You've made it to Friday! And guess what - all the nutrition guidelines still apply for the weekend. I know the rules aren't always clear, so I hope I've been able to answer your questions so we get you to your goals.
Let me give ylou a few tips to get through the weekend. Treat Saturday and Sunday as if it were Monday or Tuesday. Stay away from processed foods and plan a good breakfast, which sets the tone for the rest of the day. Many of us eat breakfast later on the weekends, or not at all, and then when the hole opens up in our stomach midday, we can't make rational decisions. Don't let yourself get too hungry.
Use Vitabot or your food log as a planning tool. So if you are planning on having some fun foods at dinner or brunch, figure that out first, and then plan around it. Make sure the rest of you meals have protein and veggies, and save more of the carbs for your PLANNED treat. Don't make the weekends all or nothing.
Bring food with you when you go out. Fruit and a string cheese are my favorites, but if you have a favorite high protein, high fiber bar you like, take that with you. But even gas stations have some better choices - don't get hungry!
Last, if you accidentally make a poor food choice (and no you're not BAD), make the next bite or meal a great choice. What's done is done. Don't punish or starve yourself. That only backfires.
OK - so here's my next story. 3 years ago, I decided to buy a new house and, based on my research, I found the house of my dreams in Middleton. I figured out what I could afford and signed a contract with my bank to pay a certain amount every month. Well,,,after a while, I got tired of paying that much money. I wanted to buy new furniture, go on more vacations and not work as much to pay for it. So, I called the bank and said, for a few months, I just wanted to pay 75% of the mortgage - just until I get motivated to work a little harder - and boy do I need more vacations!! They said, we can help you out for a month, if you are having troubles, but if you don't pay 100%, you'll not only lose your house, but all the money you invested in it. So, I kept paying 100%...
When you joined GISFW, you knew we are the best transformation program around. You wanted to get the best "house" possible - your body (you can't leave home without it). You signed a contract to give it 100% and we helped you learn what that is. I am not saying there wasn't a learning curve, but you now know what to do. So, if you only give it 60-75%, especially with your nutrition on the weekends, you're not only NOT going to get results, but you may lose all the progress you made at the beginning. Don't waste the hard work you do most of the time. You deserve the best, healthy body.
Don't give up want you want most for what you want in the moment.
