weekends, oh hell no!

How to survive the weekend

I am very disciplined during the working week, but it's really tough to stay focused during the weekend. Therefore I feel that all my hard work in the weekdays are almost a waste of effort, the weight stacks up saturday and sundays anyway.

Do I make bad food choices? Eat too much? Hibernate instead of hitting the gym? I sure as hell do!

So how do I break this regime?

I have good intensions, but as I leave work on friday all bets are off, so to speak.

Well you know by now that I'm a listomaniac, so here it is:

My list of how to gain control of the weekends.

1) If I need to eat more during the weekend, I will make healthy food. (Pasta is the big bad wolf in my case, I just cannot stop)

2) Reduce the alcohol intake, I always want to eat when I'm drunk.My guard just drops! Beeing drunk is fun, but the costs are too heavy (pun intended indeed) (no not moneywise, weightwise)

3) My gym has reduced the opening hours during the weekend, so I need to suplement with other activities. (and frankly, if I didn't drink I would make it to the gym in the mornings, so it's all connected)

4) Taking a 15 minutes walk is better than no exercise, so I'll do that when I miss out at the gym, maybe even a longer walk.

5) I'm gonna try to keep up with my journal in the weekends (weightlog and calorie log) to get a better picture, and to make myself more aware and alert.

6) I must drink more water, Its easy at work, but I keep forgetting when I'm off work.

7) Do more family activites and outdoor games, Burn calories and be a good husband and father.

8) Just stop eating junkfood and snacks, I don't need it. Late night snacking is a fucking curse.

9) Get more sleep. I hate sleeping, i feels so pointless - sleeping away life. ...but I do understand that I have to if I want to maintain steady weightloss and to recharge my batteries.

With some planning I will turn the weekends around. I will have good weekends with no regrets from now on.

Back on track, finally!
Published: April 30, 2008

My illness made me gain about 10 lbs (or I did actually, hehe)

I've shed the weight again and then some. I've been at the gym every damn day and been eating sensibly.
Look at this weird looking weight curve, fuck me, it shows how easy it is to slip.

What did I actually do to pick myself up?

First I had to ask myself if I was still motivated to do this, and the answer was a sound YES. It is so much easier to put the weight on than it is to loose it, and I knew I was in for some very hard work.

I put up a list of what had to be done.

1) I needed to get my calorie intake under control again
    When I was sick I ate just about everything, all was alllowed. I started to track my food intake more detailed.

2) I needed to get back at the gym
    This was actually the hardest part, I felt weak and I guess I was still a bit on the down when I started again. BUT I did it anyway, I started easy and increased the intensity as I got better.
    I also increased the number of days that I went to the gym each week.

3) I decided not to be too hard on myself
    It had happened and there's nothing I can do about the past, I told myself to look ahead and to stay positive. I had to accept my imperfections, hahaha!

4) I needed to learn from the previous mistake.
    I wrote down what to look for and what to do if it happened again (when it happend again, we all get sick from time to time). I must not embrace the illness, and not make it an excuse for
   all indulgances known to man. Get well and start over again! The Weight curve was an eye opener, it made me realize how big the fuck-up was.

5) Don't count on someone else to get you back on track, this I had to do myself.
    I like to get support from my family and friends, but this one noone could help me with, except me.

6) I needed to look at my goals and read my previous posts.
    This site is a motivational tool for me first, and if someone can draw some help from it that's nice. But I read everything again and found out that I had done allmost everything the way
    I inteded before I got ill. So I just had to start doing the same again. This was very encouraging to me!

7) I read as many motivational articles I could find on the web.
    Sparkpeople helped me, they really did. They've got some good writers and fine advice.

8) I made a new "mixtape"(actually mp3 collection) for the exercise.
    As I've said before, music is my best motivation, so this was fun. It's important to have fun.

I'm back in buisness and weigh less than I've done in a very, very long time. This lifechange operation is a hell of a roller coaster ride!
