A recap of my weekly workouts from the previous week.

Happy Monday! After a fun and productive Saturday and a lazy Sunday, I’m ready to get shit done this week. I wasn’t planning on having a lazy Sunday, but I ended up drinking a little more than anticipated Saturday night. It was our friend’s 30th birthday and I was only planning on having one drink, but it turned into 4-5. And we didn’t get home until like 1:30am…so a lazy Sunday it was.

While I drink from time to time, I definitely don’t do it as often as I used to. I think alcohol can have a time and a place, but if you are focused on performing your best or maybe leaning out, you should consider cutting it out for some time. Not only does it add a lot of unwanted calories, it usually leads to poor decisions. Hello drunk eating, unhealthy food choices the next day, or just a lazy Sunday when you had intentions to go to the gym (like me). Over the past few months I have really limited my drinking to when I think it’s worth it. This has helped me tremendously with staying on track and helping me reach my fitness goals. I’m not saying you need to cut it out completely, but find a place where you make smart decisions about where to indulge and where you can skip the drinks and still have fun. It’s all about the balance!
