No More Monday Regrets: 4 Ways to Stay Consistent This Weekend!

Weekends have a reputation for derailing even the best of intentions. If you’re like many women juggling busy lives, the Friday evening mindset of “I deserve this” can often lead to Monday morning regret. It’s a cycle that feels impossible to break, but the truth is, your weekends don’t have to be a roadblock to your progress - they can be a launchpad.

Here’s how to shift your approach and keep your momentum going through Sunday night while still enjoying yourself:

1. Rethink the Weekend Mindset
   What if the weekend wasn’t a break from your goals, but an opportunity to build on them? Picture waking up Monday morning feeling energized and proud instead of starting from scratch. The secret? Seeing the weekend as an extension of your goals, not an escape from them.

2. Simplify Your Plan
   You don’t need an elaborate routine to stay on track. Instead, pick one or two small goals. Drink more water, take a quick walk, or plan balanced meals for the day. These manageable actions build consistency without feeling overwhelming.

3. Enjoy Without Overindulging
   Weekends are for enjoyment, not guilt. Instead of “cheating,” choose treats you truly love and savor them. This simple shift helps you feel in control and prevents the spiral of overindulgence that often leads to regret.

4. Let Your Wins Fuel You
   Reflect on the effort you put in during the week—how good it felt to stay consistent. Use that energy as motivation to finish the weekend strong. Imagine starting Monday ahead of the game instead of catching up.

The weekend doesn’t have to derail your goals. With a few mindset shifts and some simple planning, it can become the time you feel most aligned with your goals. Need accountability? Email me and let’s chat about how we can make this your new normal. 

Ditch the Scale, Fall in Love with How You Feel

How many times have you stepped on the scale, only to have it ruin your entire day? One number suddenly determines your mood, your confidence, and even what you eat. But here’s the truth, the scale isn’t telling you the full story.

That number doesn’t reflect how strong you’ve gotten, how much energy you have, or how well your body is functioning. It doesn’t measure better sleep, balanced hormones, or the fact that your jeans are fitting better even if the number hasn’t budged.

I learned this firsthand when I started the FASTer Way. At the end of my first six weeks, the scale told me I had only lost four pounds. But my before-and-after pictures told a completely different story. My body composition had changed so much that I looked like I had lost way more. That was the moment I realized the scale wasn’t the best way to track progress...how I felt and how my clothes fit were much better indicators.

So what if you shifted your focus?

• Instead of tracking your weight, track your energy levels.
• Instead of obsessing over a number, notice how your workouts are improving.
• Instead of letting the scale dictate your day, tune into how you feel.

Real progress is about more than weight. It’s about building a body and lifestyle you feel good in. And when you start measuring success differently, you’ll realize just how far you’ve come.

Feeling Stuck? Reflect on What’s Already Working!

Life gets busy, and it’s so easy to overlook all the little victories you’re racking up every single day. When you’re juggling family, work, and trying to take care of yourself, it’s tempting to fixate on big, far-off goals—like losing that last 10 pounds or sticking to a perfect routine. But here’s the truth: the magic is in the small wins.

Did you carve out time for a workout this week? Show up on time for something important? Take even a small step to prioritize yourself - like a 10-minute walk, going to bed earlier or joining my Chilly Challenge for December? Those seemingly "small" things aren’t small at all. They’re the foundation of success, and they deserve to be celebrated.

Progress is not about being perfect; it’s about consistency. You’re going to miss a workout or make a less-than-perfect meal choice. That’s okay. What matters is that you keep showing up, making small, intentional choices every day. That’s how real, lasting change happens.

And here’s a little secret: reflection is a superpower. Taking a moment to pause and recognize what you haveaccomplished—no matter how small—keeps you motivated and builds confidence. It’s proof that you’re capable and moving forward, even if progress feels slow.

So, what are you proud of this week? Think about it. Write it down. Share it with someone (I’d love to hear it!). Those wins, no matter how tiny they seem, are worth celebrating.
