weekends are tough

I have discovered my downfall of my weight loss goals.... WEEKENDS!  I am really good all week (lost 3 pounds this week)!!!  But by the weekend I am tired of being good and ignoring my sweet friend chocolate.  Also, on the weekends I am out with friends and it is tough to make healthy choices when you eat out.  This weekend I invited a friend and my sister and her fiance over to play games and what did we eat?  pizza!  It wasn't the greatest pizza ever, but did I eat it?  You betcha!  And did I eat the ice cream?  Guilty!  And did I eat the left over pizza today... I sure did... I couldn't let it go bad!  And oh wait.... did I have another bowl of ice cream.... did I ever.  I will just stop at that because this confession is getting uglier by the moment.  I just cannot allow myself any cheats (or big cheats) because I have a hard time stopping at one and getting back on track.  It would be fine if this was once in awhile but it feels like it is every weekend.  SMH!

This weeks menu:
Breakfast:  Egg muffins (from primalpalate.com)

Snack:  apple slices with almond butter

lunch:  spinach salad, red peppers, carrots, chicken
plus a piece of fruit if I am still hungry.  The salad is pretty big though so I'm not sure that I will be.

snack:  yogurt OR some almonds and fruit

Dinner:  I'm not sure yet.... I bought a ton of veggies though so I'm going to concoct something tomorrow night that will include: cauliflower, broccoli, red, yellow and green peppers and chicken or beef... not sure which I'm in the mood for yet.  I may also include some pesto.  I was indecisive today.  :o)

I know I'll be fine this week... it's next weekend I'm worried about.... and let's not even begin thinking about the following weekend when I am quite possibly going to be sitting at Fenway.... Oh boy... I'm in trouble....
