Keeping Motivated on the Weekends

I know that weekends are usually people's downfall, at least for me. My husband is home, we are doing different things, my schedule is very different. Things are very hard to keep on track. So how do you do it. What I am finding out is there is a few keys to success that have started to work for me.
1. Plan out your day: I get up to the same schedule every day. I plan out my day. I figure out what I am having for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Figure out if I will be able to go to the gym, or if I need to do something different for that day.
2. Stick to the plan: I do my best to make sure that my food and exercise for the day goes along with the plan I set up. I keep myself motivated by checking things off. I always leave myself some calorie room, for the little things that could come up, like eating at someones house or going out to dinner.
3. Bring water with you everywhere: I know that when I am out and about I am tempted to stop at a drive through and get a caffeinated beverage, but I find that if I have water with me (enough so that I have it for the entire time I am away. I will take more than I think I will need, better safe than sorry) that I am less likely to stop to get something to drink then order the high fat, high calorie food along with it.
4. Allow for some set backs: I allow for myself to have some set backs as I go but I make sure that they are small ones not the big ones!!!
Keeping up the good vibes on the weekend just helps me start off my week to a great start. Keeps me motivated, expecially when I step on that scale on Monday morning and see that I did not gain, I lost!!
