If you need me this weekend, you can find me at the bar. 🙃

For most of us, the structure of our M - F routine provides an easy way to stick to nutrition goals without much time for overdoing it,

That is, until Friday night rolls around…

Ladies night, birthdays, dinners, happy hour, brunches — the weekends are filled with events and FUN that pull us out of our routine and force us to just live life.

And even if you don’t go out, a Sunday spent on the couch can quickly lead to one to many trips to the kitchen!🍿

The thing is, your fitness goals don’t stop mattering for those 2/7 days a week, so the effort you put forth shouldn't change either.

Overeating on Saturday has the same effect as overeating on a Tuesday, those extra cals don't just disappear because it’s the weekend.🤷🏽‍♀️

It all comes down to one strategy: don’t treat the weekend any differently than any other day of the week.

Browse menus for lighter options and plan what you’ll eat ahead of time.

If you’re having a drink or two at the bar, account for those calories too. Go for clear liquor with a zero-cal mixer.

If you’ll just be going out for drinks, eat before going out. You don’t want to be hungry with no healthy options around.

Learn to say no. Sometimes you’ll want to pass on cake because you’d rather have that shot with the bday girl!

Give your weekends structure. Still get in your daily workout or movement goal.

Use some of the time on Sunday to plan your workouts and meals for the week ahead.

Ultimately it always comes down to balance.

Making room for the fun stuff while respecting your goals and staying on track.

It’s not always easy, but it is always worth it!
