Whell, same problem, especially at this time of year; and it's not only the holidays...Months Ocotber through mid-december is the dead season in terms of outdoors sports....Hiking season over, ski did not began yet... When i'm on trails for 6-8 hours, i do not think of fast food at all....but what's to do in when there's nothing to do?
Here is one of my typical automn Week-end:
Friday night: When work is over, i train at the pool, (50 laps) and have a light supper at home. I usually go to bed around 10-11 pm.
Saturday: first danger: I often gather with friends at restaurant for braekfast...This is dangerous....too easy to get your fried eggs - saucage-bacon - pancakes; peer pressure i guess. We have to overcome this and find something healthy on the menu like fruit plate, yogourt, scrambled eggs....
After braekfast, i usually go to a little café and read saturday newspaper...this really kills time. Saturday edition is almost as thick as me
Saturday night: Second threat: since most of my friends are with their girlfriends; i often find myself alone. To overcome this, i often go see a movie or rent one at Video store. Sometimes i also take very long walks downtown Montreal.
Sunday: Third Threat; I pay a visit to my parents; and often get invited for supper....even if i'm 34, a mother is still a mother and do not want ihis son to starve....so i end up with a square foot of lasagna in my plate..this started to change when i told her i got hypertension...
So that's the week-end dangers and the way to avoid them....
