Longest week ever! I seriously didn’t think Friday would ever come. To celebrate I treated myself with a killer workout this morning and now I’m enjoying a soy latte and raspberry scone. Since I shared my fitness success over the last year Tuesday and this week was the first full week of spring today’s 5-er is health inspired. Bikini season is two months away people! It’s time to kick it in high gear.
Here are five ways I stay dedicated to working out and living healthy.
one.
No Excuses. I set two alarms for morning workouts, workout before work, go to bed early and set clothes out the night before.

two.
Apps. We live on our smart phones so why not let them keep you motivated and on track. I use My Fitness Pal to track food/overall workouts and Run Keeper to track runs. Both keep me personally accountable.

three.
Workout clothes. I’m usually a sweaty hot mess when I’m working out so why not own awesome workout clothes. You don’t have to spend a fortune TJ Maxx, Target and Marshalls all carry great options. I’m personally a big fan of The North Face and own multiple pairs of the GTD Capri Tight.
four.
Make a Schedule. I schedule all my workouts. This goes back to accountability. Consider it a meeting for yourself — you time. I love my time in the morning. I’m able to clear my head, break a sweat and start the day off on the right foot.

five.
Have fun. Yes workouts should be hard, but fun. Mix up your routine. Take a new class. Workout with friends.
