Fitness Friday: Thank God for Warm Weather!

I’m telling you, envisioning myself in some of the swimsuits shared in last week’s post really motivated me to get ON my stuff! Blessedly the weather warmed up a bit this week and you know what that means? Back outside for FUN workouts! Tennis was on deck this week, I played three times and would have done more if I weren’t home in NJ. I’ve spoken about how difficult it was for me to stay motivated to workout during freezing temperatures; so to be back outside in the sunshine, doing what I enjoy to exercise – it’s like heaven, not to mention all the calories it burns…

Calories Burned after 4 Sets of Tennis!

Yes lawd! I never burn that much when I go to the gym on my own and spending two hours in the gym? Forget about it. I’m just not that girl and you know what? That’s okay. I’ve found what I love and will be doing from now until forever. Yes, I hit a bit of a slump when I couldn’t play tennis, swim or go bicycling due to inclement weather but I was still able to maintain my weight loss. This gave me the utmost confidence that once I reach my weight loss goal, I’ll easily be able to manage it for years to come.

I don’t know about you, but when I workout hard I don’t want to ruin it with a poor diet. And vice versa – when I wasn’t exercising as much, I indulged in more than a little bad food. For me, exercise and a good diet really do work hand in hand. Now that the weather has broken – hopefully for good, but I know better – I’m fully aware that summer is right around the corner. C’mon ladies, let’s continue to whip our bodies into shape so we’ll be proud to strut our stuff down the beach. We got this!

I’m not only enjoying your Fitness Friday posts, but I gain inspiration from hearing your fitness stories. Please continue to link up with myself, Britt of One & 20 and KLP of Saving our Strands each week and if you haven’t joined in, start now – by summer, we’ll all be posting our success stories!
