#MotivationMonday Count Down to Memorial Day Weekend

May 16, 2016

We’ve reached the middle of May and the count down to Memorial Day Weekend has officially begun. Personally, it’s my favorite time of the year –  it’s the unofficial start of summer and, more importantly, it’s my birthday weekend! For many, this weekend is all about weekend getaways, board shorts and bikinis, cookouts, outdoor activities, and an all around good time. For me, I love to kick my workouts and clean eating in high gear…well, because, birthday cake and bubbly. It’s a physically motivating time of the year – the weather is perfect for a bike ride, beach run, paddle boarding or rollerblading. Aside from my normal workout routine in the gym and studio, I take every chance I get to feel an extra burn. With so many outdoor fitness opportunities, I want you to know that summer bodies can also be built in the summer! I’ll be posting some of my favorite exercises and meals on instagram for some added Memorial motivation. We’ve got two weeks until the long weekend, let’s make every day count!

To prepare for the week ahead I hit the grocery store hard to make sure I was stocked up. Here’s a list of what I took home:

• Spinach
• Bananas
• Pineapple
• Chicken Breasts
• Almond Milk
• Ground Beef
• Spaghetti Squash
• Sweet Potatoes
• Protein Bars
• Oats
• Quinoa
• Romaine
• Asparagus

Cheers to a healthy new week!
