Hints for the Weekend

Navigating the weekends can be tricky. After a week of work we all feel entitled to eat, drink and relax on the weekends. Unfortunately, two days of overindulging can derail your weight loss goals. Here are a couple of suggestions to help you stay on track but also enjoy your weekends.

- Drink a low cal beer such as MGD 64 or Select 55.
- Add ice to your wine. This is a perfect trick in the summer.
- Have a lighter breakfast or skip it.
- Increase the amount you workout by 10-20 minutes.
- Clean your house, run errands, just MOVE more.
- Pick one day or night to indulge on the weekends, not the entire weekend.

Life is all about balance. You deserve to enjoy your weekend but you don't want to offset all the hard work that you put in during the week.

If your goal is to maintain your weight, as long as you are incorporating exercise and not bingeing, your weekend activties shouldn't have an effect on your weight.
