Attitude:
Alright, I need to work on my weekend schedule. I really enjoy sleeping in, but because I've been working out on Saturdays (due to missing a workout during the week), I miss breakfast because I don't want to eat before I work out. So, I'll either need to find something lighter to eat, wake up earlier, or don't miss any workouts during the week. :o) Anyway, I ate a pretty big meal when I got back from working out because I was so hungry. I don't think I'll go over the carb count today, but I like to spread those carbs out a little more. I counted my big meal as a morning snack because it was between breakfast and lunch. Well, it's now night and some observations of the day are in order. I think if you don't start your day on the correct path, it's a lot harder to get on it. I only had 2 meals and one snack today. And for dinner, I had 2 helpings. The plus side is that the food I chose wasn't carb laden, however the mentality behind the eating of 2 servings was an attempt to cover up my feelings of tiredness. I know I was "blind" eating, you know, the kind of eating where you aren't really paying attention to the eating, but are just shoveling it in as fast as you can. I've known that this would be part of getting healthier and reaching my goal (overcoming the emotional eating) so I'm not disheartened and the lesson I've taken away is that I need to keep some sort of schedule even on the weekend. I'll just have to schedule the sleeping in. :o)

Rachel,

I understand about weekends. I too am having some trouble with them. I have a bit of a different schedule on days off. Like today here it is almost 10:30am and I have not exercised yet only eaten breakfast. On week days by this time I have exercised, eaten breakfast, gotten the kids off to school, showered and dressed, and usually at work or aleast on my way. I will be off to exercise and then shower and dress here in the next 15 to 30 mins. I usually wait about an hour after eating to exercise.
