How I Start My Weekends

I don't alway start my weekends the same, but they always seem to go SO much better when I do. I would love to be able to start every day like this in the sunshine but it is still dark when I head in to work! I have always been a list maker, and like to keep a notebook with my ever changing lists inside. To do lists, gratitude lists, shopping lists, christmas lists, dream lists, budgets- it is ALL inside! So to spend a little bit of time each morning dreaming, aligning my budget with those dreams, and plotting out a plan of action make the rest of my day feel so much more productive. I feel like I have direction and I also feel positive because I know I can achieve my goals. Now some of these goals may take a few years- but I know that I am on the right track, and that feel pretty great post workout. :)

Coffee

I get this question a lot too- Can I still drink my coffee on this meal plan? With the exception of during the Ultimate Reset, I ALWAYS start my day off with some coffee. I am hopelessly addicted and I honestly just don't want to ever give it up haha. So here are my tips with what help me to have coffee!

1. I love lattes. I bought a nespresso machine- although to be honest, I didn't actually buy it but someone gave me their old one.
2. I mix coconut milk (unsweetened, unflavored) in my lattes- brings calories down and nutrition UP!
3. As far as sweetener goes, I slowly weaned myself down to a lower dosage. It took me awhile- but now I only need a little bit of sugar.
4. I also tried agave nectar- but didn't like it.
5. Sugar in the raw is so much better than regular sugar- I actually use less!
6. Moderation Peeps!

So there you go- my tips to help you have a delicious cup of coffee every morning and still stay on track to reach your goals!
