Monday is the first day of the work week, which means another chance to get ahead, accomplish things and get results.

Although some people might see Monday as the start to a long week, you can make the conscious choice to understand and use the first day of the week to propel you to success and more happiness. Monday should be a day to be enthusiastic and to appreciate how we are blessed to have another week and another day of life; no matter how awesome the weekend was.

While most people moan and groan about the end of the weekend, you can use Monday as a crucial moment of reflection and preparation in order to set the stage for a productive week.

Whichever memories you have from the weekend, say goodbye to them all and take advantage of the start of a new week. Need an extra jolt? Try these Monday motivation quotes to get you pumped up!

Hi Guys!!

Just hopping on here to give a little extra motivation as we start this new week!!

Speaking of a new week; it’s time to set new goals, meet new standards, push a step harder, and give this week your ALL!!

 

New goals mean you GET TO push harder, endure more, and accomplish what you thought you couldn’t.

Setting new goals at the beginning of a new week can be beneficial to motivating you to get in the gym once more during the week, adding 5 pounds to the bar, drinking more water throughout the day, making better food choices, and giving you something to work on by focusing on your goals. Make it a habit to set at least one new goal per week!!

 

Its time to take this week and make it your own!! Don’t let Monday drag you down, instead let it motivate you to work harder, do more, eat clean, and tackle this week!!

 

Be PROUD of where you are, you’re not where you started. Everyday you get up, you GET TO start over.

 

 

 

 

Work Hard. Eat Clean. Be Blessed!

“The scale can only give you a numerical reflection of your relationship with gravity. That’s it. It cannot measure beauty, talent, purpose, life force, possibility, strength, or love. Don’t give the scale more power than it has earned. Take note of the number, then get off the scale and live your life.”

—Dr. Steve Maraboli

IT’S TIME TO CELEBRATE NON-SCALE VICTORIES!!!! 

 

How to notice non-scale victories:

• More Energy: you might not be reaching for that other cup of coffee or maybe its drinking one less soda or caffeinated beverage a day

 

• More Reps: Benchmark WODs are the perfect thing to help you notice a difference in your performance; maybe you can do 10 burpees in a minute instead of 6!

 

• Willingness to Workout: Working out has now become part of your lifestyle, it is no longer a question of whether or not you’ll be working out today, its more of a which workout will I do today kind of thing. And thats why people think you’re crazy. 😛

 

• Better Mood, Attitude, Outlook, Mind.

 

• Healthier Choices: Anyone can work out for an hour, true strength is controlling what goes on your plate during the other twenty-three hours.

 

• Clothes fit more comfortably: There’s always that pile in the back of the closet that’s called the “it might fit again” pile. Let’s make this a GOAL pile instead, keep an outfit or two, maybe it’s one of your favorites from a year ago or even six months ago. Instead of stepping on the scale, put the outfit on. A little snug? you’ve got work to do. Doesn’t fit at all? you know where that snack cabinet is, clean it out. Fits better than it did before? Congrats, its time to clean out the closet, make a new GOAL pile, and get yourself a couple new outfits to feel like the BEST you in!

 

Don’t let the scale define your work. Be active. Be healthy. Be happy. 

6 ways to make WATER a habit!!

1. Drink a glass of water with each meal
2. Carry a water bottle with you throughout the day
3. Keep water on your desk at work
4. Feel like snacking?? Drink a glass of water instead!
5. Instead of coffee or soft drink, drink water for energy!
6. Track your water, record the number of glasses you drink in a day!!

The average person loses 90 oz of water everyday, be sure to fill up that water bottle as soon as you finish it & eat fruits and veggies with high water content.

Sometimes plain water can be boring, here are some combinations to give your water some natural taste:

• Cucumber & Lemon
• Strawberry & Lemon
• Blueberry & Orange
• Grapefruit & Rosemary
• Pear & Ginger
• Raspberry, Lime & Mango

Wonder how much water you should be drinking per day??

Divide your body weight in half, you should intake that many ounces or MORE per day!!

 

HAPPY DRINKING!! 🙂

Due to the CF Games, class will be held at 1pm instead of 3pm… 🙂
