How Do You Find the Time?

I get asked frequently how I find the time to eat clean and workout. I always say that I MAKE the time. We all have the same 24 hours in a day and we are all busy these days right?? I also think that if I can do it, anyone can. You just have to decide to do it now matter what, make it a priority! Here are some quick tips: I workout 1st thing in the morning. I cook on the weekends for the week. I got my husband on board. I set goals and give myself rewards. I don't watch as much television as I used to. You can do this too!! No excuses right??

PiYo Update!

Hello :) Yes I know it has been a little while since I have written. It's been a crazy month!! I have been on 3 trips in the last month and realized this weekend the damage I have done! I didn't eat completely not clean while traveling but I could have done better. Anyway, that's water under the bridge. I am committing to starting the PiYo meal plan tomorrow and plan to reach my goals of having a leaner body!! I did not miss any PiYo workouts while traveling and I am still LOVING PiYo! I am so much more flexible and my arm and leg muscles are really getting to be more defined. I am sure my abs would be if I had eaten a little cleaner the last month. Tuesday marks Day 30 of PiYo and it is the halfway mark for the entire program! Not only am I seeing results, but so is my current PiYo Accountability Group! These ladies motivate me everyday with their busy schedules of working and being moms, yet they still find time to do PiYo and eat clean!! Their jeans are fitting b...
