I continue to struggle with the weight loss program on the weekends. There are just way to many distractions and temptations. The good news is, I didn't gain any weight.

Today's weigh in: 318 lbs straight up. No change from Friday morning.

Actually, I feel pretty good about it all considered. Sunday I did absolutely nothing but lie around and watch TV. Well we did go to the pool and lie around for a couple of hours and I sat in the jacuzzi. The truth of the matter is that my bad back was acting up yesterday, so I took it easy.

Saturday was pretty busy. I did do my sit ups and rode the bike 2 miles but it was later in the day and not when I first got up. So much for the test I am doing for the morning cardio. No big deal, I got up early this morning and put in my 2 miles, so the test continues.

I did quite a bit of eating this weekend but nothing drastic. Yesterday we did go to Sweet Tomato all you can eat buffet, but these days, my stomach has gotten used to eating small portions and I was stuffed after 2 plates of salad. I did have a small bowl of frozen yogurt, but that was it.

Saturday we had barbecued pork chops and macaroni and cheese. I limited myself to just 2 pork chops and a normal sized portion of mac and cheese. In the old days I would have eaten 4 pork chops and a huge bowl of mac and cheese. Several months of eating "small" is starting to make an impression. 

Remember, losing weight is about changing your life style. If you don't change your life style, the weight is going to come back. Natural weight loss is gradual weight loss.

The problem that I have on the week ends is that I don't have a set routine. Especially when the family and I get out and about. I don't drink enough water, like I do during the week, and I don't eat a small snack every few hours. I am convinced that this is the problem, but as long as I am losing weight during the week I'm happy. After all…I have lost over 30 lbs so far this year.
