Weekend Motivation

Okay everyone, the weekend is almost upon us.   The weekend can be our friend, and it also can be our enemy when it comes to our diets.

In general,  I think we tend to eat out more on the weekend, and find ourselves in situations where temptation is going to be lurking around every corner.  Do your best to maintain control.  Be a weekend warrior (for lack of a better phrase).   

I find that in the health conscious world we live in, 9 times out of 10, whenever a food temptation is present, a healthy alternative is present as well, even if we have to look a little harder to find it.  Travel with an apple…..whatever it takes.  Sounds a little corny I know……but, trust me……you will feel sooooo good, when you begin a new week and realize that you have continued to lose weight throughout the weekend……or even just maintained your weight.  Our mini goal, or desired weight is the “light at the end of the tunnel”, not the weekend.   

This weekend, I am going to plug right through it, not changing my eating habits that I maintained so well the past 4 days.  That’s my story, I mean “plan”, and I am sticking to it. :)   I hope you do well. 

On another note, one of my favorite new songs is called “Brand New Day” by Tim Myers featuring Lindsay Ray.  If you can download it, or get it from itunes, I think you’ll like it.  A real feel good song.

    I go around with a little baggie of almonds. I think I’ll take an apple sometimes to add a little variety :)

    Good Luck!

    I find weekends to be my best effort - no lunch hour to have to go out to eat, time to exercise that I do not have during the week. And I get time in the kitchen to prepare better meals than the quickies during the week.
