For me, weekends are my biggest challenge. It's when we have company over, the bbq is going if the weather is good, or we go out to eat. Sometimes I have blown a great week of sticking with the program just because I let myself go on the weekends. This attitude may be okay if you are on the "maintanence" program but it won't help if you want to get some weight off.
Planning is the best advice I can give you. You can have your fun and eat it too if you plan correctly. For instance, if you are having that big bbq and then a nice dessert, plan on using those activity points that you earned during the week. Again, if you are trying to lose weight, don't use your flex points until the weight is really coming off. Drink lots of water, more than you normally would on the weekends to keep yourself full. Also, get out of the sweatpants and baggy clothing if you're not working out. Wearing loose clothes tends to allow us to eat more and not feel it.
Sunday is a day off of working out but not from the weight watchers plan.
Have a safe, healthy and happy weekend.
You can do it, Super Sweet Debbie, even on the weekends!
ReplyDeleteI am eager for the tip of the day on the "broccoli and mustard" dish - cannot wait to hear about that super meal!
