Day 6! Staying focused on the road

I say on the road, but what I really mean is that I'm spending time in Ames with some friends. It being the weekend, that of course means football, beer, and greasy, cheesy appetizers. Even if my body tolerated cheese I wouldn't eat it, but that's not the point. I've (and you've) been clean for five days, now is the time for willpower. Sure, I want a Cosmo, bottle of wine, and some chips and salsa, but I also want a healthy body. We can't have it all.

I keep myself on track by packing my own food. I'm so used to being "that girl" who always brings her own food, and if you don't have friends that support your new, healthy lifestyle, I'd suggest finding other sources of support. Life changes are so much easier when it hers are there to help. There is a CSA in Ames which I love, because sponsoring local farms is awesome. I stocked up on free range chicken, vegetables, and avocado. I also packed my coconut oil, some raw mixed nuts, and a spaghetti squash. You know you're dedicated when you pack spaghetti squash :P

Anytime Fitness is awesome because they are everywhere! I might be away from my home gym, but that doesn't mean I didn't put my work in. Hopefully everyone else is finding a way to get moving today! 

Saturday (Flatterday) as I call it, means that I do two lifts per body part that I love the most. Basically, it's my excuse to do more squats. Three sets to fail of two exercises that you pick. It's fun and simple. After working your ass off all week it's good to take a step back and relax so that you are refreshed for next week's torture. The Anytime Fitness I went to had a spin bike, so at least I got some hard cardio in.

I'm writing this via the Blogger app on my phone, which is why it's short and shitty. If you're in the same boat as I am, surrounded by bars and football, pack yourself some sliced bell peppers, order quacamole, and enjoy your day!
