F2M2

The countdown has begun!  The end of summer is steadily approaching and we are all trying to get in that last bit of fun while shopping the back to school sales.  It's easy to get consumed by all the errands, the quick trips, forgot that, have to pick this up on the way home . . . and so on.  In between all this  - and I know there is no 'in between' unless you make it happen - please be sure to make time for yourself.  And I'm not talking about a pedicure, sister...;))
     It is so easy to take the easy road, particularly when life becomes hectic.   I realize the road you're on right now isn't necessarily 'easy' - but you know what I'm getting at.  Are you the type of person to make the extra effort to fit in your workout?  Or, are you the type of person who throws your hands in the air and convinces yourself that you can not fit in one more thing?  Do yourself a favor and make that extra effort!  Schedule time for you, call a friend for encouragement if you need to, and get in a good 45 minute workout.
     If your body is used to working out 4 or 5 times a week and you stop . . . you're body will slow down, and we all know playing catch-up isn't easy.  With 45 minutes of exercise - you keep your metabolism going, you feel more energetic, your skin gets the clarifying effects it needs, and you get the added bonus of stress relief!  Who doesn't need that?!  How much time do you spend driving back and forth between  stores and back again because you forgot something?  Time at the gym often gives us mental clarity, while we reduce our stress, we can think about our day and organize time more efficiently.  And at the end of the day, you will feel more relaxed . . . and you won't have that lingering guilt from a skipped workout.
     We all have a lot going on right now, just be sure you try your best to make that extra effort to fit in some exercise.  I realize it can't happen EVERY day, but it probably can most days...:))


Have a great week...:))
