Feel Good Friday

Good morning, girls!
Over 4 days strong!  Woohoo!

I hope you all have a fun weekend planned!  Today's post, I'd love if you all could comment and share with us all your game plan for staying strong in your diet and workout department over the weekend.  We all need to whip those iron wills into place :)

Here are a few ideas (from this Men's Health article):
* Pencil in at least one longer workout later in the week to counteract the extra weekend calories you'll no doubt consume.
* Take a break from your typical routine to cross-train or, say, attend a boxing class. You'll burn more fat as you put demands on different muscles. Take a swim instead of your typical stint on the elliptical machine; or play basketball or soccer. Maybe swap a short run for a longer one that includes sprints and hills.
* Try to start Saturday and Sunday with a healthy breakfast, even if you're waking up later. It'll rev up your metabolism. Successful weight control is consistently linked to breakfast-eating.
* Jump on the scale on Saturday morning, and plan to do it again on Monday. Researchers say people who weigh themselves are better at weight control.
* Variety is the cornerstone of a healthy diet, but having too many options spells doom for persistent snackers. Restrict afternoon snacks to one healthy choice, such as almonds, popcorn, or pretzels. No refills!
* Avoid mindless eating while you commune with your DVR. Leave food and drinks in the kitchen. When food's directly under your nose, you eat more.
* Get your rest. Sleep deprivation can wreak havoc on your metabolism and makes it difficult to avoid overeating.

Which one might work for you this weekend?
