down. 1 fricken ounce. I worked my ass off for 1 ounce. But hey - at least it’s a down right? *sigh*

I really don’t want to post this, but I am up 1.4 lbs. And my week really wasn’t all that bad. Eating wasn’t perfect, but was not terrible. Exercised every day except Tuesday.

I don’t think I have gained 1.4 lb of fat - I’m having that whole TOM thing right now, and for the past week I have been drinking way more water than usual - can’t seem to get enough, so I think I’m retaining water. I hope.

Still a little cranky about the whole thing though.

Hang in there guys - there are better weigh-ins ahead! I just know it!

Erin,
I have said it once and I will say it again:  My favorite tip for salad dressing is order it on the side then dip your fork into the dressing and from there your fork into the salad.  you will get all of the taste of the salad dressing with a fraction of the fat and calories.  I consistently use only about 1/3 of the dressing.

I’ll post tomorrow.  You won’t see any loss from me for at least 2 weeks starting next Friday, but I will be eating right its the workouts that will cause it until I get adjusted.

I am a bit sore from one set of things yesterday but not too bad.

I am off to enjoy my salad ( its the sunflower seeds that do me in Erin.

I know Gypsie, and I have tried it!!  But sometimes you just have to have the full dressing
