8 Tips for a Healthy Weekend!

Happy Weekend! (Well almost!) We all know the biggest challenge on the weekends is staying on track especially when you are eating out. Here are few tips that I have discovered that help me manage temptations and continue to reach my goals!

  1. Check the menu before hand and try to look up the calories if you can.
  2. Stick to protein and vegetables. Avoid the carbs and sugar and especially dressings and “empty” calories. If you need dressing, ask for olive oil and count it as a fat.
  3. Plan your alcohol. Know what you are allowed. If you think you might have more than one glass of wine, then cut back on the carbs earlier in the day. Use the rule of 3. 3 carbs per day. Each sugar (i.e. treat or wine) counts as a carb. Know how many you have to use for the day. (I allow 3 glasses of wine a week).
  4. If you aren’t sure about what the restaurant has you can drink a 2nd serving of Shakeology before hand and then have your “snack” as lunch/dinner. (i.e. plain salad, baked potato etc.)
  5. Drink out of fun glasses. I know this sounds funny, but the nights when I know I have already had my “treats”, I put sparkling water or LaCroix in a wine glass. Its at least a little more exciting.
  6. Invite your friends/family to your house or a healthier restaurant. 🙂 Tell them about your adventure in healthy eating and your passion around it!
  7. Remember why started. Eating that bread on the table isn’t going to feel as good as when you accomplish your goals.
  8. If you aren’t going to a restaurant and are just trying to stay on track for the weekend, stay busy. If you need a distraction, pin some good recipes on Pinterest. Listen to an upbeat song. Go for a walk. Or better yet, get that workout in!
I hope that helps. Have an amazing weekend!

I am loving my new morning reading habit. Just finished my third book since starting this habit through Miracle Morning that you suggested! I love my morning (me) time. I actually am more productive throughout the day, am eating better, staying more positive, and sleeping so much better. I love the changes because of Miracle Morning and you! I have decided to start a new business. Wow! I wasn't even thinking that going in. I just have opened my mind and listened to my heart and decided to go after what I want. Life changing!
