Make it from Mon to Thurs, then sabotage until Sunday
I seem to be noticing a pattern.
Mondays I am always very motivated to eat low carb, drink my water, do some exercise, and try and be productive at my work.
This seems to last until Thursday. Many times, my husband and I go out to dinner on Thursdays. I can be good all day, and I try to do low carb at the restaurant, but frequently I cave in to the bread basket, the alcohol, and sometimes the dessert.
This triggers the carb cravings and I start nibbling carbs on Friday, which culminates into serious carb binges over the weekend. I get out of control on Saturdays and Sundays.
Then back to Mondays where I get good again.
This has happened to me the last two weeks, but I think it's been going on all year to tell the truth.
Half the time I'm "good", the other half I lose control.
I know we are going out this Thursday to a nice restaurant and I will want to endulge. But I am also going out of town for the weekend and would love to be down 5 pounds for the trip.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
