Nothing matters but the weekend from a Tuesday point of view

This post is fueled by alcohol. No, I'm not day drinking.... but I had a few conversations this morning about everyone's weekend and obviously with it being summer, weekends revolve around drinks, food and overindulgence! When the regular routine comes back on Monday, you don't want to be a) experiencing a 2-day hangover or 2) only fit into your winter hibernation clothes. So, I've put together some tips.


Drink clear liquor. Might mean you’re playing flip cup with vodka.... be careful! While maintaining your fitness would ideally mean no alcohol whatsoever…. that’s not practical for many. So, stick to your clear liquors, like vodka which is about 60cals a shot. Beer and coolers are notoriously high in cals and sugar… so be proactive in your battle on bulge and if you drink, make it a clear liquor. Also, someone alerted me to the fact that Canada 67 beer is decent too!


Avoid snacking. I might be a snackasaurus rex, but I'm trying to make my breed extinct. Saying no to snacking is like Kim Kardash saying “no” to money. However, meals in the summer time, and long weekends specifically, tend to be ginormous. Hamburgers, hot dogs, fries, potato salad, corn on the cob etc. etc. If you avoid the in between, just something-to-do snacking on chips and pop… and either wait for your meal or try something more nutritious then you can keep your total day calorie intake in check and still enjoy the wonders of the BBQ (and hopefully your sexy grillmaster/cabana boy) offers you!




Join in the fun! Frisbee, volleyball, wakeboarding….. all great summer activities that burn cals. Get out there and play!





Plan your workouts in accordance to partying. Get in a workout before AND after you drink/eat your body weights worth of burgers. This isn’t the way to make progress with your fitness, but it will keep you from gaining too much.


Healthy, active living is the best lifestyle!

P.S. Make the healthy choice and opt for MAN CANDY instead ! :)
