Sunday is one of my favorite days. Getting up early to start planning my week and looking through my cookbooks and finding new recipes to try. I didn't do this in the past and I would wing it week by week but after working with my coach, I realized why I have been on a six month long plateau. Once I made the commitment to plan out my week and stop flying by the seat of my pants, the weight started coming off, my workouts were better and over all I just felt better. This way of thinking has flowed over into my everyday life and my business. I am far from perfect but everyday I give it my all. Here are a few tips to help you get started.
First look at last week and rate it. If there is a need for improvement find one area that you can work on.
Have a plan look at the week ahead and see what it looks like. Review all of your items related to work and family while also making a priority to schedule in your workouts.
Plan your meals for the week. They can be changed around from day to day but write it out and have a plan.
Go grocery shopping with the list of items you will need from your meal plan that you created.
Prep your food. Cut up veggies, prep meats and make ahead items such as rice. You can also put together some of your meals if you are crunched for time.
Before you decide this won't work for you, see the bigger picture. The bigger picture will ensure success in the smaller things you are tackling on a daily basis.

Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar Know to help relieve allergies Lowers blood pressure Reduces inflammation Helps relieve muscle pain from workouts Reduces inflammation Know to help dissolve kidney stones Know to help prevent sinus infection Helps prevent acid reflux Rich in enzymes to maintain a healthy gut Helps prevent arthritis Lowers levels of fatigue Lemon Juice: Another acid and works very similar to ACV. You can drink either one or mix both together. I mix them both together. Lemons contain Vitamin C… not a spectacularly high amount, but 30-50 mg per lemon. They also contain potassium. Drinking lemon water first thing in the morning gives the body a chance to absorb these vitamins effectively and can provide a little immune boost. Vitamin C is als
