Fitness

I have some life/career events coming up in my life soon.  I'm not going to disclose what...yet but I need to be in the best shape of my life in the next 6-8 months. I have been doing a lot of research and having a lot of conversations with health and fitness coaches to make a plan that works for me. This isn't a post about how to get shredded or bulk or cut. This is a post about health and how knowledge is power. 

Planning is key. Planning your meals, and planning your workouts. I have been in the gym a million times. I was a college athlete, I thought I knew what I needed to do. I was wrong. I wasn't planning, I was going in doing a little cardio and lifting heavy. I was doing the same things and I get bored.  After I've started planning my workouts, not only do I not get bored but I'm getting more out of the time I'm spending in the gym.  I meal prep with my girlfriend and I track my macros. I've lost about 10 pounds in the last month. More importantly, I feel better and my clothes are fitting better. In the future, I will disclose what I'm working toward and I will dive into my meal prep, workouts and supplements. I hope you guys/gals join me on this journey!

Style thats AMAZON and on TARGET..see what I did there?

Spring is here and this means warmer weather and slicker style. Out with the dark colors and bulky clothing.  Style on a budget can be difficult, lower prices usually mean lower quality.  Cheap is what we want to pay, not how we want to look. Spring brings fun colors and patterns. If you've never ventured into spring colors or the pattern world nows the time to do it.  Target makes it affordable and fun.  They always have great deals going on (right now SHORTS20 code gets you 20% off shorts).

Remember the cut of your short should be at or above the knee, anything longer not only looks ridiculous but will actually make you appear shorter. NO pleaded shorts or pants....ever! Flat front is my go-to shorts, cargo for the weekend adventures or camping. Have fun with it, one pattern or bright color at a time. As shown above, a fun color for the shorts paired with a solid neutral color shirt is perfect. Same goes for patterns, either a bright color or pattern, not both. 

The shoes shown above are so versatile! They can be dressed up or down, great color and unbelievably comfortable. Click on the images to jump over to Amazon and check out the brand and styles!
