The Thursday Thing
What
is it about Thursdays?
I’ve
noticed something over the last month or so. I can do so well
counting points or calories Monday through Wednesday. I get weighed
in on Mondays so I’m all revved up and excited to track and stay
within my points range (or calories now with the Bodybugg) but
something happens on Thursdays. Every week. I don’t even have to
realize what day it is and generally I don’t consciously think about
it being Thursday until I see that I’m hungry all day, even if I eat
exactly the same stuff I did yesterday.
On
Thursdays, I’m more likely to feel the need for a mid-morning snack,
something I never have any other day of the week.
On
Thursdays, my normal lunchtime salad, which I love and will even have
at dinner sometimes when the family’s having something more calorie
filled, just doesn’t appeal to me.
On
Thursdays, I’ll find myself wandering around the kitchen, just
wanting “something.”
I
can’t explain it.
I
do fine the rest of the week. I’ll stay in my calorie range over the
weekend, and to be honest, while I didn’t eat right today, I still
have my normal deficit because I walked/ran a mile while the Boy had
basketball practice. I think because I’m aware of the Thursday Thing,
I moved more while making dinner and other times during the day.
Still,
I wish I could explain it. Ideas?
Oh,
and for those of you wondering, I was down another two pounds this
week! Even my Weight Watcher leader noticed that I’ve finally
“figured it out.”
