sabatage
 

How do I overcome this? I eat well during the week and by the time Friday comes I don't feel like cooking dinner. All I really want is some type of take-out. In fact, I do not like cooking on Friday and Saturday. I need to retrain myself, but don't know how. Anyone else have this issue? What do you do to keep yourself on plan for the weekend?

No More Sabotage
 

Here is something that I do to help myself through the weekends. During the week I make a double batch of a couple of my dinners and put them in the freezer. I rotate them so that a meal that we had two weeks ago is now a meal that I just have to thaw and heat in the microwave on Friday or whenever. Another thing is that we'll have a grab-n-growl once a week, usually on Saturday or Sunday, where everyone fends for him or herself from leftovers or a quick meal that you make for yourself. I hope this is helpful. Good luck.

We still go out, or get pizza sometimes. The difference is that now I plan for it and "budget" the food into my count for the day. A pizza lasts a lot longer than it used to around here!

I also tend to go out places I can eat healthy. Yesterday, after a grueling week, we went to Chili's and I got the Guiltless Grill Salmon -- less than 500 cals and really tasty!
