Heavy weekend?
Few too many drinks.
A bit of a free for all with food.
Routine out the window.
First thingâŚ
Relax.
You havenât ruined your progress.
What actually ruins progress is turning one messy weekend into three messy weeks because you think youâve blown it.
That all or nothing mindset is what keeps people stuck.
Hereâs what I tell my clients to do:
- Do not try and âundoâ it. No crash dieting on Monday. No starving yourself. Just go straight back to your normal calories and structure.
- Get moving. Nothing crazy. Hit your steps. Go for a walk. Fresh air. Back into your usual rhythm.
- Drink plenty of water. Most of what youâre feeling is dehydration and inflammation. Sort that first.
- Eat like an adult again. Protein with every meal. Fruit. Veg. Decent whole foods. Keep it boring and consistent for a few days.
- Train as planned. Not as punishment. Just back to the programme.
Thatâs it.
Fat loss isnât about being perfect.
Itâs about how quickly you can reset.
If youâre a busy professional 35 plus, weekends, work events and family stuff are always going to pop up.
The goal is not to avoid them.
The goal is to handle them without spiralling.
If this sounds like you and youâre fed up of the stop start cycle, drop me a message and letâs sort it properly.
