Getting back on the Hampster Wheel

It is Monday morning and because I wasn't obsessive about everything over the weekend, I did not have a good morning on the scale.  Last week, I have four AMAZINGLY perfect days.  I ate perfectly and I worked out every day.  Stellar!

But then the weekend came along.  I feel like I was okay on Friday.  I worked out.  I ate very well for breakfast and lunch.  For dinner, I splurged a little but it was Mediterranean food and not really heavy.  I did have a few drinks though which are empty calories.

On the balance side, I had fun Friday night and I don't think I would have changed a single thing.

Saturday and Sunday, I didn't work out at all and I made not-so-stellar food choices.  In a quest for balance, let's assess, shall we?

While I am fine with my choices on Friday, I'm not fine with my choices for Saturday and Sunday.  I know that not ever weekend will give me an opportunity to eat well and exercise, but I should take advantage when I can.  I didn't work out either day because I was lazy.  There was ample time both days.

But for argument's sake, let's say that I couldn't work out.  I could have made better food choices.  Bad choices:

• Saturday dinner - healthy option, too big of a portion.
• Too many drinks Saturday night.
• Sunday breakfast - not a healthy option, too big of a portion.
• Sunday dinner - healthy option, too big of a portion.

I'm not telling myself that I need to eat grilled chicken and veggies for every meal, but there are opportunities to pick low hanging fruit here.  I did NOT need to go back for more on Saturday and I should have had half my portion on Sunday.  I think it is clear that I need a fill. ******

****  I literally just took a break to go schedule a fill.  If I'm going to do this, I'm going to do this.  Unfortunately, I got voicemail, so hopefully she calls back soon.

On a positive note, I'm really glad that I'm working out so regularly.  I'm going to attempt to run today, but if my shins bother me AT ALL, back to the elliptical I go. 

Taking a break from health & fitness, my life was pretty great this weekend.  I enjoyed time with my friends on Friday and had a lovely lazy day on Saturday.  Yesterday I saw Zero Dark Thirty and really enjoyed it!
