Ahhh, the weekend. It had its positive and negatives. Positives: I cooked on Friday and Saturday night. Sunday we had leftovers. There were no takeout nights, as there usually are on the weekends. Score one for me! During the Open House to sell our apartment on Sunday, we also got in a little extra exercise with a walk through the park. Despite the fact that I didn't track what I ate, I made relatively healthy decisions for my food, and did not binge like I usually do when I don't track.
Negatives: I did not track one thing, all weekend long. Not one minute of exercise, not one food, vitamin, glass of water. Usually, this would be a giant fail, but I surprised myself by keeping my eating under control. This was a major feat for me! I wish I could say that I made it through the entire weekend without eating one unhealthy thing, but that would be a lie. On Sunday, during the Open House, part of our time-killing strategy was to go get lunch. Hubs decided on Dunkin Donuts, since he had a gift card. Where we live, Dunkin Donuts and Baskin Robbins go hand in hand. I managed to abstain from eating ice cream for lunch, and had egg whites on a flatbread instead. I am sure it was still not "health food," but it was the healthiest option there. How is this a negative? Because afterwards, we went to the park, where the ice cream man was parked, and I ended up getting ice cream!! Face palm! What the hell was I thinking??
Overall, I still consider the weekend a success. Weekends in the past have always been absolutely disastrous, and I spend the better part of Monday, Tuesday, and sometimes Wednesday trying to get back on track. I am happy to report that it is Monday, I've had my vitamin and my cereal, and I am good to go on the good choices for the rest of the day. PS: It's all been tracked as well :)
