Start your week the night before by getting things packed up and ready to go. This will help to ensure you’re not racing out the door in the morning. It’s helpful to pack a lunch the night before if possible. It’s really a morning timesaver! Consider what you are going to wear in the morning. This might mean you need to do laundry. It could also help you beat the clock because you won’t be ironing at the last minute. Motivate yourself to leave early by stopping for your favorite breakfast or morning coffee, perhaps a cup of tea. Once the day has started, think about the plans you want to make for the remainder of the week. Maybe there is a new movie coming out, a set number of days that you want to hit the gym, or you want to meet up with a friend you haven’t seen in a while. Take the time early in the week to set things up to keep your week entertaining.
Every day provides us with a clean slate and a new opportunity. What healthy food options are available and how can exercise truly impact how we feel each day. Decide what choices you're making today to maintain a healthy lifestyle. All of posts are simply opinions and suggestions unless otherwise noted.

Goals.. we all have them, but what happens to them?
Oftentimes we are planning to do something but it never actually happens. Why is this?
Sometimes we get side-tracked with other obligations and lose perspective on what our goal(s) were in the first place!
It's not your goal that is the issue, it's the follow through. Like in the example above, it’s a wonderful thing to lose the weight and be healthy, but also important to do it in a healthy amount of time with a well balanced diet and exercise.
The goal sets the bar, and oftentimes people can reach it. It's what happens after the goal is met that tends to be the bigger concern. Determine ways that work for you to reach your goal, and surround yourself with people who will support you in maintaining it and living by it!

1. Start by being specific with your goal. What is it you want to do? Write it down- look at it and then put it aside. Once you've had a night to sleep on it, then go back to your goal, modify it and decide if you can make it even more specific.
2. Once you have outlined what you are going to do, it's necessary to create an action plan which you are held accountable for! Often times I hear, "I'm losing 10 pounds in one month because I need to fit into a dress and I'm going to live off of 1000 calories a day." My response- "You're Crazy!"
