Weekend Warrior

Everyone pat yourselves on the back for making it through another week!  The weekend it is here and although everyone loves the weekend, the weekends do not always love us.  Weeks are hard enough when you are trying to stay fit and healthy, but over the next 3 days you will have to deal with some temptations.  Think: birthdays, dinner parties, drinks with the girls.  Everyone uses the weekend to relax and wind down, but when you are trying to be fit it is important to try to still be active.  But everyone deserves a little R&R, so to deal with the next 3 nights of eating and drinking, step up your activity level during the week.  Try to push yourself during the week so you can enjoy yourself during the weekend.  Run that extra mile, walk on the treadmill at a higher incline, increase your exercise reps.  The harder you push yourself during the weekend, the less guilty you will feel about relaxing more during the weekend.  Also, be smart when you go out.  Drink low calorie drinks with water in-between each, and eat a healthy meal before you go out so you are not tempted to eat that big piece of chocolate cake.  Just remember, work hard during the week so you can play hard during the weekend!  Staying healthy is hard, but when you are smart it can be such easier!

First Post!

Good Afternoon Everyone and Welcome to My Blog!

I hope everyone is enjoying their Friday, even though the weather may have you down.  This is my first blog post on my new blog "Fit Friday."  Let me give you a little overview of what my blog will be about.  So it's Friday, the weekend is here, and everyone knows we tend to use the weekend to relax, do homework, and be a little lazy.  But it is a new year and I think it is important to use our weekends to our advantage.  So every Friday I will be posting a health tip whether it is a workout exercise, a healthy food idea, or even just an inspirational workout quote.  Health and fitness are very important to think about and sometimes it can be hard to stay healthy so I am here to help you.  This blog will be good for people who already workout and are healthy and just need some change in their life, and also for people looking to get in shape and get healthy.  So for my first blog post I would like to just start off with a simple quote that I like to read whenever I am feeling the struggle of trying to be healthy and fit:  "You are what you do, not what you say you'll do."  So stop waiting around and get out there and get fit!  Come visit this blog next Friday for some more fitness tips and ideas!  Enjoy your week, and remember that quote!
