It’s a Thursday (which it is, at the time of writing) and you’ve stuck to your plan all week, but Saturday and Sunday are fast approaching and you’re wondering how to stay on track over the weekend.
Keeping yourself busy is great tactic if you’re at home (idle, and bored, hands tend to reach for the wrong food), but suppose you’re going out? Then what?
It can be tough to keep your head, and stick to your eating plan, when all about you are losing theirs in chocolate, crisps, cake and beer. Determination and an iron-will not to veer off course will see you through. But that, on its own, can be mentally miserable for some of you.
Scheduling your training on Saturdays and Sundays is a great way to stay on track over the weekend – you’re far less likely to dive off the calorie deep end when you’ve smashed a killer workout in the gym.
Get yourself primed and ready with some music that pumps you up, then head for the gym – by the time you’ve finished, you’ll feel awesome! Your mind will be very firmly in ‘health and fitness’ mode and all of a sudden the right choices become much easier to make – after all, you’re on a mission to look great and feel great, what everyone else chooses to shovel into their mouths is up to them…right?!
Schedule your training day(s) off during the week – it’s only the mental association of the weekend being ‘different’ from weekdays, and a time to let loose with everything, that makes it difficult to deal with.
Healthy eating, training, and looking after yourself is a LIFESTYLE, not just something you ‘do’ Monday through Friday and then to hell with everything on Saturdays and Sundays.
