Hi everyone -

I need some advice. During the week, everything goes well. I eat right, pack my lunches, exercise, etc.... But then the dreaded weekend comes and it's all eating out and drinking with friends. No matter what I do, it's just so hard to keep my weight down and my diet on track during the weekend. Do you have any suggestions? Should I just completely stop going out and drinking alcohol? Is there a way to do it in moderation? Your advice and tips are greatly appreciated!

-Ashley

    Try upping your exercise during the weekend. You can still drink just know that you are going to work twice as hard for it that morning. I knew that Saturday was my brother's wedding so I got up at 7:30 in the morning and went and ran 3 10 minute miles. The result was that I did not gain at all even though I over-indulged. I also up my water intake on the weekends. 64 oz on a work day. Then 96 oz on a weekend. Hope this helps!

    Plan your meals for the weekend ahead of time too because as they say...

    Fail to plan then plan to fail...
