Here's how not to unravel
“You've knit together a good routine of working out and eating well during the week, but don't have much structure on the weekends. Here's how not to unravel. ”
This way of thinking is actually pretty good because it gives you a sturdy foundation of eating well and exercising plus your brain knows it's not forever - a break is coming. But, (you knew there'd be one didn't you?) don't go so overboard that you undo everything during the week. It might seem impossible but if you're indulging in chain-style restaurant food, one meal can actually be like eating three meals at once - three really, really unhealthy meals. Your one over-indulgence can give you three days worth of artery clogging fat, sodium, and cholesterol. So, while it's good to shake up your routine occasionally, don't blow the top off all you've worked for.
