Weekend Baby!!

The weekend is here and many of us use this time to do things around the house, unwind, spend time with family and hopefully relax.

In my experience this is also the time people think they can "cheat" on their nutritional plan. But let me ask you this:

If you eat well and follow your plan all week are you doing damage or are you taking steps towards your body comp goals. Some would say I am taking steps towards the goals...because psychologically this helps me get back after it Monday morning. In some cases this can happen (I think this person would have to already be in a fairly lean state). In other cases what happens is this: a bad day of eating turns into two, three, and then the dreaded..."I WILL START MONDAY" syndrome.

I would like to encourage you to continue to follow your plan. Enough of the 5 Steps forward 5 steps back plan. Look at your plan and you caloric intake in a weekly snapshot vs. a daily snap shot. Once you do this you will see how the extra calories derail you from the progress you are so hard trying to make.

I am a firm believer if you stick to the plan 90% of the time you will see significant progress. For example: If you eat 5 meals a day for 7 day this comes to to 35 meals for the week. Out of those 35 meals you can eat 4 meals of anything you want. Plan those 4 meals around your social schedule.

Have a great weekend and remember the 7 P's..Prior Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance
