The devil is on my shoulder
and he is reminding me its Saturday. The day of over indulgence and bad choices. Come on he says, its not gonna hurt ya. Come on, you know you are hungry. Hey, how about a cold one on a cold day. Eggnog anyone?
UGH!!!! How I hate this day of the week! I have been cleaning house and keeping my mind busy but the day is rapidly turning into night and my mind is now wandering away. Tom is in the woods and I am bored and I want something. The thing is, I’m not hungry. I know I’m not and I’m not really craving anything. But is Saturday afternoon which will soon turn into Saturday night and time to party, right?
Ok…so party is a strong word. But this is the night to sit around with friends and have a few drinks. But we all know drinking tends to make ya hungry and this leads us to over eating. I am trying to get ahold of myself right now and play tonight out in my head. He mentioned cooking burgers and fries tonight. Ok, I can do that. I have my 93% lean burgers, I can cook one of those. No reason to fry my fries, I can bake them in the toaster oven and even put a little 2% cheese on them if I like. Food crisis averted. But if I have one beer my control goes right out the window and I will dive bomb into the french onion dip! LOL!
So do I want to sit and nurse a Diet Coke all night when I really want to drink a beer? I’m not a huge drinker but I do like a Miller 64 or 2 on the weekends. So what to do?
Making goal Thursday all rides on tonight. If I do good, I really think I can hit it. If I dont, I will get really close but I wont make it until the next week. And is there really any pressure to hit it this week when I know the holidays are coming up and I plan on splurging some? I think I am once again thinking too much and over analyzing this whole thing.
Geez, I think I’ll go find something else to clean and stop thinking so damn much!

I hear ya, we always have to make a fast food run late when drinking. I just avoid it for now because it’s like you either get something to eat or get a hangover. I have tried drinking more low calorie drinks if I do get a drink like michalob ultra beer or a vodka press (fuzzy water, vodka, splash of sprite and a lime). BUT add 5-7 of them and I don’t think they are that great….this is why I avoid it all together.
So do you have a pair of jeans that you are dying to fit in to or something of that nature? I do and I try to put them on, match things with them and give myself the attitude adjustment needed to get to the goal I sooooo…. want.
So close to that goal…is the beer really worth it??? I know…much much easier said than done. Good luck
Christy - you can do it. What a great way to get thru it too, by blogging.
Thanks for the post on my comment, wayyyyy back on Nov. 4. 
I haven’t been in here much. Hope to do more posting.
Oh, Saturdays! I find them difficult as well - I need the structure of my work-week to help keep me on track!!
I knew I was going to go out and have a few beers with an old friend last night, so when I went to work out yesterday I worked harder and longer to compensate. I went out and had a great guilt-free time… and I earned it!
The reward system is such a good motivator!
