Weekends and Weight gain

Weekends, the time to get stuff done and also relax.  That is what most people see it as, I see it as an excuse to deviate from my healthy lifestyle. All progress during the week is usually sabotaged on the weekend. With donuts in the morning out to eat for lunch and a dinner for kings. Let's not forget our outing to the movies, or the mall where I am suckered into movie popcorn candy and sodas or the food court out of convenience. Every time I make head way during the week I sabotage myself on the weekends by eating far too much junk. Barry Popkin, PhD, co-author of a study on weekend weight gain said, Americans ages 19-50 consume and average of 115 more calories a day on the weekend. Added up over the year that is 17,940 or about 5 extra lbs. My goal from now on is to find ways to be more active on the weekends and avoid the trap of easy food that has way more calories that my delicious shakes that are healthier, more filling and easier to fix, eat, and clean up.
