Mondays every week are a little blah for me. Why? Why are they? I don't know. I am a stay at home mom. Most of my days look fairly similar to the others. But Mondays, I have to face the damage of the weekend on the scale. Not good today. Not good at all. Gain of 5 lbs. I know it isn't really 5 lbs. Because tomorow it will be 3 lbs and Wed 1 lb and by Friday I will be back to right about 134. I never ever understand why the weekends derail me so easily. I have such strong will power all the live long week through and then something about the name of the night "Friday" and the day "Saturday" and then the day "Sunday" makes my brain think that is break time. And I should wreck havoc on my weekly progress by eating like the old Teri. Each weekend I tell myself. "Ok, Teri. Pick one day. Pick one meal a day. Pick!! Pick!! But more often than not, I end up splurging all weekend through and then the dreaded scale says 139 and not 134. I hate it. I hate it every weekend. But I continue to do it. So. I drank one can of diet dr pepper yesterday. It didn't even taste good to be honest. It was my last can at home and I don't shop on Sundays. So I had a boring ol can of soda. And with it tasting all yucky, I was thinking about my friend who just stopped cold turkey because if she did she got to buy some new sunglasses. I thought to myself that if I stop until my vacation in June, I can get a pedicure before I go. I don't need the soda. I know it is like poison to my body, but until now I haven't been ready to give it up. I think I am ready now. I feel like today, looking good, and having a strong lean body is more important than any drink or any food. I have set a goal for the next 24 days to not eat candy/cake/processed treats and no soda, but if I eat perfectly planned I can have a 100 calorie skinny cow treat at night. I am already a clean eater exclusively, well except when I go crazy on the weekend and see chocolate covered blueberries. (Yes they were the down fall this weekend) I think this is very doable and I think I will be happy with the results physically and emotionally that will come from sticking to my plan. My workouts are going better than ever. I am getting stronger and am anxious to take my next month pictures on June 1st. I am ready to stop feeling the ugly guilt cycle and start being more proud of how far I have come in my journey.
