I did VERY well over the weekend, so I think I've solved my problem. I decided to just give in somewhat to that end-of-the-week feeling I keep getting. So I wound up getting lamb chops (but the smallest pack I could find, so that even if I ate both - which I did - it wouldn't be that bad) AND I planned for a special dessert (bananas with sugar-free chocolate syrup and Cool Whip Free). I felt VERY satisfied and as if I had cheated.
So the rest of my weekend went well, too. I ran hills Saturday, then ran 25 minutes of my hour Sunday. Didn't eat out, so decided to continue the non-splurge splurge, as it were, and had more lamb chops Saturday and a steak last night, plus a new dessert - raspberries and blueberries, more Cool Whip Free, and a small amount of dark chocolate (50 calories) melted in the microwave and drizzled over. Talk about indulgent! It seemed extremely decadent, and was totally within my limits. So yay for that! I'm going to try the same plan next weekend and see if it works again.
Then today I had another of those mornings where I seem to break into a sweat before I even get on the treadmill. Tried to just push past it, but I was struggling so much that I just got off. Maybe I should have at least walked slowly for the hour, but even 3.7 felt like too much, so I decided I'd be better off skipping it and hoping for better results when I do strength training this afternoon.
