Add 1 more day and see if it helps. 

We all have bad days - tracking everyday helps me keep accountable - even if I eat off my plan, I still log. Focus on what is going well - you are eating pretty well and exercising - big improvement! 

HCB is right. Tracking will keep you on track! You'll soon be a pro at eating right All week! 

Yea but u gained what I lost back:( I feel so hopeless. I wish I could find a recipe I like that I can make in bulk for the week.  

planning and tracking helps keep focus on healthy choices. 

Yes, don't feel bad. We all love food, especially tasty food. I need to get back on my A-game too! 

Ill keep trying.. I had homemade chicken soup frozen in the fridge. I brought the whole tub to work for the week. I hope I can start meal planning in bulk so I don't have to cook too much over the week 

I'm still learning this because I tend to beat myself up when I have bad days....were all gonna have good and bad days but u just have to keep trying and restarting :) everyday is a new day 

Thank you. I am trying not to beat myself up. I literally gave up this weekend. It started with Friday night. I didn't realize it was lent. We were trying to eat sushi. Every sushi place had an hour and a half wait. We ended up eating at 9 pm at a burger join. I went all out with fries, burger and shake. =( It set me up for a long bad eating weekend! I need to somehow figure out how to eat healthy on stressful nights when I am so close to giving up

Weekends are tough indeed, I tend to eat out of boredom on weekends if I am not busy 

That is where the stupid girl scout cookies came in...they were eaten out of boredom!!!!! 

I know and those little girls scout are cute and at every place. 

I ate a box of Peanut Butter Patties in two sittings. I love them. 

the tagalongs? Those are so evil..i can eat a whole box too 

Thin mints have always been my favorite but my daughter said the new lemon ones are like crack. 

My sympathies. Between 1999 and 2005, I was a GS leader and Cookie Mom. Any given year, I had hundreds, even thousands of boxes of cookies at my house. Girl Scouts plan on those cookies being addictive. It took years, but I finally convinced my brain and my mouths that those cookies were illicit drugs and damaging to my health. I am no longer tempted. 

I'm struggling with the same thing. I have great control during the week and the weekend comes and it is like everything I do revolves around food. Don't really know what to do other than meal plan and try to pot lucks with friends that are also okay with being really healthy.  

@Moons Mom - That is how I would typically look at girl scout cookies. As poison or a bad drug. But my will power was already weekends from the stress of Friday night. Also I had a rough morning which kept me from working out on Saturday. This led to the girlscout cookies=[ I even have a paleo recipe that is very similar to the samoa cookie just without the bad ingredients and the grain. Next time if I am craving one I will make my paleo version of it. @Ashley Clara- Meal planning will help a bunch with weekends. Also keeping busy. I find my self eating less when I am not sitting around my place the whole day. If I keep busy with family, cleaning, my dogs. I don't think of food as much...but then again when I see my family its all about food
