It's throw back thursday, people! And I don't mean looking back way into the past...I mean throwback as to where you were at this time just within the past year! What were you doing? Where did you see your life going & did you have any goals-did you accomplish them?
Every day people make decisions..decisions which sometimes lead to a healthier life style..and why wouldn't they make those decisions!? Sticking to something can take a lot of work and it's okay to fall off the grid every now and then...no one is perfect. It's not about the fall..it's about you lifting yourself back up and getting back to your goals.
So, what were your goals last year? What are your goals for the next year?
ME? My goals last year were to get more toned, let myself have the things I want in moderation...be a better friend/girlfriend/daughter/mother figure...I have fallen but I have also picked myself up and I am happy about it.
This year my goals are to get to 125 lbs...get toned, learn new things about the kids and watch them grow and still be a good person to the people around me. I also would like to succeed further with my job/fitness.
Tell me about your goals! :) Comment below if interested! I can't wait to hear from you.

You are what you eat
I saw something today that made me realize what you eat really is important.
It was a quote from 21 day fix and it said..don't dig your grave with your own knife and fork"...
TRUE!
Eat. but eat healthy. You want to look your best? Choose wisely in the kitchen. Have a variety of colors! Fruits...veggies...lean meats...protein...yogurt...People think that eating healthy won't taste good. Those people are WRONG! :) Eating healthy does taste good you just have to be a little bit creative. But, hey...if you want a nice body, you have to work for it right? Go into the kitchen and prepare something. It's easy just to eat frozen food or go out and get fast food. How do you feel when you're done eating after that? Not well...and if you say awesome, I know that you're lying!
Whenever I eat unhealthy, I always feel tired/lazy/chunky. When I eat good, I feel good. My whole attitude changes-not just about myself but with everything else in my life. I find my self being a better coworker, girlfriend, family member etc.
Remember...you are what you eat; so don't be fast, cheap, easy or fake!

Do You Even Cardio!?
Cardio...Running...Sweating...Smiling.
I think I have a love/hate relationship with Cardio. Some days I feel like my feet hitting that concrete is the best feeling in the world. I feel like I could move mountains. Other days I feel like I am coming to the end of my run just as I am beginning it. Heavy breathing/tired.
What I like to look forward to is the feelin I get when I complete a work out. There is nothing better...well, almost nothing! I think...if you want to look good..if you want to FEEL good...you have to put a little work in. You want a butt? Squat! You want a strong tummy? Plank! Great arms? Lift!...
Incorporate a little bit of everything in and you will get results.
I am going to share a little recipe that I enjoy...so good!
Fish Tacos! :)
Grilled Tilapia - seasoned to your liking
Fresh Pico
Avacado
Hummus
LIME
tortillas
Oh, don't you dare forget the Lime! Do you hear what I'm saying!? I used to think limes weren't a big deal...and I'm here to tell you that they are! My life in the kitchen has changed ever since my wonderful man introduced me to the lime.
Another piece of information that I would like to share with you is the song I love listening to while I run right now! :) ... "Somebody To Love" - Queen. Oh, Yeah.

SUNDAYS!
Sundays..I have a love/hate relationship with them. No need to explain why haha. Today I had Yoga Fix and although it's not my favorite, you really do get a good stretch in! Active Recovery day!
So, I was reading Fitness Magazine today and stumbled upon something pretty shocking! The information I'm about to share with you is not my own, it's information I got from Fitness Magazine and their source says Center for Science in the Public Interest.
"2,780 calories in the Cheesecake Factory's Bruleed French Toast, one of the nine unhealthiest menu items in America! To make your own French toast (stuffed with strawberries and cream cheese!) for only 300 calories, go to fitnessmagazine/frenchtoast."
Now personally, I don't eat out a lot but I know a lot of people that just love the cheese cake factory! I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with the restaurant, but just take a closer look into what you're eating! You may be eating one mean that contains more than a lot of people's calorie intake per day! (or what it should be)
Let's eat healthy and be healthy together!

Making Excuses As To Why You Can't Workout
Everyone could get the body that they want.
All you need is hard work, dedication and excitement about what you're doing! (Which is easy because you'll just feel so good!)
I hear so many people say that they don't like the way they look and that they're going to start working out and eating healthier. A lot of times, however, this only lasts a few days to a week or so. I have been there! I know what it's like!
You may find yourself saying things like:
-I'm too tired
-I worked too long today
-I work too early/too late
-I have kids
-I'm sore
-I have plans
Whatever you can come up with...excuses. You're tired? Go to bed earlier! Get some zzzs! They're good for you! You work a lot? So do a lot of people...make the time! It'll improve your mood which will help improve your work ethic! Kids? Get them involved! Kids love being involved! And if they don't like it, don't make them! Its okay to have time to work on yourself while they entertain themselves for a little bit! Sore? Good! Stretch & strengthen! Plans? Work around them. You got this.
So tell me one thing...
A few days/weeks compared to your whole life isn't very much is it!? No! If you want something you've never had then you have to do something you've never done! This is a life change! And an amazing one may I add! :)
YOU WANT THIS. Why not give yourself this!? Fall in love with the process and the results will come. Don't put yourself down. YOU are enough! You can do anything you put your mind to!
If you don't take care of your body, where will you live?
Getting started is always hard...but that's the point. Pushing yourself. Finding out what your body is capable of..because it is capable of so much more than you know! It's your mind you have to convince.
Why not start?
Why not feel amazing?
Remember, a one hour workout is only 4% of your day. You don't find time...you make time.
All you need is hard work, dedication and excitement about what you're doing! (Which is easy because you'll just feel so good!)

what you do everyday matters more than what you do every once in a while
Hello, sunday! How is everyone doing? Great, I hope!
Today I'm going to talk a little bit about what some of my favorite workouts are within the different days through out 21 day fix.
If you're curious as to what the workouts are, you can google them in images and it'll show you how to do each one! :)
Total Body Cardio Fix:
Squat To Woodchop
Upper FIx:
Lat Pull Over
Lower Fix:
Calf Raises with 10 second hold at the end
Pilates:
Plank Series as a whole
Cardio Fix:
Burpees
Dirty 30:
Chest Fly Raise
Leave comments, I would love to hear what moves you like from your workouts!
One thing I love about 21 day fix is that it incorporates weights. I am feeling stronger everyday and I can feel my confidence going up!
Remember, what you eat is a huge part of working out and being healthy! What you eat will inspire your friends and family to eat better too! I just happen to be lucky...my boyfriend loves to cook and loves to eat everything so it's awesome! He cooks us very healthy different meals all of the time!
What is one of your favorite meals?
