Probably the only challenge I face is that during the week, I have a strict regimen based on I am at work, school, then home, so there is structure. On the weekends, my structure is there for the morning as I get up, internet for a bit then walk, fix breakfast. But after that I have a bit of a free wheeling period. what saves me is the fact that I still eat at my prescribed times that I do during the week. Snack at 9, lunch around 11ish, snack at 2 and dinner around 6ish. That has kept me pretty much in line for the weekends.Shane G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16220002629075223076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245684570480082037.post-90380326127244153312010-10-25T21:26:30.125-07:002010-10-25T21:26:30.125-07:00Did you make a deal with the devil to get the Rang...Did you make a deal with the devil to get the Rangers in the Series??? First Oklahoma goes down, now Romo gets crunched. That Cowboys performance was pathetic in so many ways! But I liked the guy with the "Cliff Lee for QB" sign!

And we all get there our own way. Some people get really mad when you don't restrict certain foods or call your lifestyle a "diet" but it's all the same in the end. you always inspire me!

I only recently started rewarding my long runs with food, which is probably not a good thing, but around mile 8 it sure helps get me through! One of these days I'll have to change that. :)Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09268130692900152965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245684570480082037.post-18694227978679486632010-10-25T17:04:57.777-07:002010-10-25T17:04:57.777-07:00Bravo!

It totally touches on everything that I think everyone needs to believe in, in order to succeed and I agree with almost every word. I say almost because I was speed reading and I'm not sure if I missed a word or two that I didn't agree with, lol.<br /><br />My weekends are ok. They're not that great, but they are getting much better. I have realized that I can't always count calories when I go to birthday parties and family gatherings, but I can still eat healthy and not ruin anything for myself! Just because I can't count calories doesn't mean I should eat a piece of cake that I clearly wouldn't touch if I knew I had a set amount of calories left.<br /><br />-Raych<br />http://losingwithraych.blogspot.comRachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03956642954297492051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245684570480082037.post-90038415904414607052010-10-25T16:46:54.034-07:002010-10-25T16:46:54.034-07:00You are so right!!

No pizza for me just throw me the water bottles!<br />I know when i get home i've got homemade chili in the crockpot and a glass of wine that i've counted into my daily calorie count!

It comes at an apportune time for me as i have been going from strength to strength since the start of my <i>"lifestyle adjustment"</i> 57 days ago, but this weekend i faltered....not in too major a way but it was definitely a falter, and it was brought on by me drinking a few glasses of vino instead of the One i usually limit myself to at the weekend. <br /><br />The points you raise are bang on the money and i am also NEVER going back to my old ways so i have picked up today as if nothing out-of-the-ordinary happened at the weekend because, as you say, I have a CHOICE and i am choosing to fight the flab and this is infinitely more important that a bag of crisps, or a piece of chocolate.<br /><br />Good post.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01662733977843074015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245684570480082037.post-89921232839132591242010-10-25T09:48:32.711-07:002010-10-25T09:48:32.711-07:00Amen!

You'll notice that the pink parts are ALL on Friday's or Saturdays--meaning I've overindulged on the weekends. The good news is that there hasn't been a pink peak for the past few weeks.
