Weekend Wrecker...

The Holiday Mentality:  Routine helps because your stomach gets used to being fed at certain times and you are more likely to stick to your chosen foods because it is simply easier!  On days off, a break in routine can be a pitfall.  We tend to treat weekends like Holidays, but the culprit is, they come 52 times a year, not just once!

Damage Control:  Sticking to your Monday-to-Friday routine is the sensible solution, but will you really do it?  If you know the answer is NO, it’s best to acknowledge it from the start and pencil in that CHEAT meal.  At least a planned cheat meal can prevent an all out blowout!  You might keep in mind where you are going to spend those extra calories and won’t waste them on the foods that aren’t so tasty.

On days when you know you’ll be away from home for hours, ensure you snack well by always having healthy options available like an apple, almonds and baby carrots!

Until Monday - Keep thinking veggies and protein!
