Consistency

Consistency is one of the hardest things about obtaining our optimum health. It can be so easy to get sidetracked! This month, a friend was in the hospital for a week and I attended my grandpa's funeral out of state. (And I read a great new book!-that's another 3 days...) Sometimes, relationships are more important than a gym workout. However, I'm still trying to find ways to make my health a priority and to not put that on the sidelines too often. Sometimes I'd rather be social than work out, but unfortunately, that  translates into not being fit, either. Making healthy choices in any situation is really key.
Overall, in June, I finished half of my Phase 2 workouts. I feel like I've climbed this same mountain for months, so I'll definitely be finishing it up this month!! I also dived into some carb-laden treats from Trader Joe's to celebrate summer. But I'm starting to feel it on my waistline, and I don't want to undo all my hard work. It's good to have an occasional treat, but not six a day!
How's your summer going? Successes? Roadblocks? What are your goals for this summer?
I'm adding 30 minutes of cardio to my mornings to help get my metabolism going in the mornings. I'll keep you informed!
