Weekly Plan - August 4th - August 10th

I now have only 3 weeks until we leave and I am more determined than ever to make the most of this time. I need to be smart however and NOT over train so that I can be active and enjoy my vacation to its fullest! 

This weeks plan is a little different in that I will be giving myself a break from my longer cardio workouts and will be focused on strength training and core work. I want to shock my body this week , I want to awaken my metabolism and give my body a challenge different than what I have become accustomed to. 

My motivation for the week - 

"I shall shape my future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man's doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me. Or I can be lost in the maze. My choice. My responsbility. Win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny." -Anonymous

1. Wake up my body - morning 16 oz of water before eating

Ok, so this is the plan. Now it is up to me to get out there and MAKE IT HAPPEN!! I say we press on, stay strong and always remember to take it one day at a time. Forget about what happened last week, or last month and focus on what you can do TODAY to take you another step closer to your goal. You have been given a clean slate this morning - a chance to start over! Do not waste another second - get out there and LIVE UP TO YOUR POTENTIAL! !
