Once again, the weekend proved to be a challenge for me and my weight-loss discipline. I visited Mom and Dad again. Friday before I headed home, I had a 'healthy' dinner at the apt. When I got home, Mom and Dad took me to a Chinese restaurant where I decided to just have a light snack. I got soup and a roll of sushi, which isn't bad, but it pushed me over my RDI. I also could not resist picking on Mom and Dad's food.
At home, Mom and Dad always have snacks lying around. This weekend, I tried to stay away from the chocolates, but had a few pieces of dark chocolate. My real weakness was the pistachios in the family room.
Saturday had a success in that I ran for a full hour without breaks for the first time. Dinner was a challenge again with Mom's home cooked food. I tried to stop after 2 servings, but could not resist a 3rd. I limited my rice and avoided dessert...barely.
Today, we skipped lunch and as a result, I pigged out on chocolates and nuts that were out when we visited a family friend. I got home and ate a fairly healthy dinner, but could not resist some pound cake that was lying out on the counter.
Weekends have been a recurring problem ever since I've plateaued around October. This past weekend, I was able to control myself to some extent, but it wasn't enough. Until I can look at food and NOT impulsively start eating, I am just going to have to increase my weekly running by 30% or so. Mondays and Wednesdays I'll have to incorporate morning runs in addition to my daily evening workouts. I might as well get used to it to make it easier once I start training for my half-marathon in October.
Since I will be doubling my running on Mondays and Wednesdays, I will have to watch out for increased hunger. I MUST maintain my usual 1300 calorie intake on weekdays.
I will continue to work on my weekend discipline. This coming weekend will be difficult. Restaurant with friends on Friday, bar/club with friends on Saturday, and Restaurant with Mom and Dad on Sunday.
