osuche, one tough day does not make a failure out of you, as you know. You relaxed, you had a good time...and, chances are, you won't be duplicating that scenario anytime soon, anyway. ((osuche))
fzzy, we're all learning in this--about making better choices, and more about ourselves. It seems like you already know some positive steps to take to lessen the temptation. That's admirable, trust me.
maddy, I think the every-other-day treadmill thing will work just fine for you. I know I have to do some creative arranging of my schedule to get in my 3-4 days a week at the gym--and two of those usually come on the weekends. Still, the fact that you're more active--period--is an achievement on its own.
As for me, and speaking of cravings...I gave into one tonight. I let my children talk me into going to KFC for dinner.
I was only up to 13 points of my 22 for the day before, and I calculated as I was eating (and verified after getting home tonight) that I consumed an additional 15 at the restaurant. BUT, I did 4 miles on the treadmill tonight, and that, combined with some other physical stuff I did today, brings me back down to my 22 points--no flex points used. It doesn't sound like something big, but to me it is. Yay for me.
