The Weekend

I had Labor Day weekend all to myself, with little interaction with other human beings.  The kids were at their dad's house, and since we all know that C. is out of my life, I didn't have him as a reason to throw my entire weekend away on someone.

I think that a two day weekend is perfect for staying on the wagon--just as I am beginning to think of straying from my plan, it's time for the work week to get started again, meaning that I have to get back on schedule.  Three day weekends can be disaster, I have learned.  I have too much free time, and not enough willpower to fill 72 hours with non-stop running, biking, etc.  Lying around watching movies, or going out to eat and drink is just way too much fun.

Any pointers that anyone can give me as to how to fill my idle time will be much appreciated.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, this is the reason why I gave myself a year to lose 30 lbs.  I knew that I had to be real and know that I was going to hit rough patches, but man, I gotta get out of this one.

Can anyone tell it's been a "glass half empty" kinda weekend?

Still, I will keep pressing on. 

I naively thought at the beginning of this endeavor that this was a simple battle against the scale.  I am quickly learning that the battle is against myself.  How do I win?

  1. Find a really good book to read while on the treadmill - or look up some healthy veggie dinners to prepare ahead of time. Take a walk - not for the exercise - but for the relaxation of walking. You can do this - you are a determined woman and I have faith in you!

  2. Thanks for the great advice, Anony. Healthy veggie dinners sound fantastic...and an actual walk just for relaxation? Perfect!
