Fat Weekend and Back to Work

Well, we're back at work. It was very difficult to get up at 5:30am this morning. UGH!! I got so used to sleeping late that this is quite painful and no fun! But, I guess all good things must come to an end. Speaking of.....

Today also marks the end of "Fat Weekend". Fat Weekend is something that Tim and I like to call the weekend prior to a diet. During this time period, there are no rules. You eat whatever you want and as much as you want. Which for me, consisted of LOTS of chocolate, gummie worms, and pasta! Needless to say, fat weekend didn't help the already increased weight from the holidays.

So, today is "transition day". Basically, the diet starts tomorrow, so today is the ease into the diet day. Snacks are allowed, in limited quantities, since the first day back to work is just too difficult to go cold-turkey into a diet. All of this fat weekend will officially end and the diet will begin tomorrow. We plan to eat at the Cheesecake Factory tonight - one last indulgence before the diet.

So, I plan to do the South Beach diet. It has worked for me in the past, and I hope that it works again. Tim - I think he's going to do his own thing. Basically, try to not eat McAlisters everyday :).

Hope you all have a great day, getting back into the routine. And for all of those beginning a diet - GOOD LUCK!!

I started South Beach yesterday...I had a good breakfast today, but I am shaking. Is that normal?

I wish I had takend advantage of a fat weekend. Not that I deserved it because I ate a ton over the holidays. Cheesecake Factory sounds so good. They have the best shrimp BLT there!
