I eat clean all week, but on the weekends...

Does this sound familiar? With birthday parties, kids functions, and
all the running around, weekends can be a challenging time to eat
clean. I have battled with the mentality that, "it's the weekend, I
work hard all week and deserve to indulge a bit." This is fine, if
you've achieved your goal and are maintaining it. But, if your results
have plateaued, this may be the reason. I receive a lot of emails, and
this is a common question: "If I eat clean all week and train hard,
can't I eat what I want on the weekends?" Here's my answer: If
there are 365 days in a year, 104 of them are the weekend. This is
roughly a third of the year. With 261 days dedicated to fitness and 104
dedicated to indulging, your results will drastically suffer. I
never miss a meal, in fact, I enjoy food more than I should. So, this
is a battle in my life. Because I don't believe in unbalanced living, I
have found enjoying one meal on the weekend of whatever I want my key
to success and food happiness! What is your strategy for the weekends?
Are they derailing your fitness goals? Are you up for doing a challenge
of one planned indulgence meal versus the whole weekend to break out of
your plateau or push your results to the next level?
