"No legacy is so rich as honesty." -Shakespeare

I'm going to be taking a break from the blog for the next few days. You probably won't see a new post until Monday. That being said, I will still be thinking about what I'll be putting into the next entry over the weekend. I'll be thinking about what I'm doing and concentrate on the fact that what I want to report on Monday should be positive. While I'm out of town this weekend, I'll be surrounded by friends for the majority of it. That will be good for me, that's what I need right now, that will help me keep my eating under control. I'll have eyes on me, watching what I do with my food. Even if they're not actually watching me, just feeling that they are helps me to control myself. I will also be taking as much of my own food as I can. Not only will this save me some money, it will save me from making poor decisions throughout the weekend. Too often do I go out of town and eat too many large meals. I've done well the past two weekends, and I intend to keep that trend going.

I'm so looking forward to this weekend; I'm looking forward to spending time with friends, having fun, and just feeling care-free. Not too care-free, though. For some reason, I've been doing better on weekends than during the week lately. It used to be the other way around...I think because I'm often tempted by goodies in this house, I feel the need to be extra good on the weekends. Unfortunately, there are less days in the weekend than in the week.....I think not concentrating too hard on food over the weekend helps me; no over-thinking. Actually being out and about, not able to think about food keeps me on track. When I'm in this house I work in, I don't really have anything to distract me. Not good.

I think I've been kind of a Negative Nancy this week and I apologize. I'm usually the one to give words of encouragement and positivity, but sometimes this side does come out. Sometimes I just feel the need to wallow. This used to be me all of the time....yeah. I don't feel bad for posting these entries because I promised you I'd be always be honest. If I were to post these upbeat, happy entries even though I'm feeling the opposite, that would be dishonest. I will promise you that I will be over this by the next post on Monday! After a weekend of fun and freedom, I know that I'll be back to myself. Just hold on and give me some time to buck up :)
