I've been thinking about the weekends. I've been doing fairly well staying focused and paying attention to my choices on those days, but they are certainly more difficult than the rest of the week. Because we are on a different routine, or not one at all, it's easy for me to make less healthy choices. My workout routine is scheduled for M-T, so I tend to think I'm "off" on the weekend. (which, I'm not. We're not ever "off" from living well. ;-) Also, there tend to be more sweets to resist, depending on our church activities.
So, I've decided to make a list of goals specific to the weekend. I'll list them on my sidebar, too, for my easy reference. I'm sure I'll need to adjust them, but it's good to start somewhere.
My Friday through Sunday Goals:
Meet daily water goal, even if running errands
Get in 30 minutes of a fun family activity/exercise daily
Prep raw vegies for the week
Prep chicken breast for salads for the week
Prep healthy baked goods/snacks for the week
Log Friday and Saturday
Make good food choices on Sunday with NO logging (sort of like riding a bike w/o training wheels, yk? ;) )
Get in an extra 1-2 hours of sleep
Read from my "get healthy" books and blog notes
Sounds great! I *really* enjoy my free evening.It isn't a whole free day so that makes it much healthier.I love not having to worry about what I eat.The thing is,we still eat REAL healthy because we love healthy foods BUT I don't plan by HEALTH,I plan that evening by what we love to eat and I eat whatever I want with no worries or logging.
ReplyDeleteI too have to stay on track on the weekends or I get highly discouraged! If I do bad all weekend I feel that it takes me the first half of the week to make up for it and then there are only 2 -3 days until the NEXT weekend!
Your goals REALLY sounds great! Having healthy food around that I love is a HUGE thing for me.
