So as usual, I have a week or two that I usually slack on eating healthy and exercising, and it's discouraging when I hit that week that I want to do good, and be healthy, and I've gained all my weight back. It gets so frustrating! SO....I've decided to try a couple things out! There are a couple ideas I had to improve my consistency!
1. GET A WORKOUT BUDDY!
-Personally for me, I find that having someone there to push me, and to support me while I do my workouts is important. Otherwise, I find myself using excuses to get out of working out, claiming I have "better things to do" or that "I'm too tired", which brings me to my next point!
2. GET ENOUGH SLEEP! (7-8 HOURS)
- If you're like me, you like to stay up late and watch movies, and sleep in until it's full daylight outside. I've decided to pick a STRICT bedtime, and wake up at the SAME TIME every morning!
3. EAT A GOOD BREAKFAST! (Shakeology)
-If you know me, you know I sale the product "Shakeology". It's a good nutritious shake that gives you the healthiest meal you'll ever have! It comes in two flavors, Chocolate ( my personal favorite) and Greenberry, for those fruit lovers! You can add whatever you'd like to the shake! My favorite is, 2 bananas, 1 c. milk, ice, and the chocolate mix! It's SO good! But anyways, this shake not only provides me with a mouth watering breakfast, but sustenance for my stomach until lunch. It also decreases my wants for sugar, which is my weakness! Having it every morning although for me can make me sick of it haha, so I switch it up here and there from Breakfast to Lunch or dinner some days. It's a great meal if you're in a hurry, and you only have time to blend up a shake! It's so yummy too!
4. COUNT MY CALORIES!
-My mom bought this app on her itouch that lets her count her calories through out the day! It looked fabulous, so I'm going to download it and start counting! Watching my calories is important for the first few days because I will be able to see if I've been going over my suggested amount or if I'm good where I'm at. This will be a good thing to do!
5. EXERCISE 30-50 MIN. 5 DAYS A WEEK!
- I have programs that I've been doing and I absolutely love! I also sell these products, so if you're interested at all, let me know and I'll send you in the right direction! I personally do, INSANITY, and TURBO JAM. They are completely different, but that's why I love them! Insanity is filled with Insane cardio and insane moves that will get your body in the best shape ever! As for Turbo Jams, it's a fun way to workout for beginners! There is kick boxing, and dancing, and all sorts of fun things to do with Turbo Jam!

It will take you to ALL the different kinds we have, and trust me, there's one JUST FOR YOU in this selection, so be EXCITED!
6. BE POSITIVE!
-I don't know how many times I've looked in the mirror and just said, " I give up...it's too late to change that." Or, " Wow...I look terrible. oh well" The things I need to be focused on are my positive attributes and those will take me to success, not only with life, but with my own personal fitness, and health. Positive thinking does AMAZING things! Tell yourself: I CAN DO THIS, I CAN DO THIS, I CAN DO THIS, I CAN DO THIS, I CAN DO THIS 5 times to yourself or until you BELIEVE It! The possibilities are endless! The Sky is the limit!
7. LOVE
-I think showing other people LOVE or doing SERVICE for others really does something to your mind set. It makes you think, well if I can help someone, then I sure can help myself in being better for them. Do something for someone else!
8. SMILE!
-If you smiled all day long, I don't think you could be angry at all. Or if in a bad situation, you get angry and decide to smile, there's no way that argument could happen! Smiles avoid the angry moments, which is awesome! Also, if you were smiling while working out, then it sends endorphins into you and makes you feel SO MUCH BETTER!!!
-Well, I can't think of anymore, but if any of you have any ideas, let me know! I'd be so happy to try them out! Thanks again! And don't forget to visit my website at : www.beachbodycoach.com/teamelora
