Staying on track over the weekend is crucial to achieving your health and fitness goals. I know so many people who are weekend bingers and people who think calories on the weekend don’t count. Those same people are often the ones who complain about their lack of progress. While it is okay to splurge every now and then, splurging all weekend every weekend will really hinder your results! Read on to see what we do to stay on track over the weekend.
1. We stock our with healthy foods.
We recently switched our food shopping day from Sunday to Thursday. Food shopping on Thursday ensures that our fridge will be stocked with all the healthy foods we need to get us through the weekend. Not only do we keep our fridge stocked, but we have all of our food pre-prepped and portioned out. When we’re this prepared we have no excuse to not stay on track.
2. We make our takeout.
We’re always making healthier versions of our favorite takeout treats. We’ve previously made a Macro-Friendly Fried Rice and a Macro-Friendly Chicken and Balsamic wrap with mozzarella cheese. Both of those are currently posted to our site, if you haven’t done so yet feel free to check them out and maybe even make them this weekend! (If you do try them out, comment below and let us know what you thought!)

We’ve both been talking about how we really want some pizza! This weekend we will be making a Macro-Friendly pizza (don’t worry there is absolutely no cauliflower involved). To make our pizza we will be using whole wheat pita bread, part-skim low moisture mozzarella cheese and a low sodium sauce. Stay tuned for the recipe, we will be posting it on Sunday.
3. We take advantage of the nice weather.
After a week of horrible, rainy and snowy (yes Snowy – WTF NJ) weather we are going to be outside and active as much as possible. We both typically like to take our rest days on Sunday, so it really is the perfect day to go for a nice long recovery walk! If I get my way, we’ll walk about three miles or so.
We also take advantage of our location to walk to some of the places where we need to go to run errands. We will typically walk to the bank, pharmacy, and the library. One of our main goals is to be as active as possible every weekend and try not to spend the whole time sitting on the couch watching TV.
Staying on track over the weekend can definitely be challenging! Spend a few minutes today thinking about what you could be doing to better stay on track this weekend.
