The "Official" start over.

Why does it seem like Mondays are the perfect day to start over, or start a new diet.

I mean it is the start of a new week, but everyone who gives up on Friday spends the rest of the weekend as if calories don't count despite us knowing darn well that they do!

I am collecting quotes for my success wall, and I liked one I found the other day.

"Tired of starting over, stop giving up". This rings true to me, because so many times it is easier to sucumb to old habits, and stop caring, and just do what is easy instead of sticking to your diet even though you are missing out on stuff... But regardless of how you spend the time, it will still pass, and then when Monday FINALLY rolls around you wasted so much time. You wish you had spent it doing something healthy for yourself, and instead of being happy, you are filled with regret.

I know that feeling too well.

I was talking with my teammate and she was saying how she waited too long and ate ice cream, but that she could count it as her free meal and it would not effect her points in the game, but if she took the hit and missed the 6 points she would not have to wait till monday. Monday is essentially when she gets to start over. I like it and hate it at the same time. Mostly because it is weigh in day, and all I want is to have lost more than 1/2 a pound, but you start the cycle over of living for your free day. I am not much a fan of the free day because I have managed to waste mine and ended up only taking a free meal. I like to eat healthy at work, it helps me stay focused and frankly I have achieved more work in the last two weeks of being on this diet than I have in a long time.

I have mixed feelings. I feel like the diet is not that demanding ( in fact I actually really enjoy eating produce every day! I feel better, honest!) I just might integrate diet coke back in, but just one a day!
