Help! It's the weekend!

[Zoo Keeper]

The weekend's beginning.....Don't get me wrong, I love the weekends-sleep late, catch a movie, gardening, trip planning...
but...
It's also the worse time for me....mindless eating!
I always seem to go over my points on weekends. During the week, at work, we don't allow eating on the callfloor (I manage an inbound callcenter) so it's really easy not to snack but the weekends are another story.

Is anyone in the same boat as me?

Ok First off you mentioned points so is it safe to assume you are doing WW>> I always have to keep very busy on the weekend sand structure my days or I will EAT and EAT!!!! When all else fails I cross stitch!!! my hacds are busy and so is my mind!!! I know I will be home until at least 3 or 4 tomorrow and will not be far from the computer!! PM oftenif needed!!!! Good luck!!

Thanks

Yes I am doing WW

I have a dinner to go to tomorrow at an Italian restaurant. I have 10 points banked but I am still very worried.

i agree weekends have always been a problem for me...except I jumped on the scale this am and he scale had dropped dramatically.....So, I'm going to try to not get any increase before my weighin on monday...

I'm going to stay focused...

Stay away from cream sauces!!! Any white sauce is very high in points. Something with a maninara sauce is a good chouice. Also thing like Chicken, veal or egg plant parmesan are usually fried!!! Choice carefully and you will be fine!!!! Do some extra excercise and try to eat light the rest of the day!! I have faith in you Zoo Keeper!!!

Sue, hubby just came in with the fresh veggies. I find if the bowl is left out, that's what I'll grab. I have the water in hand, and before I'll eat something, I'll set the microwave to beep in 20 minutes. If it beeps, and the carrots aren't doing the trick, I'll eat a little something. But, then, that's my plan. . . .Grazing HEALTHY all day long! My fingers are crossed for you! Good luck and remember the P-O-W-E-R is in your own hands!

Thanks everyone...Unfortunately it's damp and dreary here today. It's supposed to rain any time now, so my usual 2 mile walk is out. I guess it's time to pop in the Richard Simmons tape.
Side note: Richard Simmons is just about an hour drive from here this weekend. I saw him on the news last night. He does this weekend every Mother's Day weekend. I wish I was there. He can be annoying but I think the in person inspiration would be great. Maybe next year....
When I get back from dinner tonight, I'll let you know how I did.

Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Where's Richard???

Are you from northeast PA or North East, PA??

I live close to North East (which is near Erie) and I am just curious about how close Richard Simmons is.

Richard is in the Pocono's. I think he's at Split Rock Lodge to be exact. I'm in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Area.

Well--I'm back from my Mother's Day Eve dinner. I don't think my choices were too bad, Salad with balsamic vinegar & oil olive dressing, roasted chicken breast with cranberry stuffing and an orange glaze (I only ate about 1/3 of the stuffing) and yellow squash, zucchini and tomatoes medley. AND NO DESSERT.

I did have points banked so I didn't go over today.

Thanks everyone for your support.

Now tomorrow, I mow the lawn after lunch and then go on my 2 mile walk after dinner (if the weather is OK)

I do believe, I am back on track.

Thank You--Thank You--Thank You--Thank You--Thank You--Thank You--Thank You
