staying on track over the weekend, anyone interested in a challenge?

[LauraH]

i really struggle over the weekend and also on the days i get home early from work!! anyone interested in trying to help each other stay accountable.......even on the weekend? maybe journal our food or set a certain amount of calories (or points), that we want to stick to. i think that would help me to stop and think about what i'm eating if i've set a goal and have to report in to you guys about it.

what do ya think? anybody game?

[Laura]

i find weekends tough, too, laura, so count me in. the big thing with me is to keep wheat-free and everything else seems to fall in line, but once i start in on the wheat goodies, it's just a downhill slide

[Vickie]

I'm in!! I definitely need help on the weekends.
That's when the snack monster hits the hardest.

[LauraH]

good!! do you guys have any thoughts on how to do this? i want to stay on track, but maybe let myself have one treat or a couple hundred extra calories maybe on sunday.

ideas???? do we outline our goals on friday? pop in and report our success---cause we all will be successful!!! ---on saturday and sunday?

[Laura]

i like that idea, laura ~ outline our goals on friday & report in on the weekend. i generally avoid the computer on the weekend, but definitely have the time, so you'll see me here.

i also like allowing a little extra on the weekend, too. let's do this, ladies!

[Vickie]

Will be back by friday with my goals for the week
end.

[LauraH]

[LauraH]

oh brother........

Hi Laura, Hang in there...........The guys had pizza last
night.......you don't know how hard I argued with
myself that I did NOT need any.

A bad weekend so far! Went to Applebees last night aand had they honey barbeque chicken sandwich with fries and a baby sundae. I think they call it their shooter. And had family over tonight. I made a crocpot lasagna, garlic bread, salad and homemade carrot cake for dessert.

[LauraH]

what the heck?? no wonder we have such a hard time staying on track over the weekend!! pizza at vickie's house, applebee's for chris......... life doesn't stop for our diets, does it? the family wants to enjoy the weekend and eat good food while we worry about what the scale is gonna say on monday. tough going!!

i have to say though---that lasagna and garlic bread sounds toooooo goooood!! oh well, what did we say last week? mondays are for starting over.

[Laura]

sorry i didn't get here over the weekend ~ hectic saturday and lazy sunday!

i did better this weekend than most, but still indulged in some wheat-y food and had some halloween candy.

back to it today!

[Chris]

I say we skip weekends and work all week.

[LauraH]

ummmm............chris.................NO!!
