Planning to Reach Your Fitness Goals....

Today I want to talk about planning and why it's so dang important.........
I've been staying on track with my workouts and healthy eating lately. I truly feel like planning is the key to MY success. I know for a fact that if I didn't plan out my workouts or meals, I would eat crap for lunch and skip workouts. On Sunday I usually plan out what I'm going to eat for the upcoming week and what days I'm going to workout. We cook all of our meals for the work week on Sunday. I'm telling you that a prepared meal comes in handy when you are running late for work. I am constantly running late....ALWAYS running late (don't judge me). Plus, I save so much money when I pack my lunch. I would say that WE spend about $80 bucks a week on groceries. That eighty bucks covers breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. When scheduling my workouts, I schedule my off days (I take two days off per week) on days when I know that I won't make it to the gym. Take tomorrow for instance, I'm taking it off from the gym because I have errands to run after work and I KNOW that it's unrealistic that I will workout after my errands.

If you want to lose weight, eat healthy, or gain muscle you have to plan out your life. You can't expect to make good decisions when you are choosing them on the fly. Nine times out of ten if you are hungry, you are going to eat the first thing that satisfies your hunger and I doubt that your starving ass is going to take the time to make a healthy decision. WHY? because you are hungry and hunger clouds the brain. I'm speaking from experience because I have committed the same crime so many times.
