Longest week ever! I seriously didn’t think Friday would ever come. To celebrate I treated myself with a killer workout this morning and now I’m enjoying a soy latte and raspberry scone. Since I shared my fitness success <\/a>over the last year Tuesday and this week was the first full week of spring today’s 5-er is health inspired<\/a>. Bikini season is two months away people! It’s time to kick it in high gear.<\/p>\n

Here are five ways I stay dedicated to working out and living healthy.<\/p>\n

one.<\/b>
\nNo Excuses. I set two alarms for morning workouts, workout before work, go to bed early and set clothes out the night before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
{via Running with Ollie<\/a>}<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\ntwo.<\/b>
\nApps. We live on our smart phones so why not let them keep you motivated and on track. I use My Fitness Pal<\/a> to track food\/overall workouts and Run Keeper to track runs. Both keep me personally accountable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
{Run Keeper + 10 best fitness apps<\/a> via Redbook }<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

three.<\/b>
\nWorkout clothes. I’m  usually a sweaty hot mess when I’m working out so why not own awesome workout clothes. You don’t have to spend a fortune TJ Maxx<\/a>, Target<\/a> and Marshalls<\/a> all carry great options. I’m personally a big fan of The North Face<\/a> and own multiple pairs of the GTD Capri Tight<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nfour.<\/b>
\nMake a Schedule. I schedule all my workouts. This goes back to accountability. Consider it a meeting for yourself — you time. I love my time in the morning. I’m able to clear my head, break a sweat and start the day off on the right foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
{via Simply Sadie Jane<\/a>}<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\nfive.<\/b>
\nHave fun. Yes workouts should be hard, but fun. Mix up your routine. Take a new class. Workout with friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
