Thanksgiving Is Over...


Appetizer
...So spend LESS time fretting about what you ate or how much you didn't work out. Hopefully you enjoyed time off with your family and friends, and now is the time to continue on your healthy lifestyle journey.

I know, I know...You were on a roll before the holidays. You were eating right and working out regularly. You may have even started to be able to maybe begin to almost zip up your favorite pair of jeans. Well, don't worry. All is not lost.

Main Course
Tips to get you back into the Café Physique "zone":

1) Get some new tunes. Even if you're not a big music buff, the right tunes can help jump start almost everyone's workout. Whenever you've taken time off and you need to get back into the routine, stop by itunes or your favorite music store and pick up some sounds that will inspire you.

2) Write down your goals. Yes, I know that you want to lose weight, but how much do you want to lose, when do you plan to lose it by, and how are you going to lose it? Yep, you've signed up for the St. Patty's Day marathon, and you want to be ready...but what exactly does "ready" mean? Do you want to beat your last time or do you just want to cross the finish line before the crew leaves? Choosing a measurable target will help keep you on track.

3) Take the first step...TODAY! Don't wait until next year, next month or even tomorrow. Make the decision to change your mindset and stop making excuses right now. Procrastination will certainly put a damper on your progress, so take a deep breath *inhale* *exhale* and make the commitment.

Dessert

Well ladies and gentlemen, I can officially say that I lost my mind the last few days. I didn't eat horribly, but I certainly ate much more and much, much worse than usual. Not only did my eating habits go south for Turkey Day, but my workouts went right along with them. Going into this holiday, I was definitely burnt out...both mentally and physically. So, I took a much needed break, and now I'm taking my own advice...getting ready to load the ipod up with Justin. He's going to help me "bring sexy back."
