Monday, Monday and the birds are chirping March 9, 2010

Monday Monday:

Happy Monday everyone.  Hope you had a nice weekend.

The weather here in Beantown has been spectacular, bright, sunny and a warm 60ish degrees.  The birds were even chirping.

It’s really amazing how much better I feel when the warm weather starts up after a long, cold grey winter.  Granted it’s still only early March and it’s still winter and for those of us who are native New Englanders it’s not safe to say Winter is over until about May.

I don’t know about you, but with the advent of nicer weather and the hope that I’ll be back in shorts, t-shirts and Teva’s in a couple of months, I feel re-invigorated in terms of reaching my physique goals.

For me what helps me stay on track is to constantly picture myself the way I want to look. Imagine how I will feel in a cute pair of shorts and cute top or better yet, imagine how good I’ll feel when I go shopping and try on a bikini.  If you’ve never tried this technique, I encourage you to try it.  Take a moment, close  your eyes and imagine yourself in the body you want.  Think about how you will feel, how your clothes will feel, even how your friends and family will comment on how fabulous you look.

It takes practice, but once you get into the habit, it can help especially when dealing with cravings or times when you don’t feel as in control.

It’s now early March.  There have been requests for updated pics, I will probably have them soon.

Until next time.

Be Well, Train Hard
