Day 6: A few new rules

So I've decided to make a new rule for weekends. No counting calories and no weighing in. It's just not fair to myself. Today for instance I had a great breakfast (at noon though lol I slept in). Light and no carbs but high protein. I was fine with that until dinner. Dinner was heavy. I met with some friends and had pizza then when to Cheesecake Factory for dessert. You know what I treated myself. I was on my way to the gym when then invited me out. I stuffed my face and still went to the gym on a sat night. The reason I came up with that rule is because you need breaks. If I guilted myself about not doing the numbers and stuff all weekend then I'd give up by Monday. 

Think of it like this. Regardless of dieting and exercise I'd still eat out with friends or go to BJs for the football game and enjoy myself. So instead of bringing myself down about doing those things I need to praise myself for working out and working off all those calories that would have other wise never been burned. 

Rule two. If I decide to not count or weigh in on weekends then I need to be a little more strict during the week. It's a give and take even with yourself. Be reasonable and work with yourself. Not against yourself. 

I'm not happy with the numbers I'm seeing on the scale which is why I haven't reported them. Last I checked it was back up near 236. I might have to knock it down to every other day or a few set days for weigh ins. Staring at such big fluctuations can be annoying. 

Anyway tomorrow is a football day. Patriots are gonna kick ass and I'm going to enjoy myself. Come Monday my ass is gonna have to be in overdrive ;)
