before when my childrens father was more in the picture i would take advantage of the free time that i had available. i would treat at least either saturday or sunday as if it was a wkdy by still getting up early to workout! set that alarm!! leave one day open to sleep in and reward urself for a job well done at the end of a productive week! its all a mind game that u need to conquer...good luck :)

Get into something! A group or something. Get on a weekend team type of thing where you go and exercise somehow during the day (like a biking group). Then try to limit yourself to only one day where you can have an eating frenzy! Let me know how it goes! Good luck!

yes - it's all about structure!

typically when you're having a few cocktails your inhibitions are lowered as well as your judgement about what kind of food/junk you take in. that being said, use one day as a reward day for your week's accomplishments. instead of doing your normal exercise routine do something different like rollerblading or biking or hiking, etc. will get you the physical activity and keep you away from slipping. its ok to let loose a little if you've had a good solid clean week of eating good and exercise. don't beat yourself up. embrace your accomplishments and live a little
