As we roll into summer, it’s time to finally work on those “summer bods” that we promised ourselves we would work towards once the new year started, am I right? Sometimes it can be difficult to stay on track with our fitness plans when the sun is out and there is more to do. Summer drinks, fun with friends, and times at the beach can get in the way of our fitness schedules and our nutrition plans. However, there are ways to stay on track and stick to your fitness goals while also staying nutritious.

Make A Plan
A great way to stay on track with your fitness goals is to write down your plan and make a checklist of what you are doing. When you see something on paper you are more likely to stick to your goals so that you can physically prove to yourself that you succeeded in staying on track with your fitness plan and staying nutritious. You can even buy fitness journals or create bullet journals to stay creative and keep your interest in your plan.
Have A Workout Buddy
Ask a friend with similar goals to workout with you and keep you on your toes when it comes to staying nutritious. It is always more fun when you work towards your goals with your friends so it should keep you more motivated to stick to your fitness and nutritional plans when you can talk cool Pinterest recipes with your friends and go to the gym together (or create good workout plans at home!). Also, working out and staying nutritious can be a chore sometimes, especially in the summer when there are much more exciting things to do. So, it can be healthy and therapeutic to talk to your friends, family members, or any support system you have about your complaints or your struggles involving your process, because, it will not be sunshine and happiness throughout the whole journey which is totally normal.

Treat It As A Lifestyle Change
Progress and motivation is all about switching your mental perspective and not looking at your fitness and nutritional plan as a permanent bother but, instead, as a positive lifestyle change. Strict plans are sometimes not in your best interest because since they are so drastic, it is difficult to see it as a long-term goal. If you set a reasonable goal for yourself that you can realistically incorporate into your lifestyle then there is a greater chance you will be more motivated and able to stick to your goals of staying nutritious and sticking to your fitness plan for a longer period of time.
