Wednesday's are always a challenge.....


Quote  |  Reply

It seems like after I go to the store on Sunday's and stock up on good for me foods I do good for Monday and Tuesday and then on Wednesday I start slacking off.  For example this morning I got fast food for breakfast:  chicken biscuit and a large soft drink.  Now I have already had 700 calories this morning and I only have 800 calories left if I want to stay at my 1500 calories goal per day.   Why is it so hard to stay motivated??  How can I get over this Wednesday drop off issue?

We all have our demons. Here is what I am doing with hopes to get myself back to where I was.  I add exercise. Meaning for me, alcohol at the end of the day is my big vice. I like a pop or two. Problem is alcohol turns into fat no matter what, it is an empty calorie.  I work out and burn the calories I consumed. So a double or two drinks may cost me 380 calories which is an extra 30 minutes of cardio.  If it was a full proof system, I would not be dieting and not drinking for the next month or so.  Anyway, you can walk off and burn some of that breakfast. Good luck Wednesday is the middle of the week, your tired, burnt and wishing it was Friday. It's fairly common to have slips mid week. Hang in there.
