yes, it’s true.  in the last 2 ½ years since my youngest was born - i have lost about 400 lbs and counting.  of course, if we ARE counting, then that means i also must admit that i have also gained about 393 lbs, thus leaving me with the same ol’ 7 lbs fluctuating about for the last two plus years.  now, the problem isn’t me (of course not!) – it’s saturdays. you see, monday-friday, i eat healthy, work out, and am so consumed with work, i rarely have time to snack or overindulge.  but then comes friday night.  we usually end up bringing food in, and as a ‘reward’ for my diligence and tough work week, i always get a hearty meal with the intention of saving half for later.  but later never comes…because i never end up saving half my meal!  then i end up going to sleep feeling full and satisfied and next thing you know – hello saturday!  now i don’t know about you, but saturdays in this modern mama’s household is usually full of kids birthday parties, barbeques, and getting together with friends and family – many times, all in the same day!  and of course, all these events revolve around food. good food…but BAD food, if you get my ever-expanding mid-drift!

so what’s a modern mama to do?!?!  sleep all day saturday to avoid overindulging on the weekends?!  works for me!  three day weekends are another double-edged sword as well – but that is a whole new post since right now i need to go grab some menus to see what’s for dinner tonight…after all – it’s friday and i’ve had a tough week…
