Waking to Hunger, and free days

[Guest guest]

You know the old line - it's not what you eat between Halloween and New Years, it's what you eat between New Years and Halloween?

My sister and I generally splurge on breakfast after WW Saturday morning. Now, by then, it is after 9AM, and we ARE truly hungry. But, it kind of sets me up for "Saturday is a free day" and then maybe Sunday, too. And then Monday, well, you're so busy, getting back to work.... we can all see where this is going. Then on Friday, I try to eat as little salt as possible and I always struggle with dinner on Friday, knowing I weigh in in 12 hours.

A lot of this is rationalization or excuses. However, I think I need to take a good look at how to have a generous breakfast on Saturday without blowing the whole weekend. By the time we get out of the meeting, I will have not eaten for about 14 hours, so sausage and hashbrowns look pretty good; my body is looking for the most calories the quickest way.

I need to figure out how to load up without porking out. Maybe a dish of fruit, MORE WATER. I love breakfast potatoes. I don't cook potatoes at home anymore, or rarely, because my husband can't eat them. An Irish girl without potatoes is like a day without sunshine. This could have been a deal-breaker if we were only engaged at the time - my mom said, wouldn't it just be easier to get another husband? So, I can't see myself giving them up. But, I don't need 3 or 4 sausages. At home, when hubby cooks breakfast, I get ONE. Enough to savor the flavor but not excessive. Most places we go have "healthy option" menus, or multigrain breads and pancakes. I need to look at these options.

Maybe residual of the few weeks you have been "off plan".... who knows, but bet it starts working its way down now that you can move more.

Glad to hear from you, was getting ready to send out a "where's Eileen" question LOL!!
