There are no shortcuts to reaching your goals

Set your goals and do what you can to reach them

Start Small:

Set small goals that you can achieve each day of the week.

Take things day by day…week by week…month by month.

One week will fade to the next and before you know it months will pass and you will be closer to reaching your goals.

These small goals should lead to your overall big goal.

Stay on track and be patient!

…Weekend Workouts & Meal Planning…

My clients say that they slack off the most during the weekend.

After a long hard week all most people want to do is relax and enjoy some good unhealthy foods.  This is OK as long as you enjoy some good food in moderation AND you still stick to your workout plans.

Reaching your health and fitness goals does not mean that you have to give up your favorite foods or miss out on quality time with your family and friends on the weekends.  This is when you HAVE to learn how to balance your life so you can accommodate your goals as well as the other things that are going on.

Key tips to sticking with your workouts on the weekends:

  • Sure you want to sleep in! Sure you want to be lazy and stay in bed all day.  But these things will not help you reach your goals!  The truth is you should probably get up and get your workout done first thing in the morning.  Even if you get to sleep in just a little bit, still find motivation to get up and get it done.  This will allow you to get it done and have the rest of the day to lounge around or get other things done!
  • If you like sleeping in, that is OK!  Plan another time later in the day that you can set aside to get your workout done.  Get in the routine of having your workout during the weekend around the same time.  Getting into this routine will help you to keep up with your workout schedule.
  • Try to find ways to incorporate the family or your friends!  Get up and get fit with them!  Find activities that you all can do.  They can also help keep you accountable for getting your workout done.

Eating healthy is also a hard task for some people.  BUT it should be EASIER on the weekends!
For those who are usually super busy during the week, you can utilize your extra weekend time to cook and prepare meals for you (and your family if you have one) for the whole week!

I personally use Sunday as my day to cook and prepare all of my meals.  I will head to the store on Friday or Saturday to get everything I need.  And Sunday morning after my workouts I will come home and cook all of my food.  It seriously only takes me about 90 minutes to cook ALL of my food for the next 7-10 days.  YES THAT IS ALL IT TAKES!

Once you make a plan and get into a routine it is easy to keep it going.
