A Year of Group Exercise!

This semester will mark my first complete year of teaching group exercise classes and turning into a health junkie / foodie!

This is my Katie friend and I earlier today at our group fitness meeting / demo this morning. It was hard to get up (late Saturday night) let me tell ya. 

It is an awesome feeling completing my group exercise certified through ACE, first aid and CPR certified through American Red Cross, and becoming Spinning certified through Mad Dogg this Saturday! 

I can't tell you it is a perfectly easy transition to a complete healthy lifestyle of eating right and exercising daily; there's always that little thing called life that happens. 

Whenever I feel like I haven't been putting in my best effort to myself and my body, there are a few tricks I like to do and really focus on until I get back on track to a place I want to be. 

#1. Drink water. Lots of it. If you are feeling hungry, drink a glass of water before having that snack. If you aren't a fan of pure water, I sometimes add drops of MIO or make a cup of tea in the microwave. 

Tea is AMAZINGGGG <3

#2. Load up on veggies, veggies, and more veggies. The more you can fit into your omelet, salad, and plate at dinner the better. Fruits and veggies work miracles. 

#3. Put post-it notes on your mirror, or where you want to see them most. Put up inspirational quotes to keep you on track or your specific goal you are trying to reach to. Just a little reminder for those tough moments!

Pretty soon the habits will stick and you will be a healthier and happier you! Scouts honor.
