Day 36

Weigh in: 219.2

Yeah, so I had a bad weekend, up 5 pounds.  I didn’t really pay much attention to what I ate, I did exercise quite a bit, 2 hours on Saturday. I don’t exercise on Sunday.  Anyway, enjoyed some good meals, tons of calories, birthday cake, candy bars, and gaining 5 pounds was my reward.

I have this deal with myself, if I gain weight over the weekend, I have to exercise 120 minutes a day until I get back to the weight I was going into the weekend.  So although I have already exercised 80 minutes today, I have another 40 to do later today.  I really need to just watch my calories over the weekends, but there is something about doing it, that makes the weekends feel like the weekdays, and I can’t relax nor unwind. Makes sense I guess.  At work being responsible is easy, I have no choice. On the weekends, I am sick of being responsible, I just want/need a break to keep somewhat sane.  The people that watch their caloric intake everyday, have to be on the verge of a major breakdown. I think I am as mentally tough as most folks, but you just have to unwind eventually, or something is going to pop.  I would rather it be my waistline, than my mental stability.

Oh well, we all must pay for our mistakes, and my aching legs remind me constantly of my many delicious mistakes last weekend.
