Weekend tips

[ella898]

Hey everyone,

Any tips for keeping focused over the weekend and to keep logging? I do really well in the week then the weekend I really struggle!

I choose to have more of my calories over the weekend to allow for some alcohol as I do enjoy having a drink but I must still to that figure any tips to stay focused?

Thanks

I have a few extras over the weekend but I do still write everything down 😊. For the first few weeks I didn’t though as I wanted to get well and truly on my way. Alcohol in particular is a trigger for me ☹️

Yes alcohol is also not good but I just can’t live without having it over the weekend still want to enjoy life... x

I'll sound like a stuck record but try using the Daily Diary. Write your daily menu down and include the alcohol and any exercise.

Much easier to achieve a target when you have one

Why do you struggle at the weekend? What triggers you off??

Is it being in the house for more time than a week day (maybe because you are at work in the week and at home for the weekend?)

Is it because you get tempted to have a takeaway, or have a chocolate bar or bag of crisps / popcorn etc because this is a habit or a regular thing you are used to.

Is there a trigger such as one of the above or a reason why you think you struggle on a weekend?
