Another week ending, another jam-packed weekend beginning! Looking at our calendar, I don't think I have more than a few hours unscheduled between Friday evening and Sunday evening. Luckily, they are less food-centered events than usual, but I do think the fast pace makes me forget to stay on plan. I need to take some time today to get myself organized and strategized. (Is that a word?) Anyway, what's going on with you today?

This week has had its share of work-related stress and some unpleasant health-related anxiety and worry. It hasn't impacted my eating that badly, meaning I haven't gone overboard on bad stuff, but it did keep me from trying any new, healthier behavior patterns because I was too caught up in feeling emotional. When you feel physically unwell in ways that eating can't affect, it's hard to keep trying.

The weekend has one party in store but I think my food allergies will keep me on the straight and narrow. That's what happened at last night's function anyway.

Today is my first blissfully slow day since last Friday. No family (they're all gone or leaving before I get home), no tons of homework (as of yet, anyhow), no nothing. I'm planning on sacking out on the couch with the dog and watching project runway when I get home.

I'm also not planning on eating a single meal out in the next week if I can help it. I'm on eating out overload right now. I also have no intention on eating anything not already planned for either. Trying to regroup for the remainder of the day after a meal that pushes me over the top is getting really old.
