Weekends

The weekend is here!!!

Wooohoooo!!

I will teach you something it took me a very very long time to learn.

You can not work hard all week long at being fit and healthy, then go crazy on the weekend, and expect things to balance out.

Weekends account for a MAJOR amount of time per year, and going crazy eating unhealthy crap all weekend long derails the progress you made all week. It makes you work your friggin butt off all day Monday, all day Tuesday and it makes you pray your butt off Tuesday night that the scale will be atleast back to where you started last week-- so you don't show you gained any weight.

Don't play this game with yourself. Don't take a cheat weekend. I promise you, you will regret it and it will make your progress SO much slower. So pick a meal, or pick two, or pick a meal and a dessert. ENJOY IT!! And then get right back up on the healthy train. Take one day of rest from the gym, not two. Take one and ENJOY IT.

Lifelong changes we are working on here, not week day changes. Don't feel the guilt of going overboard on Monday.

Good luck, and enjoy your families, enjoy your friends, enjoy a cheat if you feel the need-- enjoy LIFE. It's the only one you are gonna get.
