Oh, Monday, how I don't like you... (LJ)

So, I didn't do very well over the weekend. I did learn that weekends are going to be a challenge for me. They are relaxing and so I don't plan ahead. This can be good, but it can also be BAD! I realized this weekend that my kids expect to get something to eat almost every time we leave the house. This is just sad! I explained to them that our habits are changing and that we aren't going to do this anymore. In the past, we tend to go out to eat frequently on the weekends. So, now I know what the challenge is and I'm going to tackle it. I wasn't completely horrible, I just could have done better.

One good thing is that I took the stairs all weekend. We live on the fourth floor, too. I told you that I am writing a food journal, right? Well, I didn't write it, but I logged it. Go to myfitnesspal.com and sign up for an account. You can set up your goal weight and how quickly you want to achieve that goal. Next, go into your account daily, or if you're like me, about 3 times a day and log your food and exercise. It's so easy! They keep track of everything for you and you can see your progress on there. When you put each food into the tracker it logs the nutritional value and then deducts it from your daily intake goal and leaves you with the amount of calories and such that you have left for the rest of the day. I love it. Try it out and see if you like it.

So, I was a little naughty, but I didn't blow the whole thing and today is a new day, right? OJ, how did you do this weekend?
