GRUB ON-THE-GO

 

I've put my Paleo practice to the test

quite a few times already at multiple restaurants.

I'm sure most of you have either heard of

or visited these chains before : ) 

 

My experience was a lot easier than I had presumed!

 

When looking at the menu (BEFORE HAND: Always look at the menu before you decide/arrive to prepare yourself and have options already laid out), I knew I would not be able to order any type of "wrap" "burrito/taco" "crepe" "pancake" "BBQ" ...you get the point. My acquired plan of action became looking at the "ENTREE PLATE" sections along with side options and possible substitutes.

No Time To Workout

False. 

Have No Fear.. the INTERNET is here! yaayyy *audience claps*

I HATEEEE when people say they don’t have time to work out.

…..Yes you do. Use your head and be smart about it.

YouTube, Google, Instagram.. God’s gifts to earth. Look up cardio videos on YouTube, look up workouts on Google, get inspiring workouts from other fit freaks like us on Instagram. THERE’S A TON, trust me.

Today I had an hour to work out. Why waste time by driving to the gym? By the time I get there, I’d have 30 minutes to workout..feeling rushed and unsatisfied are the absolute worst workouts to have. 

On days like these, my living room IS my gym… 

 

Yes that is my laptop I’m struggling to see. But whatever gets the job done! 

Here are the four workouts I completed:

 

 

 

Those workouts were NO JOKE! 

 I got just as good a workout as I would have, had I gone to the gym. 

 

So class…what did we learn today???

  NO MORE EXCUSES! Get up and Do Something.
