Weekend Anxiety...

It’s the WEEKEND! This means social events and possibly dining out. One of the biggest dilemmas I hear: 🗣”Coach, How do I stay on track without completely blowing it?” 🗣Is it EVEN possible to do both? ABSOLUTELY!! Being social shouldn’t be your excuse to flying off the rails and throwing your goals out the window. Think of your macros like your budget. Let’s anticipate your social event cost you $100 and let’s say you were having dinner and then heading to watch a movie. This night would possibly cost you $60. This means you’ve left $40 to spend wisely. When I know I have a night out is going to involve drinks and possibly bites of dessert, I will typically save my carbs for the evening. My meals for the day involve protein + veggies to keep my caloric intake reasonable. If I know there’s a bread basket I ask myself do you want to eat or drink your carbs today. For me sometimes it’s wine 🍷, sometimes it’s bread, and sometimes it’s dessert 🍩...AND every occasional moment I want to eat my feelings it may be all three. I also make sure I create an insurance policy by eating consistently throughout the day so I don’t overeat. Far too often I see clients who avoid eating all day to later splurge. We have to be willing to make a compromise/sacrifice to attain our goals. Keep in mind you will achieve greater results following nutrition 80% of the time then following the best diet written only 60% of the time. The same applies in training programs.
