I can't say I'm surprised by the 1lb weight gain after my failure to stay on track this weekend and the loads of salt that I didn't really realize were in last night's dinner until I started logging it in. So far, so good this week though! I've got the trainer tonight, so that will kick start my workouts for the week too.

I've noticed that I've been feeling SO much better now that I'm eating mostly healthier meals. It's definitely closer to how I felt before the wedding (when I was working out 4 days a week and eating well), which is where I want to get back to. Even though I didn't lose much weight during that time, my clothes fit better, my body looked more toned and I just felt better. Now I just have to remember that each and every time I'm about to slip off track...

Happy Monday! Usually I kind of hate Mondays, but lately I haven't been minding them too much because they've helped me get back on track. I was doing SO well Friday and half of Saturday, then the hubby wanted to order pizza... ugh. Don't get me wrong, I love pizza, but it's definitely one of my "trigger" foods. I had one slice and one boneless buffalo wing to start, but then ended up having a second of both. It really wouldn't have been that bad if we didn't wait until after 10pm to eat.

Sunday started out better, but ended in a mini-binge of sorts. I started off the day by making a baked blueberry oatmeal. I saw it on Pinterest awhile back and have been meaning to try it ever since, so when I noticed the recipe AND the fact that I had bananas and blueberries to use up, I was sold. It was delicious, but I waited until almost 1:30pm to make it after getting up around 10:30am. I think that delay sent me into a tailspin, as I finished off the day with another slice of pizza, three more buffalo wings, an apple with PB, a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and a cupcake. I'm sure there were a few other random snacks in there too. Sigh. This happens to me ALL the time on weekends, even if I go into the day with the best intentions. The binging must stop! That's why I'm writing it all out here. Maybe having a record to go back and read will help me recognize more of a pattern? Either that or knowing I'll have to write about how I failed miserably yet again might be a deterrent. We shall see!

Last night I had dinner out with a friend (after FINALLY finding the perfect pair of brown leather riding boots for my larger-than average size calves!). My meal consisted of:

- 3 steamed pork dumplings with bok choy
- 1 glass of Reisling
- a Polynesian salad: Fresh Slices of Grilled Chicken Breast Layered with Mixed Greens, Mango, Papaya, Pineapple, Cucumbers, Green Onions, Red and Yellow Peppers, Green Beans, and Crisp Wontons with Macadamia Nuts and Sesame Seeds. Tossed in Plum Dressing.

I skipped the bread, stuck to one glass of wine (and 1 Bud Light later in the evening), removed the crisp wontons from my salad, and asked for the dressing on the side so I could use it sparingly. Overall, I was happy with these choices on a night I'd normally over-indulge. I did skip the gym today, but made plans to meet a friend there tomorrow. So far, it's been a pretty healthy weekend and that's something I definitely feel good about :)

I'm pleasantly surprised by the significant change from yesterday morning to this morning. It's probably mostly water weight, but I'll take it! Today is a "food day" at work, so I'm a little worried about keeping on track. I've decided to have a bagel for breakfast as my indulgence, but have my healthy lunch and snack as planned.
