Story Of The Week
It has been a rough week of not sleeping enough, stress at work, no time to go to gym and when there was time, I just didn't have the energy or was feeling sick. Had a few not great day with my eating, but it is all good. My plan is to not be to hard on myself and do a reboot after Easter. That doesn't mean I am giving myself a free ticket to go crazy during the holiday, but it will be easier to reboot after. 
We are having everyone at our house for Easter.

Diet Tips: Surviving a Bad Weekend from diet.com
Any dieter can have a bad day, week or weekend. What separates the successful weight losers from the less successful ones is their ability to quickly pick themselves up, dust themselves off and refocus. 

Successful weight losers know that the path to long-term weight loss is not always a straight line. In fact, more often than not it can be a bumpy road – one filled with detours and jagged paths that range from overdoing it at holiday time or indulging over a long weekend. 

It's important to set yourself up for a successful path to long-term weight loss. Learning how to quickly come back after a bad weekend is in order. 

Here are some tips to guide you: 

1. Look at the big picture. Nutrition experts know that the quality of your diet is not set in stone from one meal, one day or one weekend. Instead, your diet quality is made of many choices that occur over weeks and months. You need to remember that if you’re coming off of a weekend where you made some bad food choices, you can start the week by making some healthier food choices. A long-term healthy weight loss program is not about having to be perfect all the time; it’s about balancing out the worse days with some better ones. And, as time goes on and you gain more control, you’ll see that overall you will have better days – and weekends.
