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.
