A recap of my weekly workouts from the previous week.

Happy Monday! Are you ready to get back on track this week? I sure am. This weekend consisted for 2 rest days and a decent amount of drinking. I don’t talk about this too much, but I track my macros and have been for the past 3 months. I saw great success doing it training for my marathon (mostly from my runs feeling really good) so I figured I would continue with it. I have been really consistent for past few months — tracking every day (except when we went to San Fran) and hitting the numbers I am supposed to hit. There might of been a few times where I was off some, but for the most part I have done a pretty great job.

That changed some this week. I had a unplanned dinner out on Wednesday night that threw me off a little. Then on Saturday I drank a lot of vodka. Which then lead to me eating things I normally don’t. I haven’t drank that much in probably 3 months. But I think it was good for my mind. I needed to let go of the reins a little and have some fun. Not be so strict on myself and just go with the flow.

Honestly, I think it is okay to have one of those days every once in awhile. Being healthy is way more than just working out and eating right. You need to be happy and have balance with your life. Some days that is eating kale salads and others it is having a drink (or four) with some friends. I had a lot of fun this weekend and it felt good to just let go. Days like that shouldn’t be a weekly thing, but every so often is good for you.

I didn’t throw away my whole weekend though. Yesterday I got back on track. In the past I probably would have done nothing on Sunday and ate shitty, thinking I would just get back at it on Monday. Instead of going out to breakfast like Michael wanted, I made eggs and veggies at home for myself. Ate a healthy dinner, got some work done, went grocery shopping, and drank a lot of water. Having those days is fine once in awhile, but get back on track after it. Don’t wait until Monday. Have fun, then get back to normal. You will feel much better doing it and once Monday rolls around, you won’t feel like you wasted your whole weekend/progress you made recently.
