That is something I need to work on, because I think it would be EXTREMELY helpful! Thanks for the support :) I love the idea of planning my meals, and I do try to, but something usually comes up and I usually let it get derailed.

I've checked in on you every day and when you weren't posting, I had a feeling things weren't going "as planned". It's okay!!!! Days / weekends like that happen, keep posting, keep holding yourself accountable - for better or for worse. That is why you started the blog and accountability is what is going to pave the path to your success. You can do it. Don't be so hard on yourself if you have bad days. Getting back to it after you've had a couple of shitty days is what is going to get you to your goal. Little by little, you will lose. You already see that!!! 2.) Weekends are HANDS DOWN the hardest part of my week. I feel so structured at work, and I struggle so hard when I am not at work. The first change I have made is making my OFF day from the gym on a week day. At least if you over-indulge on the weekend then you are still hitting the gym and undoing a little of the damage. So far it is working better for me, because I feel less hungry after a grueling workout, or at least I feel more conscious about what I'm putting in my mouth after it took an hour to burn 600-700 calories, I am less apt to just grub out with reckless abandon b/c I don't want to undo my hard work at the gym. 3.) Do you plan your meals? Even on the weekend I TRY to have a loose idea of what I am going to be fixing or eating so calories don't just sneak up on me. Obviously I struggle, so I don't know the answers 100%, but I think me and you have similar patterns of struggle with work / weekend / beer on the weekends / football snacks, etc. :) (I'm a guy at heart, what can I say. :) I know nobody really knows each other in the blogosphere, but I am rooting for you Steve! I want you to succeed!!! You can do it, don't give up. We all need each other for support, lean on those who can help pal! I can already tell you this is going to be long, so hang in there. :)
