I can not seem to get my shit together on the weekends. I did fairly well on Friday even though I woke up late. I ended up skipping dinner out for a friend's birthday and just showing up to the bar so I wouldn't have to eat and go over my calorie limit. But then, Saturday was a disaster.



Woke up late, but went for a run with the BF, by the time we were cleaned up and out of the house it was noon and time for lunch and we went to a local sports bar & grill to catch a game. I gave in and instead of having the salad like I should have (the place has a really good Greek salad) I went with the veggie burger. Which, when all is said and done isn't terrible. But I was full before finishing it, and I finished it anyway - mistake #1. Then, we got coffee for the drive over to his friends' house who was having a party for the game. We got their and they had snacks. I did good for about an hour, and then the Oreo dip called my name. Yep oreo dip. Basically it's made with oreos and coolwhip and you dip oreos in it. I had at least 6. Then, the spiced cider with Cpt Morgan's rum. I stuck to only one.  Then the granola bar and cinnamon bun later because I was starting to get hungry. Then, my BF decides to make dinner at which point it's like 9pm. So we had a really nice pasta with mushrooms that he makes with wine, butter and milk. FML. I feel like an epic failure sometimes.

Sunday, sleep in again because it was like 1am when we finally got to bed. I tried to do damage control and even though I continued to eat things that I really shouldn't have - bagel,  another cinnamon roll, & candy. I managed to keep my calories low-ish for the day and got a couple of long workouts in. Still today I am back to last week's weight. This morning didn't start much  better. I over slept so I didn't get my workout in. I'm supposed to start level 4 of Ripped in 30. I will still do it today, and I should have kept my calories low and clean (junk free), but of course  I didn't. Another cinnamon roll and a pumpkin spice cappucino for breakfast in the car on the way to work.  I know that I still have time to make it up.  And I had a huge calorie deficit from yesterday, I even took a laxie to clean out before I weighed in this morning. Maybe it will just take a little while to show.

But I am sick of losing weight during the week only to gain it again the weekend. I can't exactly tell the BF that I don't want to hang with him. I also can't blame him for my bad choices. I had a mini meltdown because of the butter and milk in the pasta sauce. And despite being irritated with me, he did ask me if he wants me to step in the next time I'm making bad choices (aka oreos and cinnamon rolls). I told him I didn't want him to have to be the "Food Police." But he said it's like what I do for him.  When we were at the party he had a couple of drinks was going to get a third when I looked at him and shook my head since we were supposed to be leaving, and he had work to do at home. He just gets overly social sometimes and it's easy for 1 drink to turn into 2 and quick chat to turn into hours. I didn't tell him he could, but I may have too.

The other thing that I am planning on doing is once I've finished Ripped in 30  I am going to cut my weight workouts to only 3 (instead of 5-6) times a week in the morning and the other days I am going to do two cardio workouts. Either running, kick boxing, dancing, or other aerobic dvd and then my regular run in the evening. I think it's going to be the best way to get rid of some fat off of the muscles I've been building.  I took measurements last week and I will take them again after Ripped in 30 is done to see if maybe I am putting on alot of muscle.  I know that Ripped in 30 is making me stronger, and building my stamina, but I need to lose this fat too!
