For those who don’t have heavy weekends now and again or dont go out for drinks, or stay in for drinks, this doesnt really apply to you, but have you ever tried not drinking alcohol at the weekend, especially if you usually drink every weekend?
I have a few drinks the weekend now and again, not so much as i used to when i was a kid, but i know the difference now certainly between not drinking and drinking!!
Drinking the alcohol on the weekend can mean a subdued start to the weekend for me and most people i know. I get around this by going for a very early sunday morning run, and the result is usually amazingly positive, i feel great after that run and hit monday hitting the ground running very quickly, if you pardon the pun!! I have mentioned this many times of course.
So what about the rest of you? Do you practice sunday morning workouts to get rid of your excesses?
Most of you must have and although it seems a horrible thought to do a workout after a big night out, but the results are always more than worth it!
What about the moments when you eat lots of rubbish and instead of giving up the ghost for the weekend or even the week and continue to eat badly, it encourges you to get out there and train and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!
I have had many such moments and you could even use this food which you normally don’t eat as EXTRA energy on your longer bike rides, your big running workouts or your tough inside workouts, how about seeing it as an opportunity rather than a feel sorry for yourself moment?
Every situation can be a different opportunity for you, good or bad.
None of us are perfect, and its about how we react to what life throws at us is the most important factor every single time!
So the title to all of this shoud not really be have you ever tried not drinking the weekend and feeling amazing on monday.
It SHOULD be have you ever tried reacting hugely positively to each and every situation that comes your way?
I didnt say it was easy but it can become a very valuable habit for you and transform your workouts, your health, just about everything!!!
