And a few months later, the New Year honeymoon stage wears off and you are stuck in your same ol' routine and same ol' bad habits. It's kind of paralyzing, isn't it?? Girl, I am so sorry. I've been trapped in that twilight zone before and it's taken me years to finally find something that keeps me motivated and accountable.
I am not here to GUILT you into thinking you have a bad life. Bad health. Bad waistline. Bad habits.
I am here to GIFT you a solution that can simplify your goals to live healthier. Because I 100% believe that health & fitness is a catalyst for real life change. In order to reach your fullest potential, you must have a clear mind, a motivated spirit and a energized body. In the fitness groups I lead each month, we talk about how beauty starts from the INSIDE. As you increase your view of yourself & your purpose, that is the fuel you need get moving and treat your body with respect.
Do you want 2017 to be your year?
If you want something you've never had, you must do things you've never done.
Here are 4 Ways to get healthy in 2017 without breaking the bank:
- Choose the cheapest workout (that you will actually do!)
Some financial gurus will tell you to skip the gym membership altogether. But this doesn't work for everyone. Some people need the motivation and exercise plan.
If this is you, do some research. Some recent research I've done:
1. Monthly gym membership can range from $15 - $150
2. Gym classes (like barre) can be $20/month
3. Yoga classes can start as low as $25/month
4. Cheap DVDs like $5 Richard Simmons form 1970s... just kidding.
MY SUGGESTION:
Since we do live in the 21st century, let's act like it. There is a virtual gym membership called Beachbody On Demand (BOD) that is LESS that $10/month. BOD includes programs like P90X, Insanity, 21-Day Fix... as well as thousands of workout video options.
BOD also includes customized nutrition guides for each workout program you select... it comes with workout class schedules.... cooking shows.... daily challenges.... free workout gear when you finish each program.
It's pretty mind boggling. Any device. Anywhere. Any program. For $99 for 12 months.
Need the support & accountability of a class to attend? That is included too. With BOD, you get a free fitness coach who hosts monthly fitness challenges with daily check-ins, prizes, additional support/tips, etc.
Want the most bang for your buck in 2017? Get with the 21st century and use a personal Beachbody Coach and set some 30, 60 and 90 day goals by using BOD!
Don't already have a Beachbody Coach? I'd love to work with you. Scroll to bottom of blog for discount link.
2. Plan Your Meals
On the go? Right, aren't we all! Do you eat fast-food on a regular basis? It's probably not just because you love double cheeseburgers but that you are starving and lack a healthy meal plan.
Perhaps you eat at home most days and still lack the proper nutrients your body needs to make it through the week. A meal plan can save money by ensuring you actually use the groceries you buy (and you have food on hand when you're hungry).
How to meal plan?
- List weekly meals (your top 10-15 meals)
- Write down recipes so you know what you need for each meal
- Plan for the week (maybe a cute chalk board in the kitchen to write down "What's for dinner?"
Also, if you are like me and just want someone to tell you WHAT TO EAT (I lack creativity and don't naturally enjoy planning my every bite) - then SIMPLIFY your life and just follow a nutrition guide. You will learn about eating fresh, whole foods (on a budget), the right portions, eating at the right times of day, etc.
Follow Fixate on Beachbody On Demand for a quick live "How To" tutorial on how to shop, what to put in your pantry, video cooking tips for any occasion, etc. Don't make 2017 complicated. Be smart. Scroll to bottom of blog for link.
3. Cut out the crap!
This may sting a little because I am going to ask you to cut some bad habits. If you are on a tight budget and "can't afford healthy food," do you buy coffee at Starbucks a few times a week? Do you drink sodas? Vending machine snacks?
These $1-5 purchases on a daily basis (that provide no nutritional value whatsoever) are eating away your food budget.
If you need a quick fix, why don't you actually fuel your body with nutritious/filling foods. It's a mindset shift, I get it. No one WANTS to chew on a carrot stick when they could crunch on chips. I hear ya.
What if I told you that you could eat chocolate cookies every afternoon ALL-YEAR and LOST WEIGHT? What if I told you that you could drink a strawberry milkshake that has more nutritional value than 7 salads? What if you could drink an iced coffee each morning that had immune system boosting, cellulite fighting, and hydrating powers?
It's not a 2017 miracle. It's a magical non-GMO, no artificial flavor, no artificial color, no article sweetener shake that's been around for 7 years and has already changed hundreds of thousands of lives.
It's just $4 a day. No more empty calories. This delicious shake that can used as a meal replacement or a sugar-craving defense. I've been drinking it daily for almost 4 years.
4. Take your mental health seriously!
I know, I know. This seems unnecessary and spacey. According to MentalHealth.gov,
Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.If you think 2016 was stressful, then you'd be a fool to assume 2017 wouldn't have comparable obstacles. It's called life. The only reason LIFE get easier is because we mature and mentally recover quicker when we have a healthy mindset.
Then why do we think we can scrap by and think negatively? Or watch negative media? In order to GROW YOUR MIND ... you could read more. Listen to more audio books. Start your morning with a positive mindset. Listen to uplifting music. Meditate.
Here is a suggestion I have to help you conquer your mornings & mindset each day in 2017... read or listen to this book asap. Tell me what you think! Link to get this book for yourself.
