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.

Here is a few tips on weekend drinking.
Earn some AP's
Those 8 AP's can actually be 4 double Rum & Diet Cokes. And if you are good throughout the day and save a few more of your regular points (say 2 points) you can have 10 points to play with for Saturday night.
Drink plenty of water as well. Drinking will dehydrate you... so rehydrate throughout the night. So alternate; 1 Alcoholic Drink then 1 glass of water. That should space out your night and get your water back in.
As for not journaling on the weekend... try to journal first thing in the morning on the weekend. Plan breakfast and anything you KNOW you will have. That will give you an idea of what is left for the day. I also save at least 28 Flex for the weekend, just in case.
Good for you on working out on the weekend. I will be doing the same this weekend.

Congrats on the APs! 8 is amazing! I'll have to start working on AP goals, too. Working out is a key for me.
I ate out at a Mexican restaurant yesterday and contemplated getting a margarita, but it just would have packed on more points- since the lunch was already pretty point-high. kwim? JanetM97
