Don't you just LOVE the weekends?! 

I know this is your time to get lots of things done around the house, places to go, people to see...but are you making sure you get those important tasks in too?
People tend to let certain things go during the weekend that they make a priority during the week. This has been a constant struggle for me. I am great during the week and in the past I would ruin my progress on the weekend!

If being in good health and shape is important to you, you cannot totally let it go on the weekends.. Although your nutrition is 80% and exercise is 20% of your results, you have to put 100% into your goals to get to your happy place!
Make it your priority to get in that workout before you get too busy that it is not important anymore. Make a plan for the things you have going on and stick to the cheat meals you have laid in place.

Make your goals and dreams a reality! It comes with dedication and hard work.. YOU CAN DO IT!!

GOOD MORNING!

DONE BEFORE SUN!  

When is the best time to workout?  Anytime!  However I have really found that if I do not get it done in the morning way too many things can get in my way!  With our busy schedules and demands on our time it is THE most amazing feeling to say, wow--- that's done and I don't have to worry about it!  It really helps the procrastinator in you realize the power of positive choices.  You feel empowered all Day!  

Today I was fighting the Holiday Blues.... feeling icky after letting some treats in over the past week and a half.  I woke up, determined to feel better!  However as much as I was excited to workout the voices in my head kept feeding me every excuse in the book.  Maybe I'll just go to the gym and do Cardio, maybe I'll this, maybe I"ll that, My knees hurt, blah blah blah.  Once I pushed play I was STILL saying these things during my warm up.  But Guess What?  Once 39 minutes was 36 I was like.. well hey, if you save this until later you have 3 more minutes to do again!  I continued without looking back, did my best, journaled my workouts and Checked OFF my box! Today was my first workout of Lean 2 in Chalene Extreme and it was hard!  But awesome!  The fact that it was back and shoulders makes me excited... to see those results!  Who doesn't want to  have amazing back and shoulders?  Posture?  Hold those shoulders High!

If you are not a morning person It's OK!  Try it for a few days!  Make a routine, and after 3 to 4 days it will get easier! A tip that I do each morning is drink my lemon water and green tea before my workout!  It's so good for you and you will notice a change in your body the first day!

This is my morning routine and really helps with getting me up and ready to work out -done before sun!  Sipping my green tea is also a great time for My quiet time or personal development, then I'm ready to go!  I use the stove for my water because I don't use microwaves!  Way more nutrients the same amount of time--I put my water to boil while I prepare the rest.  I stop it right before boiling point and pour into my lemon mixture. Then I go brush my teeth while the tea sits for 5 minutes.  Why?? Because lemon juice erodes the enamel on your teeth!  Brush before! Plus you have fresh breath for your workout, wakes you up!
