Dieting for the weekends!

Wednesday Jun 24, 2009

Since I first started exercising with the Wii Fit my biggest challenge was snaking and eating on the weekends. I have the most control Monday’s to Fridays but for some reason when the weekend hits I want to snack. I’m assuming it’s due to staying up later. Normally I go to sleep around 10pm and on the weekend that gets pushed to 1 or 2 am.

The best way to take control of my weekend snaking it to determine or compile a list of things I can to do in order to not think about snaking but still stay up late. During the week I drink lots of water in the evenings. This helps me psychologically not want to eat. If I get a craving for food I simply have a drink of my water and it fades away ever so slowly.

I don’t exercise during the weekends. As mentioned in my introductory posy I only do the Wii Fit Monday – Thursday. I was supposed to start doing the Wii Fit Fridays this month but it’s not looking good! For some reason I don’t have the motivation to add that extra day in my workouts.

Officially for the past month I have left the weekend gaining weight. Approximately I’ve been gaining 1-2 pounds per weekend. Come Wednesday this weight has been taken off and I start to go down again. As mentioned I’m currently sitting at 195 pounds and 6 weeks ago I was 205. That’s the heaviest I’ve ever been.

As I grow into a routine on the weekends I will keep you updated on my ideals and progress but as for now nothing happens. I’m assuming I will start walking in the evenings or mornings but to be honest my weekend is pretty packed right now and jammed for time. Groceries, laundry, cleaning the house and social activities keep me from working on my dieting and exercising.

That’s not to say I don’t have 30 minutes to get some exercise in I just haven’t dedicated the time slot yet. When I do my eating hobbits will change as well.
