Why Most Guys Sabotage Weekends—And How To Fix It

Let’s face it, weekends ruin more progress than missed workouts.

Why?

• No structure = poor decisions

• More social events = more temptations

• You let your foot off the gas, thinking, “I deserve a break.”

Here’s how to enjoy the weekend without blowing your progress:

• Stick to your usual meal timing, especially breakfast

• Stay hydrated (dehydration mimics hunger)

• Plan your indulgence, don’t let it turn into a 48-hour binge

• Get your workouts done early, before distractions pile up

The goal isn’t to be perfect. It’s to be strategic.

Resource Highlight: Troy’s Shift to a Lifelong Fitness Lifestyle

Troy didn’t come to 3M Coaching for a quick fix.
He was ready for something deeper, a lifestyle change.

Before joining, he was “floating through life” with a body and energy level he wasn’t proud of.
Clothes stayed on at the beach, confidence was low, and he knew the years weren’t going to slow down for him.

In just 90 days, Troy:

• Dropped 12 pounds while adding visible muscle definition

• Built the confidence to take his shirt off anywhere: beach, yard, or gym

• Improved sleep, energy, and overall vitality

• Established a sustainable routine he can follow for life, not just a program timeline

Now, Troy’s transformation isn’t about a number on the scale; it’s about years added to his life and a daily routine that fuels performance.
He’s living proof that it’s never too late to reverse course and build a body you’re proud of.

Question from Our Readers:

“I travel a lot and eat out often. How do I track my macros when I can’t prep meals?”

— Leo, 55, from Atlanta

Great question, Leo. You don’t need to be perfect, just close enough.

Here’s how:

• Use the “eyeball method”: palm = protein, fist = carbs, thumb = fats

• Prioritize protein first: grilled meats, eggs, fish, etc.

• Look up the restaurant menu in advance and plug estimates into your tracker

• Skip sauces and extras when possible; they hide a lot of calories

It’s not about tracking down to the gram; it’s about staying consistent and avoiding blind spots.
