Diet: Stay Focused During The Week

During the week (mon-fri) you are bound by work, responsibilities, and appointments.  On the weekend (friday night and Saturday) you cut lose to shake off the week's aggravations and treat yourself to some fun to reward yourself for a job well done.  Sunday you recover and begin gearing yourself up for the upcoming week.
Your diet should be treated the same way.  Monday through Friday you should be disciplined wih your food choices, sticking to healthy eating habits, and being responsible for your calorie intake.  Since your already in the mindset for the work week, might as well do the same with your nutrition.  When Friday night and Saturday come, feel free to treat yourself to some liquid calories or some of your favorite foods.  On Sunday you will feel a little guilty, but that's ok because you know you will be dilligent once again when the week starts. 
Keep in mind you will not do this everyweekend and that for most people maintaining a healthy diet during the week is a huge step in the right direction!

No Exceptions, No Excuses, Be Accountable

Do You Look For Loop Holes????

Why is it that every time someone asks me for a diet or workout plan the first questions they ask me is “when is my day’s off?”, “how many cheat meals do I get?”, or my favorite “I have to have (insert any bad food here) or I’ll die!”.   I am even guilty of trying to find loop wholes in everyday activities.  Have we become that lazy?  Have we lost our sense of accepting responsibility and finishing something we started?  I would like to think no for the majority of us.  Most people just need a swift kick in the a#$ and a motivational reminder to stop making excuses, get motivated, and do what you are supposed to be doing!
If you are reading this and are thinking to yourself “I do this sometimes” then here’s you’re a#$ kick and reminder to stop looking for the easy way out, and start being the person you know you can be. 
GET OUT, BE ACTIVE, WORK HARD, LIVE LIFE!!!  NO EXCUSES
