I take breaks from counting points. I don't go all crazy, but I am a little more free than I am when I'm totally on plan (which I don't know when that last was. ha). It's okay that you let the candy jar win....I let the little mini pumpkin candies win today. Shit happens. :) Now just don't be an a break forever. :) Sometimes you do need a break.

You have been training so hard for the Dam tot Dam, it was a good decision to take a break after it. I have recovery weeks, after every 3 weeks of training (mostly running) I take a recovery week in which I do different workouts and only 2 runs in that week: a short and a long run. I did this only once and it really helped me. Next week is another one. Like you I'm a control freak, meal planning is something I do ever since I started living together 16 years ago. It started because I don't like grocery shopping and do that once a week. Don't you just love Glee? I love it, especially what they did with the songs on the show.

I would probably make my 'break' look like yours (make it essentially not be one by still watching what you eat). But with WW I usually don't 'need' a break as I can eat what I like (so if I wanted a pizza I could have one), and it doesn't stress me out to follow the plan. So if I take a break it would much more likely be because I wanted to take one, not because I actually needed it. I think your break sounds just right.

I definitely don't want to get in a mental place where I really am taking a break. You can't really take a break from your life can you? I guess you can, but I just don't WANT to do that again. Never again.

This week has been really rough for me too. I tried counting points but I went over every night. I've been really hungry and I needed to eat. I haven't been to the gym this week, not once. Maybe I will go today after work. I haven't had the desire or the energy. And my weight has not changed either. I would worry that we are the same person except I didn’t run a 16K last weekend.

You work yourself so hard and BAM, you break a little, and yeah. It's good that you didn't TOTALLY break! Shows how strong you are. <3 I, personally, don't handle "taking a break" well, because it usually leads to ... well. Not coming off of the break for months as a time. Or years. But if it's a little break, like during the day? I strip off, climb into bed, and put my iPod on, listen to some of the hypnosis tracks I've got on there to relax to. :) Sometimes, you just NEED to take a break, y’know?
