180. Why You Keep “Needing a Break” on Weekends (And How to Fix It)

from Reclaim Your Plate · host Samantha Lee

Weekends aren’t actually the problem. The way your Monday–Friday is set up is what’s draining you. In this episode, we talk about the real reason you hit Friday night feeling like, “I just need a break… I’ll worry about my goals on Monday". You may think you're lacking disciplined but what's really happening is your plan is either too intense, too stressful, or not aligned with your real life. Inside this episode, I walk you through how to read your body’s signals, and what adjustments you need to make to your workouts and meals to help you stop undoing the progress you make Monday through Thursday. Here’s what we get into: -How to tell if your workout routine is actually too intense for your current season and what to do when your body is exhausted instead of energized -Why stress at work is bleeding into your weekend decisions, and how to make the weekend stop being a recovery session -The shift you need to finally make your habits last vs not just hitting the gym hard Monday–Thursday and collapsing Friday night Book a call to get your custom holiday plan: https://calendly.com/superlysam/6-months-1-1-coaching-sales-call Apply for 1:1 Coaching: Ready to lose 10-20 pounds while eating foods you love?
