Time for the weekend! Wahooooooo!
Weekends can present us with unique obstacles to eating healthy. Sometimes we’re out and about and we don’t have healthy food options available. Sometimes we have celebrations to attend. Sometimes we have visitors or guests…sometimes WE ARE visitors or guests!
The important thing is to anticipate our obstacles as much as possible and then set our intentions on how we’ll handle them.
So let’s set our intentions for the weekend’s events…how are we going to ensure success in our efforts to eat healthy?
- Maybe we pack healthy snacks or lunches for days when we’ll be on the road?
- If we find ourselves in the position where we’re willing to eat out, maybe we check out restaurant menus online before choosing where to go? (Are there healthy options?)
- Maybe we offer to bring a nutritious and delicious side to that party we’re invited to?
- If friends are coming over, maybe we make a fancy Mocktail so we can stick to our goals without feeling left out?
- Maybe we plan some fun activities with friends or family that DON’T involve eating or going out for drinks (movies, games, dancing, hiking, biking, beach time, reading, art, music, tennis, etc.)
- Maybe we make a conscious decision to enjoy ONE small indulgence, guilt-free...knowing that our very next food choice is a healthy one and we're immediately back on track!
Whatever it is you do, I hope it’s amazing! Make choices that make you feel happy and empowered--now AND in the future!
Have a great weekend! And I’ll “see” you Monday!
