My mind has been racing trying to figure out something to write about for this week – and the only thing that came to me is my reality these days . . . which is I am working hard so I can play hard. I’m just like you – there are days when I don’t think I can add one more thing to my task list or find one more ounce of energy to get through the rest of the day. And like you . . . I somehow find what I need to make it.
Whether it’s a much needed, and long awaited, night out with friends, or an upcoming vacation that has my attention – there is usually something that grabs my focus and helps me kick it up a notch and work even harder. And if I’m out with friends or on vacation, I want to have fun . . . that is not the time to calorie count. Now that’s not to say that I’m going to get out of control with my eating or drinking (even non-alcoholic beverages, people…:))) – but the goal is to have fun and enjoy your time.
You’ve heard me say it several times – in the gym, in the blog, and in the newsletter. If you’re going to play hard, you have to work hard! And chances are . . . because it’s summer . . . you’re going to play hard more often . . . I know I am…;)) Do yourself a favor and get to the gym each day or as often as you can, and work-out your hardest – no slacking! Then you will be prepared for those last minute get-togethers (and the planned ones too).
Do your best to conserve your calories to allow for the wine, drinks, snacks, etc. Then, when you’re out with your friends or family – have fun, but don’t go crazy. Keep your workouts consistent and you will be fine this summer! No regrets.
Have a good week!
