This weekend didn't go quite as well as last weekend when it comes to the point system. Now, don't get me wrong... it's not like I ate an entire pizza by myself followed by a Big Mac and washed down by a milk shake, but, I did have a struggle with chillin' with friends. So I went a few points over on Friday and Saturday, but not a million points over.
Although a light beer is only 2 points - if you want to have more than one, well, you're looking at 4 or 6 points. And let's face it, I'm not hanging out on the patio with friends for 4 hours and just having one beer. Thus the struggle begins. It's pretty easy to plan for having a beer when you're working your daily points, but when you've had your one beer and you're still sitting around for another 3 hours, well, sometimes you want another. I suppose that it's only over the weekend and not every day, so it won't kill me to be a few points over and technically, I have that weekly "pool" of 35 points that I did have to dip into this weekend, so I'm still staying within the rules. I guess I just want to be somewhat aggressive with this plan and try to keep my point consumption to what my daily allotment is.
I've also come to realize that it's super nice outside to be walking and exercising and being active, but it's also HELL. The pollen is terrible and I feel like ASS the next morning - there's really no way to avoid it, I'm not going to stop going outside, so I might was well just bitch about it - maybe that'll make me feel better. Mary gave me Saturday and Sunday off from exercising and it felt good to rest some. I'm sure I won't do it every weekend, but going from complete in-activity to walking (on that big ass hill none-the-less) 5 straight days is a bit of an attack on my body. My shins are feeling much better not walking the last two days. I was also able to look up some ways to stretch my shins before and after walks (and as needed) and I'm ready to hit the pavement again.
I did step on the scale this am and the points are still dropping off and it's an amazing feeling. I'm not seeing a huge impact on my clothes yet, but I'm sure that'll come

I have the hardest time being good while hangin' as well. If you have time some days and not others you can switch around your workout routine to rest when you need it or do extra when you have the energy/ time. Go you. :)
