Work it Wednesday - 3 keys to overcoming those mid-week slumps.

Happy Work it Wednesday!  That’s my affectionate term for Wednesday’s.  Why?  It’s usually about mid-week when people tend to lose steam whatever goal they are working toward - whether it involves fitness, nutrition or anything else. But, there are some important things you can do to counteract that mid week, mid day, or mid month slump!

  1. CONSISTENCY - make it easy for yourself to stick to the plan.  That could mean having time blocked off on your calendar to work toward your goal, meals prepped ahead of time, or even having five fitness outfits clean and ready to pull from the closet at the beginning of each week.

  2. ACCOUNTABILITY - Whether it is a trainer or coach, a workout buddy or even a close friend or family member, find someone that will check in with you regularly and hold you to what you said you are going to do.  It is SO MUCH EASIER to reach a goal when others are aware and helping cheer you towards success!

  3. REWARDS - Lets face it, we are creatures of desire, and when there is a carrot dangling in front of us, we have just a little more determination to push through to the end.  Plan your rewards up ahead of time, and at regular intervals.  It could be a sweet treat, a massage, a new outfit, mani/pedi, whatever floats your boat.  Just make sure to remember to celebrate your success!
