It’s Friday, and you’re getting ready to “Start Monday” You know what that means! Three more nights and two more days to eat whatever the Hell you want. (not really) You might have that favorite food all ready to go, those vices all lined up. Maybe you even arranged a Farewell to Food Tour. Just like Barbara Streisand, you’ve probably said, “This is the last time”
I’m not going to tell you what to eat this weekend, I’m not going to tell you what to do. You need to do what you have to do to get it out of your system. It’s already out of your system, you don’t need it, but you might think you need still need it.
I still remember my last Steakhouse Burger at Burger King. I remember thinking how badly I’d miss it, how I’d crave it. I’ve tried one once in the past two years, had a couple bites and no longer liked how it tasted. You’ll eventually feel the same about some of you “Must Haves”
All I’ll say is this, whatever you plan on doing this weekend, do so in moderation. Remember, it’s all moving you away from your eventual goal. Yes, you haven’t “officially” started, but in reality you have” Every pound you put on between now and Monday is one more pound you have to take off to achieve your goal. Keep that in mind this weekend.
Tomorrow I’ll touch on some of the foods you should start stocking up on. You don’t have to, but I like to buy all my food for the week on Sunday so I know what I’m eating and I have no excuses. You’re less likely to stray if you’re not looking in the fridge saying, “There’s nothing to eat in here”

I’d do a post on the last “meal” I ate before starting Body-for-LIFE, but I don’t want to give you any ideas! I’m pretty sure I’m still digesting some of it.

It’s rather an interesting coincedence finding your blog Mat. I’d planed on starting my 12 weeks this coming Monday, and bam here you are lol. So thanks; having your perspective from the other side is nice.

I swear to god you’re talking to me! I’ve been thinking about re-starting body for life and found you through Audrey. My husband and I are both in need of a kick-start. Today we both said, “let’s eat what we want this weekend because this is it.”
I’ll be reading more and following along. Congrats on the awesome transformation!!
