130. How to Maintain Your Fitness and Stay on Track on the Weekends
Oct 05, 2025
Today’s episode topic may be a bit of a ‘buzzkill’, but..we’re going there anyway!
An ongoing challenge that many of us face (it comes up ALL.THE.TIME. with my clients), is staying on track on the weekends. There’s a variety of reasons why people tend to fall ‘off track’ regularly on the weekends, but this episode isn’t going to be filled with a bunch of corny ‘tips’, because this isn't a 'one-size-fits-all'.
I recently went out of town over the weekend and had a blast, but I didn’t go ‘balls to the wall’ either. I chose to stay ‘on track’, and was very mindful of my macros, getting movement in, etc. It’s totally possible to do this, and you need to learn how to navigate your weekend successfully because they ARE coming every single week (who knew right?!)
Weekends aren’t an excuse to eat like an asshole either. When you decide, commit, and plan out your weeks and weekends (and stay consistent in following your plan), you actually have more flexibility on the weekends too!
Weekends do NOT have to derail your progress when it comes to your fitness journey. No more continuously falling ‘off track’ - YOU are in control. I want you to find confidence in what you’re doing, and the steps you’re taking to better yourself & your health!
