First, make a plan to still hit the gym. With weekend get aways, sangria and late nights calling your name, it's important to keep your commitment to the staying in shape. Get up earlier and enjoy the run rise as you jog along the seawall. We do live in the most beautiful city where you can do the Grouse Grind or yoga in the park. Just make sure you schedule in time to sweat and get your heart rate up.
Another great thing about summer is the fruit but naturally it has a lot of sugar. I love pineapple, watermelon and all those delicious tropical fruits as much as the next person but eating them in moderation is important. Try having 1 to 2 servings a day or enjoy as and after dinner treat. I personally love adding fruit in with my Vega smoothies because I know I am getting all the nutrients my body needs which helps keep my energy levels up on those long summer nights.
The most important tip I can give you is to make fitness fun. Nobody said you had to be locked up inside to stay in shape. Grab a few girlfriends and try a boot camp or plan your own workouts and do them as a group. This will help you stay motivated with your fitness regime and catch rays at the same time.
Now that your armed with some new tips, think of today as your fresh start. No more, i'll start tomorrow's. Start today but printing off a calendar and committing to working out 2 to 3 times a week and eating clean Monday to Friday and allowing yourself 2 treat meals on the weekend.
I strongly believe that life is all about moderation and that if you are organized and prepared you will be able to reach your goals of looking great in your itsy-bitsy. Fitness should be fun and something you do year round, not just part-time. That's all for now but maybe I'll pass you on the seawall or see you at a boot camp. Yours in health and fitness,
Nicole
