If you’ve ever thought, “I’ll just start over Monday”, this blog is for you.

For years, I felt like I was on track Monday-Thursday… only to completely spiral by Friday night.

I told myself I had to be perfect all week… and when I wasn’t? I went all in.
🍕 More pizza.
🍷 More drinks.
🍪 More sweets.
All because I “messed up” and figured, why not just restart next week?

But here’s what I realized: It wasn’t the weekends keeping me stuck—it was my approach to them.

🚨 So today, I’m breaking down 7 things I would NEVER do again if I wanted to stop the weekend start-over cycle and actually see results.

1️⃣ Restrict All Week in Preparation for a Weekend Binge

My old game plan? Eat 1,200 calories, cut out carbs, and stick to “clean eating” Monday-Friday…

By Friday night? I was face-first in a family-sized bag of chips.

🚨 Why this doesn’t work:
Your body isn’t meant to survive on extreme restriction. By the time the weekend hits, your cravings take over.

✔ The Fix: Fuel your body consistently so you don’t feel out of control when the weekend rolls around.

2️⃣ Ignore Weekends When Planning My Nutrition

Ever felt “on track” all week, only to feel bloated and discouraged by Monday?

That was me. I hit my macros perfectly Monday-Thursday… then went off the rails Friday-Sunday.

🚨 Why this doesn’t work:

Your body doesn’t reset on Mondays. If you don’t plan for the weekend, it will always throw off your progress.

✔ The Fix: Plan for weekends the same way you plan your weekdays.
→ Got brunch plans? Adjust your other meals accordingly.
→ Going out for dinner? Prioritize protein earlier in the day.

3️⃣ Say YES to Every Event but NO to a Plan

Going out for dinner? Instead of making a game plan, I’d wing it…
…then panic when I saw the menu, say “screw it,” and eat whatever.

🚨 Why this doesn’t work:
If you don’t have a plan, you’re more likely to fall into all-or-nothing thinking.

✔ The Fix:
✅ Look up the menu ahead of time.
✅ Don’t show up starving—eat protein before heading out.
✅ Remember, one meal won’t ruin your progress.

4️⃣ Think One “Off-Track” Meal Ruins Everything

If you’ve ever eaten one cookie and immediately thought, “Welp, today is ruined” or feel you are simply broken forever, this is for you.

🚨 Why this doesn’t work:
One meal doesn’t ruin progress. A weekend binge? That’s another story.

✔ The Fix:
✅ Ditch the “I already messed up” mindset.
✅ Focus on what you do MOST of the time, not just one meal.

The Solution: Learn How to Stay on Track WITHOUT Restriction

🚨 If any of this sounds familiar, here’s what you need to do:
✅ Learn how to track macros in social settings.
✅ Stop letting one meal turn into a weekend binge.
✅ Ditch the “perfect or nothing” mindset.
