Iiiitt’s Friiidaaayyy!! Here goes another fun filled weekend. What makes this one different than all the others of this summer? Well, i’m going to stick to eating clean lol. Last week it dawned on me that i’ve been maintaining these past few months and that definately was not the plan. I would do so well during the week and on the weekend I would eat enough to fuel a small army; definately not conducive to losing a pound or two a week. So now i’m cracking down so I can meet my end of the year goal of losing 50 lbs.

They say the best way to reach your destination is to map out your route to getting there so here’s what i’m going to do to steer clear of the food bonanza this labor day weekend:

1. Pack my own food in advance and bring it with me wherever I go

2. Carry that oh so friendly "crap pushers" letter by Chickentuna with me in my purse lol!

3. Drink lots of water so I don’t mistake hunger for thirst

4. Wear some hella tight jeans so I won’t forget why i’m doing this in the first place!

 I know some people would say taking a day off is fine…but for me, atleast right now, it’s not. I have found so many holidays to take off it’s ridiculous! And for me, a holiday lasts about 2-3 days. People always speculate about when is a good time to start eating right. Well, the answer is RIGHT NOW. If you wait, just think about how many holidays there are. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Valentines Day, St.Patrick’s Day, Easter…I mean, you can find a reason to eat junk all the time if you think about it. But how do you feel afterwards? I know for me, after I gorge myself I feel ill…and not just physically, but psychologically appalled. Then the next day when the leftovers are looking at me I figure, well…since it’s still here, I might as well finish it. Well, not anymore. Last time there was leftover rubbish in the fridge I threw it out the next morning. Hubby isn’t going to sit around eating it and I know for damn sure I don’t want 3000 calories sitting on my behind. Think about where you want to be and then look at what you’re about to throw down on…will it bring you closer to your dreams or farther away from them?
