I don’t know about you, but by mid-week, my motivation completely subsides, and I find myself in a hoodie on the couch with my hand in a bag of chips.  Every week I wonder why the motivation I had Sunday night doesn’t last the rest of the week.

So!  That’s it!  I’m putting my foot down.  It is officially beach/pool/patio/short shorts & bikini season, and I know I’m not the only one who wants to feel healthy, toned, and confident all summer long!

Think about it — in the summer we wear less clothing and lighter clothing.  To make up for it, we need to be eating less and choosing lighter options.  Most of the foods we eat in the winter are heavy, hearty, and comforting…while summertime recipes are refreshing, light, and don’t take as long to make or to eat.  Well, you are what you eat folks, so let’s join together in a challenge to be confident, sexy, and healthy all summer long!

Work It Wednesday

What to do: Every Wednesday, I challenge you to check in with yourself and get back on track.  No more comments like, “I’ll get back on the wagon after the weekend.”  This moment is your life.  So every Wednesday morning when you roll out of bed, I encourage you to take a moment to meditate on your health goals, step on the scale or take your measurements, and then commit to being 100% perfect in your diet, exercise routine, and mental health all day long!
I will be posting my progress every Wednesday, but would welcome any of you to email me if you need the accountability of having someone to check in with every Wednesday.

What to expect: Keep an eye out for summertime recipes, inspiration (i.e. photos of cute clothes & swimsuits, quotes & words of wisdom), fitness ideas, reminders.  I will be posting things all summer long, with the intent of keeping all of us in check and focused.  Also, expect to feel GOOD about yourself mid-week!  Don’t slip up on Tuesday, just to have a good day on Wednesday.  Because you’ll be weighing in or taking your measurements every week, your progress will be recognized.

What to focus on: Remember, you only have to be “perfect” for one day.  Does this mean you can’t eat out on Wednesdays?  Absolutely not.  You can eat out, but you have to order off the menu as if you’re Jillian Michaels.  What would she order?  Focus on being perfect on Wednesday, and naturally these good habits will carry into the rest of your week.

If you’re with me in this, let me know by clicking “Like” on this post.  Again, feel free to email me tomorrow morning if you want to kick this off with your starting weight/measurements/thoughts.  But if you’re up for this, then get serious, because this moment, this week, this YEAR is your LIFE!!!  Don’t let it pass you by!  And even if I’m the only one, I’m totally gonna work it on Wednesdays!

What’s up Summer!  This girl is ready for you!
