It's Sunday and I'm getting back on track today 💪🏼 I had mentioned in a previous post that August is a month for me that's more difficult to stay on track because of family visiting and birthdays, but I enjoyed myself and don't feel like I went overboard (most days lol). You can still enjoy foods you like, just keep portion sizes under control. Just because you're not completely on your usual routine doesn't mean your progress has to be completely ruined! I am happy to be back to my regular routine though because I would like to tighten up a tiny bit, but that will naturally come with time since I'll be back to what I normally do diet wise 🤗 - - www.lauramichellefitness.com for my 6 week #fit6 program, meal plans, and customized programs

Surround yourself with positive, like minded people. The first couple years of my fitness journey, I always saw people saying that, but I never knew how to make it happen. You can't just put up an ad asking for people who are driven and dedicated to come to you. I didn't have a fitness related job at the time, and I wasn't in school for fitness related things so besides my Mom who will support me in anything I do, I didn't have many other people. I stuck to my goals anyways, even if I didn't have many who understood. I decided that it was my life and my happiness, so I didn't care if anyone got it. I knew what I had to do to get where I wanted to be, and those who didn't get it didn't matter. It's been a few years now and I still keep my circle small, but it's been my actions that have attracted the right people. I don't worry about naysayers who don't get why I do what I do. I push through with tunnel vision, remembering what makes me happiest. The wrong people will come and go, but the right people will stick. I have the most amazing, supportive mom, boyfriend and best friend that anyone could ever have. Keep your actions and dreams big. Don't downsize them for small people ✌🏼️- - www.lauramichellefitness.com for 30% off my #fit6 6 week program (at Bay Front Park Hamilton)

I've been trying to get outside more often for my cardio, because I find it clears my head and relieves stress more than when I'm indoors. Stress is hard to avoid in life, but do your best to find things that help you to relax your mind because there are a lot of negative physical affects from stress. Every time you do something that stresses your body, it activates the nervous system which increases adrenaline and cortisol. This isn't necessarily bad, but when it is happening numerous times a day you can start running into problems. For example- fat gain. High cortisol increases blood glucose from muscle protein, which increases insulin and causes you to be more insulin resistant (insulin is a hormone that helps us absorb nutrients from our food). The result of this is more fat gain, and more difficulty burning it off 🙅🏼 So how do we prevent unnecessary stress on the body?. . •make sure you're not overeating or under eating as this is an added physical stress •have a diet full of omega 3 fats, fruits, veggies •start taking vitamin D3, it is a common nutrient deficiency and boosts your mood •go for walks, do yoga, meditate, journal, get a massage, listen to relaxing music . . Don't sweat the small things. Breathe. Find some time to relax when possible. Reaching your fitness goals is definitely more difficult when you're under a lot of stress, so do your best to minimize it when you can. I am someone who overthinks and stresses very easily, so I understand it's easier said than done. But I've found that over time it does get a little easier to control. 🤗 . . www.lauramichellefitness.com for my 6 week #fit6 program
