A Fresh Start

This weekend was a weekend off. I did not plan to take the weekend off, but by Friday I just declared it so.

I didn't count calories, I didn't exercise, I didn't log my food, and I ate take out... alot! McDonalds (twice), Chinese and Panera bread, including a bagel or two at my home. I even had a margarita for dinner on Saturday night. No food - just a margarita. So, when I weighed in today, I was prepared for a 5 plus pound gain. But, I was down 5 pounds! WHAT?!?

This makes 21 pounds gone. Hey, I'll take it.

I read Karen's blog and saw that she too was indulging in treats too. She identified that it is no good to deny a type of food entirely, but that it should be reserved for something special. I totally agree. But, the truth is, even a small respite from healthy eating is good for the soul, even if its not good for the mid section. I'm back on board with my exercise, and eating plan and my reading again. I'll just start after one more sausage and egg panini.
