Summer Got You Feeling Guilty? Read This.

How many times have you said any of these to yourself this summer: "This weekend, I’m NOT going out. I'm NOT going to eat pizza four nights this week. I'm NOT going to do any tequila shots. I'm NOT going to miss my AM workout."

And then five minutes later you think, "Oh shoot, it's so and so's birthday next weekend. Guess I’m gonna have to take a rain check on those good intentions..."

How many times have you repeated that same pattern of thinking this summer? How many times have you planned to have only home-cooked meals all weekend, but have somehow found yourself at a boozy brunch on Saturday morning?

Oops.

Do you end a weekend of indulging sitting at home on Sunday nights feeling guilty for being indulgent and telling yourself that you will be better next week? Are you tired of feeling like you’ve done something wrong just because you indulged a little?

We want you to understand something important...

• You are not a “bad person” for having a good time and enjoying your summer
• You have nothing to feel guilty about when you go out for pizza and drinks with your friends
• You are not erasing all your hard work in the gym if you stay for “just one more beer”

Remember, summer is the time for you to be your most carefree, relaxed, and happy self. The sun is out, everyone is in a good mood, and the city is vibrant. You should be part of it and indulge without feeling like you're screwing up your progress in the gym. As long as you're not completely giving up on your workouts and sticking to an overall healthy diet, you are allowed to let loose without the GUILT. So, instead of feeling guilty all summer, tell yourself that once September comes around, you're going to get back into it. FULL FORCE. 

Here's how you can get back on track by the end of summer:

• Step up your workout intensity & frequency
• Meal prep healthy meals before you begin each week
• Recruit your best friends to keep you accountable

Remember, nothing is PERMANENT, including your summer indulgences. You will get back to where you were before, and in the meantime - enjoy it while it lasts!
