Finally a weekend has passed that I didn't think on Monday, "I feel like crap. I shouldn't have eaten (or drank) that much." Where you spent 2 days undoing all the hard work you did the last 5 days.
Weekends are my weakness. Always. The weekdays are pretty easy for me, I keep my caloric intake down and can usually fit in 4-5 days of exercise.
But come Friday night, it's like all my knowledge, will power and determination is completely thrown out the window. Friday at 6pm = party time.
This weekend I was determined to get back to my healthy habits and keep my weekend active and binge-free. I was able to get a 4 mile run on Saturday and a 50 minute Jillian Michaels video on Sunday. The eating was pretty clean and the drinks could be counted on 1 hand.
Success. I think so.
