Tomorrow is THANKSGIVING already!!! I can hardly believe that another year has flown by and we are approaching one of my most favorite times of the year! There is always a mad dash of things to do, to get done, to buy, to make, etc!! It's been so hectic that it would totally be acceptable to not workout or plan out my meals...RIGHT?!! Well, the previous me would of chucked my workout in a heart beat and relied on caffeine and drive thru food to make it thru a busy week. Now my non negotiable is my workout and my meal planning because that is my "me" time and trust me, if I don't workout I am not going to be a nice mommy!
Not at all!!! #fitmom means that you value your health and that you want to not only be the best example you can be but you want to be around long enough to teach your kids that example as well! Your kids follow your lead , so if you want healthy kids lead by example! You don't have to have a perfect 6 pack to be a good example, instead teach your kids the importance of regular exercise and healthy vs unhealthy choices! My kids tell me all the time what healthy choices are! #notselfish #smart
Be a #fitfam #leadbyexample and set your family up for success! It starts with you!!!! #turbofire #hiit25 #pushplay #gotime
So this week I am committing to continuing to be that fit mom despite the million different responsibilities.
I whipped up my meal plan!
Here are my thoughts! So I can workout every day this week. We are traveling to my in laws for a few days. So I will get up early and do my workout at my normal time so I don't disturb the rest of the family. Then, I will have my oatmeal for breakfast, my apple and almonds for snack, then lunch/dinner is our feast! I will have my shakeology in the evening to help my belly deflate!
What am I eating on Thanksgiving: Turkey, stuffing,mashed potatoes, a TINY bit of gravy, green beans, roll (YES love rolls) and a side salad! Then of course I will have dessert, but I will be mindful! I will pick something that I LOVE and not eat something just because it is there!! I am going to enjoy, but of course in moderation, not over stuffed and no guilt.
Remember to eat breakfast on Thanksgiving- one of the biggest myth is that you will just not eat and save up all your calories for dinner and be ok! It won't be! Your body needs food when you wake up to jump start your metabolism and wake up your body.
Like your wine- I love wine and that is my biggest downfall! But the one thing I have learned is I can have wine and still feel good! So my rule of thumb is to stay hydrated. For every glass of wine that you drink have 1 full glass of water!! Stay hydrated.
Now Thanksgiving doesn't roll over into Friday, Saturday and Sunday either! I am back on track Friday morning with a killer long cardio workout to just burn it off and I may switch up up and have Shakeology for breakfast.
I am actually doing T25 this week- i have body beast in there, but I scratched that!! It's all about the cardio and prepping for Insanity Max 30 coming out next week!! Bring on the fat blasting!!!
Every day we wake up and are faced with 2 choices. The choice to face our FEARS or the choice to remain the same.
Facing your fears is definitely the harder route, it's the road less traveled and it's the road that when taken leads to failure but also leads to success. It's the road that takes time, that isn't a quick fix, that doesn't make you rich tomorrow or skinny in an hour. It's the road that leads to personal growth, lifelong health and fulfillment.
There is a reason why the finish line isn't crowded. It's because most people don't have the vision of the possibilities instead all they can see is how hard it will be to get there!
So as you start this week, be a visionary, be a dreamer but most importantly be a DOER!!! You can see that finish line off in the distance, now imagine what it feels like to cross it?! NOW LETS GET TO WORK!

I didn't always eat clean and I certainly didn't always exercise. It wasn't until I was feeling worn down, tired and my muffin top was rearing its ugly head that I decided I needed to change.
I wasn't perfect when I started, I made bad food choices, I beat myself up over it, I weighed myself to many times a day and I cried because it wasn't coming off fast enough. But just because I didn't see the immediate results doesn't mean I gave up! I continued to focus on improving my health, the quality of the foods I ate, the pairing of the right foods and proper portion size! I exercised regularly and pushed thru the ups and downs! Now what once was a struggle is now a habit and a part of who I am!
Trust me, you can make a healthy lifestyle a habit to!
Sneak peak into a typical day of clean eating! I eat a lot of food and I eat often! PS I LOVE TO EAT! I have energy and I never diet!!!
Strive for the right balance for you!!!!
Have a Healthy and Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
