This summer has been CRAZY busy. When
I say crazy, I mean plans EVERY WEEKEND. Ain’t nobody got time for that! I’m at
that age where everyone is getting married and having babies which means
showers, parties and lots of weddings! And what do you know, I have a
bachelorette party this weekend! I’ve also struggled with having GREAT weekdays
and then the weekend hits, and we’re back at square 1 on Monday morning. OUCH!
Why put in all the work if I’m just going to ruin it come Saturday?
Unacceptable! So I’ve devised a little to-do list of all the DO’s before
hitting up your parties on the weekend!
- Know
your party plans
Ask the bridal party (or bride if she
knows) what the plans are for the night/weekend. You want to be able to
pre-plan YOUR night. Are you going out for dinner? Scope out the restaurant’s
menu for healthy options and plan your meal ahead of time. Are you spending the
weekend at a beachhouse? Ask what meals are being served or pack your own so
you are getting in all the nutrition your body needs for a big weekend. Know
what you’re doing so you can plan to stay on track no matter what you do.
- Get
in solid meals before the party starts
Chances are you may be indulging some
drinks, so you want to have a well-balanced meal beforehand. Protein &
carbs are my go-to before a night out. It fills me up and satisfies me for the
day meaning I won’t feel the need to indulge in a ton of shots and post-bar
crappy foods!
- Drink
your water too!
If you’ve decided you just can’t
bachelorette without a drink or two (or 10!) just make sure your drinking ALSO
includes water. I’m not talking about a glass before bed, I’m talking a glass
in between drinks. Yes, the bar DOES serve water too! Drinking water will help
to flush your body. Maybe you won’t feel the buzz as much as you’d like but
you’re less likely to experience AS MUCH bloat, and you’ll definitely feel
better than all the other ladies in the morning!
- DANCE!
It’s pretty well guaranteed there’s
going to be a TON of dancing at a bachelorette party… and if there isn’t, why
are you going!? Just kidding… sort of. Did you know you can burn anywhere from
200 to 500 calories in an hour of dancing? Obviously this is dependent on the
type of dance you’re doing, but HELLO, it’s still burning calories! Don’t be a
silly sally and watch all the other gals have fun. GET UP AND DANCE!
- Eat
a solid meal the morning after
