Off days should be dedicated to increasing mental strength
When you have a day off from your weight training. You should spend that day thinking about your diet and being extremely strict on these days. Follow a eating schedule and plan on the rest of the weeks diet. This way when the week resumes you are less likely to fallout from your diet.
If you use a diet plan throughout the week you will run unto less times of the day when you have to resort to unhealthy food to appease your hunger.
Mental strength and physical strength go hand and hand. I find that the more mental strength i have the easier it is to push myself to the max in the gym and get those gains. So by practicing the self control of dieting you have increased your gains in the gym and can advance your level of fitness.
Constant self evaluation and examination will help you stay on target. You may not recognize you are loosening up in the gym or diet. On your days off it is really something to think about. Be resolute, want it!
This is so true... Im preparing for my 1st NPC show here in 4 1/2 weeks and I find I struggle more on my days off. great advice
Great entry. I had a day off today and got through it by mentally focusing on my goals. Went grocery shopping and prepared meals for the rest of the week...temptation came and went but I stayed on track with my macros. Definitely great advice.
