Oh, I got it! was… So what is it about the weekends?
My weekdays and weekends are like night and day health-wise, attitude-wise, energy-wise etc. Why are they such a challenge?!
I used to think it was because being at work was easier to manage than being at home as far as structure, temptation, whatever. Well, that’s not it, because I worked at home last week and did great and then struggled through the weekend.
I used to think it’s because I’m busy during the week, thus distracted from eating. But I have three kids and plenty to do, so I’m pretty much busy all the time. That’s not it.
I used to think it was a structure thing, but my weekends are probably more structured than my weekdays go when I work at home. So that’s not it.
I don’t go out any more socially on the weekends than I do during the week. So that’s not it.
I can tell it’s a mindset thing. My state of mind is just different on awakening on my days off. During the week, momentum. Weekends, inertia. Now, I just need to be a detective and figure out why. And, keep to my plan no matter what I feel like. Act as if I am motivated and energized and enthusiastic and committed until I really am.
On a positive note, today was easy eating-wise. A relief. And, in spite of my struggles this weekend, the weekend was still OK. So, frustrating, but not a total wash.

Oh! I just read this post after publishing it and had a brain flash, a moment of awareness and inspiration!
This was the key phrase: During the week, momentum. Weekends, inertia.
Tomorrow, will explain what I mean by that…
