How to survive the weekend






TGIF Guys! I'm confused. Is that "Thank God I'm Fabulous" or is that "Thank God It's Friday?" Either way, I think we qualify for both. We survived another week of healthy living! Congratulate yourselves and give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done!

It's so easy to forgo what we did so right by our bodies Monday through Thursday and to blow it Friday through Sunday. All that hard work we did during the week would be worth zilch if we ate whatever we wanted on the weekend though. Right?

You might have a family gathering over the weekend and be thinking will there be anything that 'I' can possibly eat. Guess what? You can still enjoy eating. BUT...within moderation. Everything that we crave can still be eaten under the 80/20 rule but in moderation. Pace yourself, continue to workout, drink plenty of water and enjoy your weekend. Wine is still allowed too!

Don't get discouraged if you're going out to eat. Eat smart. Read the menus. Plan ahead and check in with your accountability partner(s), coach, and support group. Most importantly, enjoy yourself. You deserve it!

The first week might be the hardest, but once you’re used to working out on the same days and times each week, it’ll be a routine that you're adjusted to. You also need to be consistent with your healthy eating. That doesn’t mean you have to be perfect all the time but you do have to be on top of it. I try to teach people to eat clean or in other words to eat non-processed foods. Rid your house of the boxed foods and eat like your great-grandparents would. This doesn't mean you can't indulge here and th
