Do or Do Not. There is no Try

Thursdays is where my weekly resolve starts to crumble. I can usually still stick out the healthy eating and exercise until Saturday, but Thursday is where it always starts. I start anticipating the time off of work, thinking about everything that needs to be accomplished (and that I inevitably procrastinate on) and generally looking forward to it. When the weekend finally does roll around I am totally off my game and I end up binging.

And since Thursday is where it starts, today I've decided to come up with an action plan for this weekend. I can't work hard during the week only to blow it on one or two days because I can "restart" on Monday. My scale keeps bouncing up and down, with out really going anywhere. So... This weekend I am going to:

1. Weigh myself saturday and sunday mornings. I had not been weighing myself because I didn't want to see the damage my binges were doing. But, I think if I weigh myself and see the weight holding or going down I will be more motivated.
2. Exercise first thing in the morning regardless of what time I wake up. I had been sleeping in which made me hungry when I woke up. Then I wouldn't get to my exercise until later if at all.
3. Post on my blog for the 30 Day Challenge. I usually only blog at work so I can kill some time, but I will put my daily calories and workouts up even on the weekend.
4. Question why I'm eating. Am I'm hungry or bored? I tend to eat when I am bored or procrastinating. I am sure it's an emotional thing. I know I should be getting work done, but I put it off by watching tv, reading and eating.
5. Make a menu plan and stick to it. If I decide what I am going to have and how much, figure out my calories ahead of time (might be a good project for Friday night at work) then I'll be more likely to stick to it.
6. Have a positive attitude. No more "the weekend are so difficult" talk. That's an excuse to justify my binges. From now on the weekends are like other days where I have a certain number of calories and meals and I need to stick to it. Being at home working is not an excuse to buy sale valentines candy and chips to pig out.

Some day I want to be Strong enough to do this
