From speaking with our past EIE athletes, we know that quality nutrition choices really start to decline starting on Thursday night and they typically last through the weekend.  That really means that people are hitting only 3 out of 7 days with quality food choices!  This is why Monday is such a busy day at the gym, people have that feeling of wanting to ‘get back on track.’  We suggest you take an active approach to solving this problem by coming up with a plan of action for your weekend.  Ask yourself, what are the scenarios that I find myself in where I make bad choices?  How can I avoid these situations?  If I cannot avoid these situations, can I make different choices?  Break the trend and accomplish your goals, we promise it is worth it!
