Thought of the Day:
Of the changes that have most positively impacted my level of fitness and overall health, is ditching the notion of “working for the weekend”. I used to eat clean and train hard throughout the week, only to go and party on weekends, eat junk, and not exercise. I figured that since I hard worked so diligently during the week, I could “afford” to be lax on the weekends and still make progress. Technically, I did make progress. I was still miles away from when I would eat junk and not workout during the ENTIRE week, but I didn’t realize how much it was negatively affecting me until I made a commitment to start cleaning up my weekend act. It hit me one day that the weekend hours account for almost half of the week! That meant that while I thought I was doing everything right, I was only doing so for HALF THE TIME. There’s nothing worse than coming into work on Monday and feeling like you are “back to square one”. So, if you’re using the weekends to “cheat”, I recommend trying not to and seeing how you feel. I’m by no means encouraging people to lock themselves in a room all weekend, but just do things in moderation. Try to stick with healthy eating for the majority of the weekend. Get some exercise outside. Limit alcohol intake. Get plenty of rest.
