Good Monday Morning Fitness Fam! I am so excited because tomorrow we leave behind the snow for the sunny beaches of Florida! We are going to visit a friend that moved to Miami. This will be Ariana's second time to Florida, but her first time at the beach. I love vacation, but I also know that it can be easy to skip workouts and slack on clean eating. So, this vacation, my
My health and fitness is so important to me. I want to stay strong so I can swing my 30 pound daughter while she giggles with delight and carry her around when she wants to be held. I also want to set a healthy example for her. I want her to have a strong body image and confidence in herself. I also want to be around and be healthy as she grows up. So Ariana, my sweet daughter is my biggest "why". It is important to develop your WHY when it comes to your heath and fitness goals. My other why: get into the best shape of my life. Why now? Because I can! You truly have to commit to yourself and you can achieve what you set your mind to. Have you taken the time to develop your why? If not really think about it. Your why is what will get you up early to workout before you go to work, or to have your gym back packed to go on your way home from work. It will drive you to make better food choices and pack a meal, instead of getting a fast food "meal". You will learn to treat your body with respect, since you only get one, why not make it the best it can be. If you find your honest why, this will be your driving force to reach your goals. Make the time to decide your why or whys!
Lastly on this Monday I want to share with you a company called Chase Infinite which sells workout tanks with inspiring messages. Also $1 from each shirt sold goes to a specific charity. So $1 of shirts pictured above will go to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. I love the message that Strong Women Empower Women. It is important for us women to stick together and empower each other not cut each other down. There is so much cyber-bullying that happens on social media these days from women cutting each other down. This message reminds us to stand together as women! They have offered a 20% discount code to my readers. If you want to purchase this or any tank go to their website and use the offer code "fitness".
