How Do You Handle Cheat Days?

How were your holidays? For me they were enjoyable in every aspect. Family, friends and of course food.

Holidays for many are “cheat days”. We, meaning me and so many go off the grid and eat the holiday foods we crave. For me it begins with Thanksgiving, this year I was able to control my cravings.

I contribute this to my healthy daily shake, #shakeology.  Shakeology works for me , and I know others have a nutritional shake that works for them. If it works continue with it as some of us require assistance to cut unhealthy cravings to keep us healthy with the nutrients to support our immune system, GI, pro and prebiotic.

I forced myself to eat a bit more for a few days during Christmas and my workouts were a struggle. I refused to repeat this for New Years. I know the food is different but the effects especially with alcohol.

I stayed focused not just because of recovering from Christmas but my history. I know I have in previous years made an excuse not to return to my workouts, continue to eat whatever until my clothes become snug or no longer fit.

Now I take control and if I feel I have intoxicated my body too much with foods giving me that sluggish feeling I  have a helper. A Cleanse,# 3 day Cleanse. Yes in a few days I am revived.

I recommend a cleanse to get your body back in sync to get your workout on. Choose your cleanse for result and effectiveness.

Strength Resides in YOU

Setting goals for the New Year, can be a challenge. The challenge however is with you, with me. It is necessary to know what your goal(s) are.   I am speaking of nutrition and workouts, they are a team.

It is always necessary to write your goal(s) down, be realistic. Slow steps then gradually increase those steps. Setting unrealistic goals can deter your goals and many people will give up. Will this be you.

To begin-YOU MUST BELIEVE TO ACHIEVE.

Then go get it. Choose a workout program that will complement you and your goals.

Fitness Is About You

I now really love fitness. It took a minute or two to find out what works for me and how to make it work for me. I am focused on for me. Simply because…..

I have heard and am sure so many have also these very words, ” are you sure you can do that looks hard”,  or ” you may be a bit too old for that” how about  ” you may want to lose a few pounds before you start”.

It is up to YOU to begin, allowing others to use their excuse to stop you should never happen. There are so many at home workouts just for you. Yes for you.  It is not your age,your current level of activity. It is about you creating your fitness.

I had a fabulous workout today, I danced #Country Heat and fun with sweat a mixed martial art #Core de Force.20161223_173404
