Ice Cream for Breakfast

It sounds really yummy huh? Ice cream for breakfast. Well, that's what former supermodel Kathy Ireland was doing.

Getting caught up with "life" and it's many wonders can be a daunting task. Shuttling the kids to school and extracurricular activites can take up tons of your time. So how do you stay focused and motivated? If a three-time supermodel that ruled the cover of Sports Illustrated can gain 25 lbs and "look pregnant", it's goes to show that just because you have money and fame, does not mean anything. It does not mean you'll be in perfect health and shape.

Here are some tips on motivation and staying strong:

Team up. Having a "workout buddy" can keep you dedicated to a fitness routine. Find a running partner. Ask your homies to come to boot camp with you. Take a walk with your spouse every night after dinner. If you can team up with another person, you are less likely to take a pass on your workout.

Just walk it out. Walk the dog. It may sound a little weird at first, but getting into a good walking routine can not only help your health, but your dog's too!

Reward yourself. Set a goal for working out each week, and if you reach it, reward yourself with something small. You might try something like buying a book or going to see a movie. Try to keep the reward to non-food items.

Set small, reachable goals. We did this in class last week by writing on the notecards. Try not to discourage yourself by attempting to go all out. Strive for slow, steady improvement. Consistency will win the race!

Be honest with yourself. Will you really work out when you get home from a long meeting or playing with your kids at the park? Try to make sure you schedule time for fitness when you have the energy.

Join a class. It can help to have a set time to work out. Try out something that interests you for extra motivation.

Go, go, go. If you think about working out too much, you might talk yourself out of it. Just do it.

There are my tips for motivation success! If you feel like having ice cream for breakfast, like Kathy Ireland, you had better be ready to burn it off.
