SET YOUR WEEK UP FOR WEIGHT LOSS &/OR FITNESS SUCCESS!
• Schedule your workouts – actual days and times
• Get your drinks and food ready
• Get your workout cloths and/or workout bag ready

SCHEDULE YOUR WORKOUTS:
Start by scheduling your workouts (pick specific days and times) on
your calendar for the whole week. For example, if you are following
my daily fitness missions, than you would schedule 30 minute
Interval Workouts (or if you are just getting started than 10
minutes is great) on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and then schedule
6 to 24 minutes (depending upon where you are in your journey) No
Excuses Workouts on Tuesday and Thursday.

GET YOUR DRINKS AND FOOD READY:
Every night, I fill up two water bottles (20 ounces each - for my
next days' workout) and two 32 ounce bottles of water. I put them
all in a shopping bag along with healthy snacks (examples: banana,
granola bar, Clif Bar, pretzels, nuts, etc.) for my mid-morning
and mid-afternoon snacks.

I also make my lunch and put that in the fridge. Making my lunch
ensures that I eat something healthy, have a normal portion size
(most restaurant portions are 1.5 to 2 times what you need) and it
also helps me save money.

GET YOUR WORKOUT CLOTHS AND/OR WORKOUT BAG READY:
I make sure to put my workout cloths and sneakers in my workout bag
every night as well. So in the morning, both bags are next to the
door and I just need to put my lunch in and put the bags in my car
and I am ready to go for the day.

THIS ROUTINE COULD BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU REACHING YOUR
FITNESS AND/OR WEIGHT LOSS GOALS OR YOU GIVING UP.

I want you to start building setting up your food, fluids and
workout gear into your nightly routine so that you don't have to
hassle with it in the morning. This is especially important for you
if you are a Mom, because once your kids are up in the morning and
things start getting crazy, getting ready for your workout can seem
like a major hassle and can lead to you blowing it off.

I would rather sit and relax at night than make my workout drinks,
make my lunch and put together my workout gear. But it is now part
of my routine and it sets me up for success for the next day.

Please start building these routines into your evening routine
and you will be pleasantly surprised how much this helps you stay
consistent with your workouts.

Take care,
