2018

Last Monday was January 1st, however most people I know were still on holiday mode and officially started their “new years resolutions” today!

So if you started working towards those fitness goals today, feeling that holiday bloat, this post is for you! I for one went up exactly 8.8 lbs last month..oops! Already dropped 4.6, working on that last bit to get back to normal this week. How did I do this without cutting calories drastically?

I typically drink 1 gallon of water a day because that’s what my body asks for. During the holidays however, I felt myself getting dehydrated because I was barely hitting half a gallon of water a day. So this passed week I over did the water with 2 gallons every day. Flavored it with lemon because blehhh I need flavor in my life. Peed my life away, got re-energized, got rid of a lot of the bloat! This week I am back to my regular 1 gallon a day
I worked out!!
I cut out all the processed junk and ridiculous amounts of sugar. Basically went back to my whole foods, healthy diet. Overdosed on antioxidants (fruits and veggies galore).
I caught up on my sleep. Ironically, I didn’t get much rest during the holidays. Catching up on sleep helps reduce internal stress levels. When your body is less stressed it’s more inclined to get rid of weight.
Started my 21 Day Cleanse

Was the 8.8 lbs all fat? Definitely not! Last week the weight was honestly just bloat, water retention, backed up plumbing. The weight I tackle this week to get back to my normal weight is more than likely going to contain some fat, and therefore may not come off as quickly.

Good Luck with the post holiday de-bloating and remember I am always here to help you!

31 days of neglecting my blog and just feeling a massive blog plateau. Last night I got hit with tons of new topics to start off 2018, which I am so excited to write in these upcoming weeks.

With the start of 2018, comes the mass resolution hysteria, for many they have already given up 6 days into the new year. Why? They verbally say the big goal out loud without actually breaking down the steps and creating the action plan needed to reach those goals.

In 2016, I wrote down my goals and how I was going to achieve them and put them by my door so that I would be reminded every day that I was working towards achieving them. That year I was able to cross off 90% of the goals. In 2017, I did the same thing only I did not place them somewhere I would see them every day and sadly, only hit 45% of my goals. HUGE difference!

So this year I broke my goals down into the following categories: Fitness, Business, Personal, and Social Media.
I then took green, yellow, pink, and orange flash cards and cut each color in half.
Next I wrote down the main goal on the flash cards along with step by steps needed to reach that goal
I found a spot on my wall that I see every day when I wake up and go to bed and taped each flash card so I am constantly looking at them and reviewing them.
As I reach those goals I plan on tearing off the flash card and sticking it in my drawer.
The ultimate goal of course: An empty wall by December 31, 2018.

Resolution is making the firm decision to do something, yet so many of us fall short. This is because we get lost in the hype and forget to get down and dirty by creating the plan of action. I hope you have not started losing motivation to chase those 2018 goals by creating an action plan, placing it somewhere you see them every day, and GO AFTER IT!
