Newly Weds Tip 1 - Prep the week ahead

I am no expert at being a newly wed or having a marriage that is perfect! But I do have some tips to share with you, of things that work for my husband and I, being married only 4 months. Marriage is 100% commitment from both sides and 100% effort from both sides. I hate the saying a marriage is 50 - 50. Its not! Its 100% commitment, dedication, and effort from both sides!

Any who! I will get off that soap box and give you my first tip!

TIP #1 - Prepare for the week ahead! - What do I mean by that? My husband works fulltime outside of the house, where I am fortunate enough to be able to work from home or anywhere on the go!  We both get up early, him to get ready for work and for me to get my workout in before the day gets hectic!

When it comes to working out - I do not allow any one (right now because we are kid-less, I know it will change when we have kids) to interrupt my workout! I get 100% focused on my workout and do not want to be interrupted for stupid things. WELL lets just say our first month of marriage and LIVING with my parents (not ideal), I was interrupted several days in a row because my husband couldn't find the apples, or shake packets, or bars. So by the 3rd day in a row of being interrupted, getting mad at him, and then ending up in an argument before 7am in the morning was not ideal to me. Instead I took it upon myself to set up the week in advance for him. I laid out his 2 snacks and shakeology packet for the week, so that all he had to do was walk into the dining room and grab a set. After I did this, I showed it to him, which made his life easier and me a much happier wife the next day because he didn't interrupt my workout!

I know this might sound like common sense but it wasn't for us. We didn't think about these things before and they were the little things that were causing stress on our marriage. Setting out his meals for the week is easy and takes a matter of 5 minutes on a Sunday afternoon! He his much happier and so am I!

So if you are sick of being interrupted or asked where things are in the morning when you are trying to get ready yourself or workout or get the kids up, try this. It has made life so much simpler for the both of us.

Life s not a spectator Sport

 

 

Good Morning!

Life is not a spectator sport; it's a contact sport, and there are no practice sessions, and you've been in the game from day one.

Life is for sure a contact sport! You are always having things thrown at you, both good and bad. However it's how you handle those things that defines who you are and how you play the game!

Don't quit or give up because the game got to hard or didn't go the way you wanted it to. Keep going, relook at your plan and strategize a new one!

Remember do the thing and you shall have the power. The only way to have the power, to win the game, is to do the thing, learn by doing, and keep at it!

Whether you are winning or loosing, do it, play the game, get physical and strategize and plan for the ups and downs. But don't quit and don't walk away. Because then you will live with regret the rest of your life.

A Body in Motion

Good Morning! Happy Saturday!!!

A body at rest tends to stay at rest---and a body in motion tends to stay in motion.

That's why it is so important to be active!!! Once your in motion, it's easy to keep going and stick to the routine you set for yourself. Once you stop and get off track or routine it's hard to change from rest to motion again!

We all fall off track sometimes but if we allow ourselves to stay off track for more than a day or 2 we struggle to get back on. The longer we wait to get back on track the harder it is!

Can you get back on track? Yes!!! You can do anything you want! You just need to remember how you felt when you were on track and want it bad enough to get out of the funk!

 How? Just take one step at a time. Do one workout a day. Focus on one clean meal at a time and you will get back on track! Give yourself 7 days and you will see how within just week!

I believe in you and know YOU can do it!! So start today! Take the weekend to get back on track and make a plan!
