Controlling Our Caloric Intake over the Weekend

Many people often state that it is harder to watch what they eat over the course of a weekend. Many find it much easier to stick to a healthy pattern on weekdays.

But if you think about it, it doesn't have to be one way or the other. Certainly we don't wish to use the weekend as a "free for all" when it comes to eating, especially after we've worked so hard to stay "On Track" during the week. We still have the power to make many great choices, just like we do during the week.

Our patterns don't have to change on the weekend. We can stick to the same pattern of three meals and a snack. If we go out to eat, we can certainly choose a basic fish or chicken breast accompanied with freshly steamed vegetables. We always have wonderful opportunities to consistently make healthy choices in what we "choose" to eat whether it's a weekday or a weekend situation.

In fact, for many, the weekend presents a better opportunity to get extra "exercising" in due to the increased flexibility with our time.

So, if we look at "weekends" from these points of view, it's obvious that "weekends" like "weekdays" are excellent opportunities to continue the pattern of eating healthy and exercising!

I hope you have a wonderful productive weekend!
