Get 'thinspired'

Do not work out because you hate your body, work out because you love it.

This is a piece of advice that I like to live by.  It is simple and short, but it gets to the point.  It is important to love your body, and know that is why you workout and keep it healthy.  It is not always about having a 6 pack, and having big muscles.  It is important to be health on the inside, and have a health mind.  Live by these words and hopefully that will motivate you to keep on going and stay healthy!

Have a Happy Friday, and a wonderful weekend/week ahead!

Sunday Motivation

Happy Sunday!

I decided not to post on Friday this week so I can give a little motivation on this Sunday afternoon.  Tomorrow ins Monday and I do not think anyone actually enjoys this day of the week.  That is why it is important to take this Sunday to relax and prepare yourself for the next week to come.  Start the week off right tomorrow by working out and eating healthy.  I know whenever I start the week off well, I usually finish it on a good note also.  If I have a bad Monday, that usually sets me up for a bad week.  My advice to you is to wake up tomorrow morning, go about your daily routine, but make sure you fit in a good workout.  This will make your day even better, or if you are having a bad Monday, hopefully it will make your day a little better!  Trust me, if you start the week off good tomorrow, your week will probably go well.  Have a wonderful week and check back in next Friday for some more motivational words on how to stay healthy and happy!  

Valentines Day Tip

So we all know tomorrow is Valentine's Day and that means lots and lots of chocolate, which is my favorite part about this holiday.  But we all known that milk chocolate is not the healthiest treat.  That is why you should stick to dark chocolate during this V-day.  Here are some facts about milk chocolate vs. dark chocolate:

Half a bar of dark chocolate has fewer carbs compared to half a bar of milk chocolate.  Dark chocolate also has half the sugar, four times the fiber, more iron levels, and more caffeine (which may be bad for some, but for me that is a plus).

It is clearly no secret that dark chocolate is healthier for you, and it has been very prominent in the news lately.  So whether someone else is buying you chocolate or you are buying yourself chocolate on this Valentine's Day, remember to stick to dark chocolate to stay  bit healthier.  Also, keep up the healthy eating and daily exercise during the week!

Enjoy the weekend everyone!

TGIF, Enjoy It

TGIF

I don't know about you, but his has been a long week!  MY parents are in town, I am sore from my workouts, so I am going to use this weekend for a little R&R and I expect you all to do the same.  Now that does not mean go out and binge eat at Cookout.  Remember to eat smart, but also remember to enjoy yourself this weekend!  Next week we will continue our decisions, but this weekend you have permission to enjoy yourself!

Until Next Friday...
