Livin for the Weekend
T.G.I.F!!! The end of the work week and the beginning of the end of lots of healthy eating plans and habits. What is it about the weekend that signals a free for all in the kitchen? Does the daily grind of the 9-5 mean you’re due your just desserts, well drinks and all you can eat at the buffet? Here’s where common sense and moderation should come in, heavy emphasis on the word should. Those 2-3 lbs that you lost during the week are down the tubes. Most people don’t realize that they’re wreaking havoc on the ol metabolism. The non-stop noshing can also leave you bloated and irritable come Monday morning also. Learn to treat yourself a little during the week. Do you think you’re only deserving of a special something on the weekend? If so, why?
Then there are the weekend wannabees. You know who you are, the wannabe fitness buffs. Saturday morning finds you at the gym, all geared up grunting and groaning like there’s no tomorrow. Or else trying to run a marathon and you can’t climb a flight of stairs without huffin and puffin. Take it down a little!!
Over doing it with food or exercise is a recipe for disaster on the weekend or any other time. Get rid of the all or nothing mentality and learn to live like you mean it everyday. Living like you mean it means you care enough about yourself to do what’s necessary each day and that you respect and are appreciative of the body you have.
