Start to take charge of your weekend calorie count and lose those unwanted pounds that you carry around everywhere you go.

Friday

Make sure you have done your grocery shopping so that you will eat only good foods during the weekend as well as during the week. Start to eat less on Friday and have a light healthy meal at dinner to get a head start on your calorie count. Do not starve yourself or you will eat the wrong thing at the wrong time. If you find that you skip your exercise routine on weekends, start again so that you will burn more calories.

Saturday

Keep your body moving. If you are used to lying around on the weekend watching TV and filling yourself with unneeded snacks and beverages, get up and get moving. Go out and walk around the block or go to the mall and walk around. If you must watch TV -- do exercises while you watch, use a stationary bike, do standing leg lifts or something. Some movement is better than no movement at all. Thorough housecleaning and yard work is an excellent way to get your body moving so that you burn more calories.

Sunday

Have a good nutritious brunch or lunch today using the healthful food items that you bought when you shopped for grocery. If you always shop more that one day each week, shop on Thursday and Sunday. Shop on Thursday so that you can buy good foods so that you can stop the weekend weight gain. The food you buy on Sunday can be used for your meals throughout the rest of the week.

After you have lowered your weekend calorie count for a while, you will notice the changes that are bound to take place.
