6 Tips to Avoid Ruining Your Progress on the Weekends

6 TIPS TO AVOID RUINING YOUR PROGRESS ON THE WEEKENDS 





1. Have a plan. Know what foods you’re eating for each meal.
You’ve got to have structure on the weekend. Sure, you can eat a
meal out with family or friends, but you can’t be “winging
it.” 





2. You didn’t gain weight this weekend because you “were over at
a friend’s house,” “out of town” or “busy.” You made those food
choices - no one was holding a gun to your head. Stop blaming
other people or events for why you’re not making progress and
start owning your decisions. That’s when real progress
happens. 





3. When eating out, have a plan going into it. Look at the menu
ahead of time, and follow through on what you said you’re going
to do. You can have fries, cake and ice cream, but make sure you
plan for it. 





4. You can have a social life, but if you’re eating out and
drinking every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, you’re not going to
be making much progress. Those Instagram models you see shoveling
fries and ice cream into their mouths are either 20 years old and
can get away with it or aren’t putting out a true representation
of their diets. 





5. Weekend calories count. If you’re in a 500-calorie deficit
Monday through Friday, but you go 1,250 calories over your
calories on Saturday and Sunday, you just un-did all of your work
from the week. 





6. You don’t “deserve” that glass of wine or plate of cookies to
make yourself feel better. Sure, it feels good in the moment, but
you’ll always regret it later. You “deserve” to treat your body
well by fueling it with healthy nutrients 90+% of the time.
