I had a great weekend, surprisingly!? Usually I kinda dread weekends, I like routine so coming to work is kinda a comfort for me (plus it's a easy job so it's almost like a break from home). I find the weekends to be busy running around, usually just me and Jacob, which is hard when he is cranky but this weekend was good! :) I drove all the way to my Dads Friday night to look for old photos, which happened to be at my house (I forgot I took them) so we had a short visit, then on Saturday I went to my Gma's to help make a collage for my Gpa's memorial this Saturday. Later Saturday we had a 80th birthday party to attend and on Sunday I had a One year old birthday party!! Both had LOTS of tempting goodies and I did partake in a few of these goodies. I had a small piece of cake at both events and a handful of chips at both events but I also tried to make sure to have more protein on my plate then carbs, my MIL even made me a veggie burger at the 80th bday which I think helped for my fat intake but all the rest of my snacking lead to a 1500cal day!! :o So on Sunday I paid a little more attention to what I put in my mouth and after logging it on Fitday I had just under 1000cal day, and I think I'd actually add another 200cal on Sunday just for things I might have forgot (like that 1/2 glass of wine!) he he So this morning when I got to work I just had to weigh in and see how "bad" my weekend really was! And I was sooooo surprised to see that I had in fact LOST 1.2lbs!?!? It's not official so we will see if it sticks but I'm seriously amazed that I had lost after all the crap I ate?! :s In a way it's great but on the other hand I'm worried that I might start to think that it's OK to cheat as long as I see results. And although I'm OK with some cheats, like FF creamer in my morning coffee and maybe having an extra cup of salad, I still think that it is best to limit my cheats to only those things. I already know that I'm the type of person that if I allow myself a "cheat day" it turns into a "cheat week" (or longer)! So, it's best to just forget about this weekend, dedicate myself to the program again and no longer "cheat". This weekend will be a huge test for me, a very emotional memorial party for my Grandpa, where there will be lots of yummy treats (mini-sandwiches and sweets), I hope I can hold it together!! :( Hopefully I continue to loose over the next few days, official weigh in day is Thursday!!

1500 calories on a day like Saturday was amazing! It may not have been your typical 1200ish calories, but its still under the lose weight guidelines so huge congratulations on that! I hope when the time comes I have such amazing restraint.
p.s. funny you mentioned veggie burgers in your blog because I did in mine as well and usually people say "eeewww veggie burgers" so I'm glad that someone else enjoys them besides me (I say enjoy loosely, I tolerate them, but I would rather have a real burger)
