You Can’t Outwork a Self-Sabotaging Weekend (2min Read)
🚨 THE WEEKEND IS RUINING YOUR PROGRESS 🚨
Let’s break this down properly.
Because this might be the most important message you read all week.
I see it time and time again...
💥 You're ON IT Monday to Thursday.
You train. You track. You hit your steps.
Then the weekend rolls in…And BOOM — it all goes out the window.
You think:"It’s fine, I’ve been good all week."But here’s the brutal truth:
4 days on, 3 days off?
That’s 57% adherence.
Let’s zoom out:
🗓 That’s 12 days “off” per month.
🗓 That’s 144 days “off” per year.
➡️ Nearly 5 months of self-sabotage.
➡️ You’re only truly “on” 7 months per year… at best.
Let that sink in.Would you expect to master your career, your finances, your relationship, by showing up
just 57% of the time?
Of course not.
💣 I USED TO BE A WEEKEND WARRIOR TOO
Monday to Thursday I was locked in.
Friday? It started to slip.
Saturday? I’d binge, skip training, ignore steps.
Sunday? Lazy day, no prep, off-plan food.
Then tell myself, “It’s okay, I’ll restart Monday.”
And I did…Over and over and over again.
But I stayed stuck.Until I stopped letting my weekend standards ruin my weekday work.
💡 HERE’S YOUR ACTION PLAN
You don’t need to be perfect. You need to be intentional.
✅ Calorie bank 200–300 cals Mon–Thurs(That’s 1,000+ cals saved for the weekend.)
✅ ALWAYS train on Friday or Saturday. Set the tone early. Dominate, don’t drift.
✅ Move MORE AIM for 10–15k steps, especially if you're eating out or drinking.
✅ Don’t ditch your system with the same meal structures — just allow flexible swaps.
✅ Track the night out anywayHonesty keeps you accountable. Don't pretend it didn’t happen.
✅ Anchor to a GOALRace, shoot, holiday, milestone — something bigger than “just fat loss.”
Your results don’t come from perfection. They come from protecting your momentum when motivation dips.
So I’ll leave you with this:
“You either let your weekends dictate your progress…or you take control of your weekends and dominate your results.”

"This weekend, I will…”
Say it. Mean it. Deliver it.
