How To Lose Weight Over the Weekend and Not Gain!
Woohoo, the weekend is finally here! Time to kick back and enjoy, right?!
For a lot of us though the weekend is when our healthier habits fly out the window.
Our brains sometimes can tell us that because we have been “good” all week, we deserve to take a break for a couple days.
The result? A weekend of overeating, making poor food choices and drinking more alcohol.
And then when Monday morning rolls around we feel like we’ve been hit by a truck. We are bloated, our energy is zapped, our brains feel foggy, and the worst part, we are ridden with guilt and remorse!
This does NOT need to be the norm!
Follow these steps to become your very own Weekend Warrior! Feel good about your choices and start the week off refreshed and renewed!
Use the weekend to balance your cortisol hormone. Did you know that excessively high amounts of cortisol leads to weight gain and other underlying health issues? It’s true! Use the weekend to de-stress! Spark joy into your life. Whether that’s gardening, meditation, working out, hiking, or just getting out in nature.
Don’t skip meals. Think of the weekend as just another day of the week. Eat your snacks, plan ahead if you’re going out with a quick grab & go snack or smoothie. Grocery shop on Saturday and meal prep on Sunday. Set yourself up for success for the upcoming week ahead.
Watch your alcohol intake. Most beverages are packed with wasted calories - carbs & sugar! Your body also becomes less efficient at burning fat when you drink alcohol, 73% less efficient to be exact!
Make sleep a priority. I know, I say it all the time, but not getting enough sleep directly impacts fat loss! Being sleep deprived leads to hunger and cravings. In an ideal world, you would go to bed and wake up around the same time every day of the week, and get at least seven hours of shut-eye. Start building good sleeping habits now, your body will thank you later.
Here’s to a Happy, Healthy, Weekend my friend! Let’s do this!
