Happy Monday!

Here it is Monday morning again.  Many of us are back to square one with our eating and work out habits.  Why is that?  Usually it is because the weekends are a break from the norm.  We feel free and relaxed and therefore our good habits become free and relaxed too.  While I am all about having a treat and relaxing, being back at square one on Monday morning is not the best feeling.  I used to do it all of the time.  I would  wake up feeling guilty about all the "fun" I had and realize it maybe wasn't worth it.  It has taken me years to learn the value of balance, with my nutrition, especially.  I was an "all or nothing" kind of gal.  Meaning that on the days I was eating healthy, I followed my plan to the letter.  But....on the days that I didn't plan or messed up, I would totally throw in the towel and just eat anything and everything.  I would get so frustrated with my self.  I would work so hard during my workout and then feel terrible at the end of the day because I totally threw off my nutrition.

 Well, for the last two years I have been saying that my diet would be all about finding a balance.  It has taken me that long to get it right.  Do I still have treats and comfort food, yes.  But one treat is no longer a pass for me to eat that way the whole day, or week, or month.  It is just that, as treat.  Now this past weekend was my birthday.  I have to say that I did in fact treat myself....quite a bit!  Do I feel guilty about it?  No, because besides the treats that I indulged in, I was eating healthy the rest of the time.  I have a coach and challenge group that is here this Monday morning with a plan of action.  That plan is to get the workouts done and stick to our meal plans that we made over the weekend.  Is there a possibility to slip up?  Sure, but we build each other up and move on.  No guilt, no beating ourselves up.  Just determination to make today a better day.   I woke up this morning with my game face on and ready for a new day and a new week to eat right and work out, just as planned.  Is it balance you struggle with?  My challenge group starts in 1 week. June 23.  Let me help you find your balance.  Message me for more information.
