I feel like I have been eating nonstop since Thursday. I'm kinda happy to be back at work today, because I feel like I eat nonstop over the weekend - especially when the weather su*ks.
I wasn't planning on dress shopping till the summer because I wanted to lose weight, but I think I am going to start looking at the end of the month. I want to give myself a reality check that I NEED to lose weight for the wedding - Hopefully it works!
So here's to trying to get back on track AGAIN
Anyone have any ideas on healthy, fast dinners? I feel like that's where I struggle.

for dinner I usually buy the thin cut kitchen cutlets by Perdue. They take like an hour to thaw. I put some italian dressing on them and marinate them for like an hour. Then I grill them and make some veggies. One piece of chicken is less than 4 oz so even if you eat two it's not terrible for you. You can switch up the marinade so it's not the same thing every night. But it's healthy and satisfing. But by friday you're SO DONE with chicken.

Re: I am so disgusted with myself
i agree, the weekends are so hard! I also wanted to lose some weight before dress shopping, but I randomly went to shopping to start to try on some gowns the other week and it was a reality check that I better start losing quick so hopefully that will motivate you too! for dinners, i agree with the chicken tenders, i usually cut them into bite sized pieces, season with S&P and saute with zucchini, red peppers, red onions, garlic, and olive oil. When everything's cooked, I pour some chicken stock in for some juice and serve over pasta (usually rotelle) also, salmon, topped with a honey mustard glaze, baked in the oven. Serve with brown rice and asparagus or broccoli is another favorite rachael ray makes this chicken fajita tortilla soup that you can find on the food network website - love that one too there are so many options. You can always take things you love (for us its burgers!) and make them healthier

It's ok to have a bad day or moment. You just got to remember to get right back on track afterward. Also, trying not to limit yourself too much on what you can and cannot eat because if you cut out completely a lot of things that you love you will go through withdrawal and set yourself up for a downfall/bingefest. Everything is fine in moderation.

Thanks for the suggestions. I usually start off doing the same thing with chicken, then by Wednesday the thought of it makes me nauseous!
I just think I need to get more creative!

I bombed this weekend and i'm so bummed too!! I was being so good (South beach phase 1) until saturday when I had yellow rice. Then last night we went to dinner for FIL's 35th anniversary and had wine, some bread, and some CREME BRULEE
I'm up 2 lbs again so i need to buckle down.
ITA weekends are really hard, especially if you have plans with other people!
