It's Friday evening and you are looking back at a the past week celebrating that you totally killed it this week.
You got your movement in and your body is feeling good. You got good rest. You didn't eat ALL.THE.FOOD. and what you did eat was satisfying and enjoyable to you. You didn't overindulge and just overall, your week has been on point.
But tomorrow is Saturday.... and it's a weekend.
While many people assume it's some sort of crazy-free-for-all and opportunity to have a 'cheat day' - whatever that means - and do whatever they think they can't do during the week, I am going to challenge you to think differently.
Your weekend may look a lot different thank your weekday but that doesn't mean you can't have a healthy routine.
It's not a big deal if you occasionally, go off plan on a weekend or overindulge, but if you make a habit of it, it can really add up. Even if you stick to your plan and eat healthily and get your movement in during the week, you can gain up to 12lbs in one year just by eating an extra 400 calories on Saturday and Sunday.
Plus, overindulging can make it even harder to get back to things on Monday. So, why not stick to a plan all 7 days a week.
Sure, sounds easier said than done, and that's why we've put together 5 hacks to avoid sabotaging all the hard work you put in.
1. Map Out Your Weekend
2. Move on the Weekends
3. Communicate Your Goals
4. Treat Your Self Once a Week
5. Choose Alcohol Wisely
Bottom line is, you have the power to control the outcome of your entire week. Everything may not go as planned, and it may not always be easy, but if you just keep doing the best that you can, you'll be able to look back with no regrets.
