How is This Possible?

I have done horrible on this diet the entire week. I was on it for 2 days. This weekend I ate any and everything I wanted. And I lost 5 pounds! What is up with that? Now I am wondering if I should even go back on it.

Heath and I got to go on a date last night. It's the first time we have been out together in a very long time. We went to one of our favorite restaurants that we never take the kids to because it is a tiny little hole in the wall that isn't big enough to have a non-smoking section. Then we went to a movie. We saw Night at the Museum. I thought it was great. It had a lot of funny parts.

Ava has slept all night for 2 nights in a row. Last night I couldn't get her to go to sleep so she wound up sleeping with us. I don't think we will ever get Colton out and I swore that Ava would not sleep with us. I don't know what to do though when I'm exhausted and the only way she will sleep is to be held. If our house was set up different I could just put her in her crib and let her cry like the doctor recommended.

I have found that quite often this happens to me as well. I do "good" and don't really lose anything to notice. Then I completely go off the wagon in the worst possible way and manage to lose 3 lbs in three days or something crazy.
I think it "boosts" your metabolism.
I have found that by behaving pretty well during the week and not worrying over it on the weekends has maintained the current weight within 5 lbs.
Which is annoying cause I would like to be smaller but at least I'm holding steady.
I bet the gym is going to make a HUGE difference for you Heddo.
When I used to run I basically ate whatever I wanted and lost weight like crazy. ANd I didn't run everyday. More like two, maybe, maybe three times a week.

I think the diet is great. I'm not doing anything but sticking to the no refined sugar/ flour during the week and only allowing myself one dessert a day on the weekend. I haven't lost weight but my stomach feels flatter for sure and hubby notices it also. I just feel better.

This is the very reason I just can't stick to a diet. The same type of thing seems to happen to me. I just try to eat well whenever I can and when I fudge I try to make up for it the next day. But that doesn't always work. It's so annoying. I would LOVE to be at my goal weight because maintaining this weight is easy. Losing more....is not.
