I had a roast beef sandwich, & a few Butterfingers, AND some strawberry pie last night!
You know, I watched that "Work Out" reunion last night & was really pleased to hear Jackie say that they all stuck to pretty strict diets during the week & ate what they wanted (within reason, of course) on the weekends. I pretty much follow that & while it works for me, I always wondered whether I was doing myself a disservice by gaining 2-3 lbs on the w/e & then losing it during the week (meaning is this continual cycle of gain/lose unhealty). I was relieved to find I wasn't alone.
Message being, splurge on the weekends! You've earned it!

Ugh, I had Kentucky Fried Chicken and Taco Bell. But, that's okay - it satisfied my craving for another year.

You gotta live!
If you were doing this every day, then I would worry. Every once in a great while it feel so good to indulge in the foods that we never really eat (like sweets for me---------I have such a sweet tooth!!!).
Besides, if you work out on a regular basis, then you are in really good shape here!
I just made dark chocolate brownies last night. Guess what I am eating for dessert tonight!!!!!!!

I saw the reunion as well and was glad to see she said that (BTW...what's up with her and Rebecca?!). I don't think it's a problem because you are probably not really "gaining" 2-3 pounds in a weekend. It could be water retention or the scale just being "off" certain days. In order to gain 3 pounds, you would have to eat a TON of calories and burn none of it off. You work out and are active, so you are definitely burning.
I try to keep everything in moderation. I am sooooo good about exercise, but my diet stinks! I think if I had negative repurcussions from my diet (like weight gain) I would be more apt to do better, but as of yet, I haven't had a problem. I am 36, so I am sure that will not last much longer!!!
Until then, I will stick with my peanut butter M&M's!!!

Strange stuff, huh? Rebecca is very young & I'm getting the impression she's using Jackie to further her career. I think Jackie is gonna get burned in a major way. I'd feel sorry for her but darnit, she's a smart & savvy businesswoman, how can she let this dingbat chick play her like this?

Nah...it's water. Carbs hold a ton of water.
