WI and Weekend Tracking

Good morning!

I made my goal of tracking all weekend, and I had a loss as well. I am now only 2lbs away from my 10% goal, I'm hoping to make it in the next few weeks :) This would be a huge thing for me, because it seems like I have been trying to get there forever! I only went to the gym once, and that was Saturday morning, oh well at least its a start :)

I am so happy that I didn't have to wake up and WI at 156 -158 again on Monday morning and work all week to get back to 153-154. This is a great start, and I hope that I broke my self imposed "plateau" And that I am on my way out of the 150's it has been waaaaaay to long here, and I am looking forward to the 140's (crossing fingers)

I also made my no more then 2 drinks on Saturday goal. I ended up going out Saturday night, but I kept myself in check, after last weekend, I think this was a much needed 'rule'. I had a bit of a drunken spill 2 Fridays ago, it was something that you would do when your 16 not 25, ha-ha..

I had an unexpected brunch to go to on Sunday, my DBF's family invited us to go to dim sum, I love dim sum! but I had to make sure I only chose the steamed food, not the yummy deep fried stuff, but it was still good, and more enjoyable because I didn't end up with a tummy ache afterwards. On Sunday night my Dad came to town on his way up to Fort Mac, I haven't seen my Dad in 3 years, due to him living in the States, and I was a broke University student and I was in Australia for a while as well. Anyway its been a great visit, we went for Greek food last night. Although I have been enjoying the visit, I still feel sad and I'm not really sure why.

cdndyme - Thanks for the Advice on weekend tracking, next weekend I am going to give it a try, I really want to aim for 'planning' my weekends, I am good all week, so it would be nice to carry it over in to the weekend. And the advice on the drinks is great, I will use it too if I go out next weekend :)

8 APs Yesterday!

It's finally the weekend, I am pretty tired from this week, work has been very busy and I have been working out everyday, I am determined to get out of the 150's. I made 8 AP's yesterday, I have never been able to get that many before, so this is a big achievement for me, as well as after tonight I will have surpassed my weekly AP goal of 25. It's been taking a few weeks to work my way up to be able to achieve more then 28 APs a week, but all of this hard work is finally paying off and it doesn't seem like work anymore, I feel really pumped to go to the gym and I feel really energized while working out.

I peeked at the scale and its down, so hopefully I can maintain the loss until tomorrow morning. Weekends are the wost for me, after lunch on Friday I 'forget' about tracking, not on purpose, and I don't really notice until Sunday, but this has caused me so many problems. I couldn't figure out why I was losing and gaining the same 5 pounds and its because I would be good all week and then the weekend would come and I would throw tracking out of the door, and use Saturday as a 'free' day, which has been consisting of heavy drinking and eating out after the bar. After Sunday I would be up and it would take me all of the week to get back down to where I started. I can't believe I didn't catch on to this routine earlier, but know that I know I do it, I have committed myself to stopping. This weekend I have committed to tracking everything, and having a 2 drink max on Saturday, if I do end up going out. I know I can do it, and I am excited to see the results after the weekend. I have even scheduled a work out date on Saturday morning.
