What to do on a rainy Sunday?  Well for me it started with clients to train.  Then we headed home and I got my own workout in....
100 Squats
100 Walking lunges
50 Burpees
50 Flights of stairs
100 Jumping Jacks
Then is was time for meal prep.  I made some yummy muffins for the week and asparagus, mahi mahi, sweet potato, and fruit salad.  
I split everything up into serving sizes and individually packed.  I am ready for the fist half of the week.  
Are you ready for a successful week?  Start with these delicious muffins!

Happy Monday!  Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend striving towards your goals of a healthier lifestyle!
I have decided to train for my first Triathlon!  (September)
I am very excited.  The swim will be my biggest challenge as it is something I have never done before.  My training has been tough lately.  I;m lifting heavier and my workout time has changed due to my much busier schedule.  Nothing will get in the way of my goals though.  I will push harder and set new goals to get out of my rut!
Anyone else in a rut this time of year?  The weather around here certainly doesn't help!
