Do YOU have balance in your life?

Hello everyone, I bet you have been wondering where are the weekly blogs on fitness and health? I would like to say that I have been pretty busy these last couple of months with mid terms, changing careers and also trying to finish the end of the semester with a bang. I am glad to say that while I have been busy with all of these tasks and duties I have continued to practice what I preach when it relates to fitness and health.

Today I would like to touch basis on balance. As we all should know this is very important in our everyday lives.I must admit I am still working on it when it relates to balancing out my work and school schedule but it is all a work in progress. Right? Balance is very important in our lives whether it relates to fitness and health or just being able to maintain a weekly schedule.

To be able to balance out your week when it relates to working out or eating habits you first must come up with a plan. For instance: I know that I have a busy week Monday through Friday with a few ours to spare here and there. In order for me to stay on top of my physical appearance I must use those hours in between my busy schedule to work out in the gym. At the beginning of each week I tell my self that this is how many days I will work out this week and I am so determined at sticking to it. For now I have set a schedule for three to five days a week. With basically three being the minimum and five at the maximum. As of right now my days are set for Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. With Tuesday and Sunday as off days. I try and strive for five days but as we all know things seem to come up without us planning and we are not able to meet those certain goals as planned. But my theory to this is as long as I get atleast three of those five days in, I have reached the minimum of my work out schedule. Which is very good given that I am already juggling, work, school and other activities.

So you must be wondering how do you balance when it comes to eating habits. This first starts with what you have at home in your cabinets and fridge and also what you purchase from the grocery store. In order to balance what you eat make sure that you are eating more beneficial foods rather than just a lot of junk food and carbs. Be sure to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner with a couple of snacks added if desired. Sometimes in our busiest weeks we can either forget to eat and skip a meal or if we work in a office settting we may over eat. Trying to avoid these situations can be difficult but anything is possible when you have balance.

Balance is very important as mentioned above with our work and school schedules and also our fitness and eating habits. I've learned that balancing out your life has great outcomes and a feeling of completion.

I hope that you all have learned a lot from this blog on how YOU too can balance your lives!!

One Love <3
