Well, I am down two pant sizes since I started these shenanigans in February of this year (from size 18 to size 14). It's been almost four months, and I'm down ALMOST 20 pounds. I think I've pushed passed my last plateau and come to a new one. My weight over the weekend was 186.8, but it jumped back to 188.8 this morning. That could be water weight or something of the sort ... who can really tell. I ate relatively crappy over the weekend, but I don't know if it is possible to gain two pounds in two days ... not two pounds of fat at least.
My food sins over the weekend included a Mexican buffet (portion control goes out the window when I'm faced with a buffet), a HUGE cereal bowl of Caramel Turtle Cheesecake ice cream, a 6" Italian BMT and cookie from Subway, tacos made at home (probably not THAT sinful ... I only had two), and Zataran's Dirty rice (although it WAS prepared at home with very lean beef). The point being that I know I went far beyond my usual 1200 - 1500 calories each day.
I guess I need to work on reigning it in on the weekends. I eat SO healthily during the week that I'm SO ready to be a piggy on the weekend. Is it better to indulge yourself on the weekends, so you don't absolutely lose your mind ... or should I go through the rest of my life never enjoying the occasional treat? Quite the conundrum ... I'll just work on keeping my "treating" under control.
