The weekends are going to be the tricky part! I don't even need to fill in my food during the week after Monday, because it's exactly the same Monday-Thursday--oh, it'll be a different flavor of Luna Bar, and either hummus or tuna on my bagel for lunch, a different Amy's or Ethnic Gourmet frozen dinner (I don't cook, period, but a nice side effect is knowing my dinner calories at a glance!). However, with these minor variables, my week-day food is planned out and easy to implement: small meals and snacks to keep my blood sugar and metabolism on track.
But Friday dinner through Sunday I'm eating out with my husband, and anything goes! We love trying all the interesting restaurants in our town, and he eats whatever he wants because he's a serious athlete who burns a ton of calories. He thinks nothing of jogging 10 miles, weight-lifting/body-building, and he's training for a half-marathon. This is great for me because he's super-hot, LOL. But I can't eat like he does; my workouts are far more mild-to-moderate. I think logging weekend food and being more aware that I can't just eat like him is going to be the key to getting my weight back where it was a year ago, i.e. before we got married! He's very supportive and I know he won't undermine me; I just have to make a mental note to not let caloric hell break loose on the weekends, ha!
