1. Stick to your weekday sleep schedule... if you sleep in a few hours later than normal on the weekends, your internal clock has a really hard time adjusting when Sunday night rolls around. Make sure you are getting at least 6 hours of sleep on the weeknights so you don't feel the need to "catch up" on the weekends.
2. Plan when you will have your treat meal and don't let it last the whole weekend. If you have a planned night out with friends, go ahead and enjoy yourself...for that meal... don't let the treats continue for 48 hours. Use those "treat" meals for food instead of alcohol. At least the food will restore your glycogen whereas the alcohol will just deplete your system and make you feel worse the next day.
3. Make a friend or family outing into some extra exercise...hit up the pumpkin patch, and race to the biggest pumpkin. Then challenge each other to deadlift a few of the heavy ones!
4.Take two hours to prep your food for the week. If you did slide off the nutrition plan a bit during the weekend, take Sunday night to prep some healthy meals for the week and start fresh on Monday.
5. If you do plan to indulge on some sweets, do a workout that uses the largest muscles... which burns the most calories. Think legs day with lots of squats, or a back attack with all kinds of pull-ups. And if you're traveling... that's no excuse. Pack a resistance band in that bag and you can still get an awesome leg or back workout for a metabolic booster. Check out some earlier posts for an awesome resistance band routine!
On a final note... if anyone judges you for wanting to stick to your healthy lifestyle on the weekend just say this...
