Strategies for Staying on Track Over the Weekend

I’ve often receive feedback from my clients who really struggle with staying on track over the weekends. One reason weekends are so difficult is because most of us fall out of our regular daily routines.

People go out to eat a lot more often over the weekend, and there are often parties and other social gatherings that often times don’t include the healthiest food choices. Sound familiar?

You can still have fun without sabotaging all your hard work. The key is to strike a good balance between effective, so you get good results, and enjoyable so that you’ll stick with it in the long-run … and to plan this “effective/enjoyable” balance a head of time.

Why your friends want you fat

Ever since I was a tiny thing I watched people. I love people watching, I love people who love to watch people. People are absolutely fascinating.

I would be full of it if I said I didn’t notice what people wore, their style, their mannerisms, their confidence, and yes, their weight. There is a difference of course between noticing who someone is, and judging them because of who they are. If you watch hard enough, you can see the character in someone pretty easily. If you really know how to look for it, it shines bright as day.

Can Sleeping 8 Hours Kill You Faster?
