Holiday Workouts and Fighting Negativity.

Hello fellow 4th of July lovers.  
Hope you are all recovering well from your weekends of face stuffing, drinking, family and fireworks.  Today I wanted to talk about staying positive and healthy during holidays or vacations. 


While I was on vacation for the 4th weekend, the boyfran and I went up to his parent’s lake house.  Everyone usually goes; his parents, his brother, his sister’s clan and friends.  We love being up on the water with friends.  Given the holiday, we all had some extra time off work and were obviously away from our normal routines. 

We did not let that stop us.  
We managed to get ourselves out of bed each morning and be motivated to get in some exercise.  One day we did a routine out in the yard with his mom, the next day we ran up to the coffee house and back.  Saturday morning 
arrives and I got as many people as possible convinced to workout with me before the festivities and the beach day.  We all got down on our yoga mats and towels in the yard and started a nice sweaty ab routine.  And then it hits, the one thing 
that can ruin motivation in any form. 

Mr. Negative. 
That one person with us (he was not one pf the people working out) that was convinced that we were idiots.  He laughed, he made jokes, and worst of all he made not very nice comments to his girlfriend. 

I hate Mr. Negative. The person that fully believes that exercise is pointless and that people that do it are wasting their time.  They think they are perfectly healthy with their ever growing beer gut and lack of ability to run around the block.  They will continue to have this belief even until they have a heart attack or high blood pressure. 
Keep your cool around these ones.  

Or do what I did…. Yell at them and tell them 
to shut up and quit laughing.  Just know that you are on the right track and pretty soon you are gonna look amazing.  Every day is a good day for some exercise and 
positive thoughts.  I don’t care if it’s Christmas, Get Out There and SWEAT!!



P.S. This could be anyone, not just men.
