TIP OF THE DAY: Use the rewards system to push through days when you are lacking motivation. Confession – I did NOT want to go to the gym today, and I especially did not want to do legs today; I contemplated switching from legs to shoulders or pushing my workout off until later tonight, but instead I used the rewards system. No, I am not talking about working out then eating at McDonalds. Pick something to do as a reward after working out. For instance, my boyfriend and I are going on an afternoon/evening trip about an hour away to do some shopping and go out for dinner (today happens to be my cheat meal day); for you it might be going to the mall, a bookstore, a friend’s house, getting a mani/pedi, etc. When you have something to look forward to after working out, it makes getting off you butt and out of the house a lot easier. Plus, we all deserve to enjoy life 🙂
I hope you all have a wonderful, fun, and relaxing Saturday dolls! Steer clear of those sugary drinks & liquid calories this weekend; find ways to have fun in a healthy way!
