Set Yourself Up for Success

The weekend approaches, thank goodness!  It’s been a long week for me and in all honesty because of my work I’ve missed 2 gym days.  It’s crazy how much worse I feel when that happens, but I’ll just have to make them both up this weekend.

So how do you set yourself up for success?  We have 2 days to really prepare for the week and to launch our start of fitness success.  Take this time to go grocery shopping and plan and prep snacks and meals.  Get some fruit you like, get nuts, seeds, cranberries and raisins. Get some almond milk, yogurt, and bananas, and blend some smoothies together.  There are so many possibilities for snacks. Get veggies you like and cut the up into easy to grab snacks and put them in ziplocks.

Get turkey and chicken and pre-cook, then put it in containers, ready to heat up.  Saute some veggies, onion, bell pepper, broccoli, zucchini, spice it up with some lemon, pepper, salt, and garlic powder and olive oil.  Again put them in containers and store.

Ditch the sodas and buy bottles of water, or better yet, buy a nice 32 or 64 ounce water container you like and carry it with you throughout the day, not only will you be replacing sugary substitutes, but you’ll feel better, and may drop weight if you aren’t used to drinking just water.
