Happy Saturday Morning! Hope you all are enjoying the weekend. How are you feeling today?
So I woke up this morning thinking since its Saturday and we are going to a friends place tonight, I am going to allow myself to have my daughters leftover bagel. Then I found myself thinking what else can I can eat this morning almost feeling like its a day off from my goal of eating healthy.
Now there's nothing wrong with having a day off except I also took yesterday off. So here I was thinking well its Saturday and since I am going to eat a lot tonight I might as well go all out for breakfast and lunch and then it hit me... I was like whoa.....stop right there girlfriend. Just because its the weekend and we are going to meet friends tonight, it does not mean I do and eat as I please.
Given its the weekend, there is no excuse for me to not stick to my goals. I set the intention back in January to eat healthy(less carbs and sugar) so even if it is Saturday and we are going out, I need to stick to my intentions.
My mind was thinking you are going to eat tonight so its okay to just go all out. That's where I had to put the brakes on my mind and take a step back and say no, I know I am going out but I really don't want to go all out during the day as well. I need to keep the control and I did. I only had 2 small bits of my daughters left over bagel and threw the rest in the trash.
Friends, don't let the weekend serve as an excuse to not hit and stick to your goals. I am all for taking the day off and eating a more regular meal but be careful that the day off does not become more than just that day. I actually cheated a lot this week and ate more carbs than I should have but I am not going to let that become the new way. It only takes a day and I can easily fall back to my old ways.
If you worked hard to hit your resolutions, don't undo it and say now that's its the weekend, I am just going to eat anything that I want. Stick to your goals, even if it is the weekend. Find alternate ways and motivation to stick to your goals no matter what.
So do your best even on the weekends. Take a day off if you need to but get right back to your plan and goals the next day. So my plan for today is to have a green smoothie and then no food till dinner.
Control my friends! You've got this. Enjoy the weekend but remember your goals and resolutions.
Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!
Peace,
Monita
