Good Evening, FS Warriors! Still not much to report. Another indulgent weekend. I took Pam's advice, which I knew was true, and took 2 days off from running to let my quads recover. I am pain-free now, and should be able to step it out on tomorrow's run. Unfortunately, it's going to be 28F degrees in the morning. Ughh! I'm not ready to go back on the treadmill, so if it's not freezing rain, I'm hitting the pavement. I've got to stay away from the All-You-Can-Eat fund raisers, because I seem to Eat-All-That-I-Can too often. It's really not that bad. Well, maybe it is. It was that bad the weekend before last. This weekend, well, it was bad too. I think I've got a bad habit developing . . . or returning. Time to put a stop to that; don't want to go down that road again. It's too damn hard running when you're fat! So, today, I packed fruits and veggies in my lunch, and restrained my gluttonous urges. One thing that I have discovered, from my many weight-loss journeys, is that when I don't exercise, I eat too much. It's probably psychological, but whatever the reason, not exercising is akin to buying a ticket to the Food Fair. The two just seem to go hand in hand. Maybe it's because, when I exercise, I know I'm on-track, and I don't want to lose ground. When I don't exercise, I feel like I'm non-productive, and I give in to the already blown it mentality. And that's not good for Rest days, because I need them, and they are planned. In any case, I've got to get a healthier mindset about this lifestyle change.

I know, I know. Everybody has heard all this before. Humor me, I'm talking to myself. I'm happy in my own little world; they know me in here. So, anyway, hoping everyone has a great evening. Talk to you all tomorrow. Toodles!

The AYCE fits in the same phenomenon of the supersizing, doesn't it? I think it was a great idea for large groups (and I mean in numbers, not mass) of people with a variety of preferences to be able to go out for a reasonably priced meal but soon morphed into man vs restaurant to 'get one's money worth'. In the end, it costs the individual much more than it will the restaurant (the cost of over eating). I rarely go to them because there always seems to be a 4yo running around sticking fingers into everything but when I do (now) I get the dessert plate (small saucer) to use as my entree plate. Slows me down and gives my stomach time to catch up with my brain to help me not overeat. I try to stare at it thinking 'that next size up in jeans is more expensive than trying to get your money's worth on this... think' Just a suggestion.

I agree. I often wondered about those chocolate fountains in places like Golden Coral; one good sneeze and, as Paul Harvey would say, you can guess the rest of the story. Buffets are tough because you want to sample everything, even if you're not that hungry. AYCE's are tough because you wouldn't go there unless you like what they're having. I've got like 15 pairs of almost new jeans that are too big for me already, and I want to keep it that way.

Absolutely agree with your thought process. I find when I exercise, I eat healthy... It seems to go hand in hand. I put it down to, being more focused on a 'healthy lifestyle'. This is not the first time I have noticed it... So.... Although exercise in its own right, does not help you loose 'loads' of weight... It does in a 'round about' way... Because you are more focused on eating healthily :-). Great job on packing healthy stuff in your lunch box,
