Morning Drive
Many people will set goals and have high expectations when first starting out on their health and fitness journey. We all want to start seeing results IMMEDIATELY, but that’s never the case. This is one of the main reasons people will start slacking or quit going to the gym. Some will stay motivated and keep grinding, while others will say “I’ll get back into it in a couple of days.” There’s never a problem with having a rest day or two, but the “couple of days” can turn into weeks, then months, and next thing you know, you haven’t been to the gym in a year. The best way to stay motivated through out the week is by making sure you start EACH and EVERY day off with a positive attitude, while fueling your body with a healthy breakfast. When the mind and body are in sync, you can accomplish anything.
“Wellness is associated with happiness. When you’re happy, you’re feeling good in your mind and body. That ties into being healthy, eating well, and exercising regularly. It also ties into being excited about things – like getting up in the morning and having a healthy breakfast.”-Stella Maxwell (Model and Fitness Guru)
Breakfast is for Champions
There are two types of people when it comes to making/eating breakfast.
- The people who want to get the extra 20-30 minutes of sleep and run out the door w/ food in hand.
- The people who want to wake up much earlier to have time to make and enjoy their breakfast, while reading or watching some T.V.
Personally, I am the type 1 kind of guy. I enjoy getting extra sleep to keep me energized for the entire day at work. Majority of the time, I will make my breakfast the night before and bring it into the office with me.
