Sure. I'll have a few beers on Friday & Saturday. I'll also be a little loose with my diet. Maybe that means pizza, maybe a bacon cheeseburger, who know? I even workout on Saturdays & Sundays. The key is not to get out of control. A few slices of pizza's fine but not the whole thing. A few beers is ok just not 15.
I usually play rugby on saturdays (seasons pretty much dun now tho), so il have good breakfast, not strict just plenty slow acting carbs. il have banna etc b4 game, kick ass on the pitch, then wen im dun we get food after Pprobs only pasta etc, but sometimes its a pie, so what the heck, il have 2. Iv just burned off alot of calories (especially in my position) so il eat that. Couple hours later il be home and pretty much always have pizza on saturdays (convenient), and although i havnt been drinking recently, sometimes il head out with the team and mates and see local bands etc and knock back a few beers.
Sunday il probs have cooked brekkie 3-4 fried eggs, few sausages/bacon (grilled-no need to fry them, thats unneccasaraly unhealthy), glass OJ. And at night i might have roast. So over the hole weekend the total calories etc are higher than normal day, but not hugely so. I dont always eat more, but it isnt clean.
Im not saying stuff urself on pizza, im just saying b human, if ur super strict 7 days a week, weighing/counting everything that passes over ur lips, ul get bored/tired/lathargic, and fed up and ul quit!
KNowing that u have cheat meals/down time etc at wknd to look foreward to will make the week do-able, ul probs enjoy the week more. Ul train harder knowing ur gonna deserve a break from it wen the wknd comes around.
Use the wknd to do stuff with ur mates, go and watch a game in a bar, and u dont have to be the one sipping water, or feeling guilty for having a beer and sum chips, b/c u know uv earned them, and ur gonna earn them again come monday!!
