It’s no secret that we live in a busy world. I was talking to another #bossmom on Wednesday about how fast paced Miami is and how we are always on the run. How do you find time to workout, eat clean and make time for yourself when you are always on the go? I use to make excuses I don’t have time to workout, I don’t have time to cook, why eat clean? Well four months ago I decided to quit making excuses and just give it a try.

With the help of healthier fast food options like Grown and Dr. Smood, I have cut back on a lot of processed foods and swapped out fresh juices and smoothies instead of Starbucks everyday. (Yes I went to Starbucks every weekday) I also try my best to shop at Whole Foods where I know I am surrounded by healthier options. It is a little more expensive but hey you get what you pay for. I never thought I would eat raw oats or drink avocado smoothies, but they actually taste pretty good.

Making time to workout is a must nowadays. When I don’t go to Pure Barre or hit the track I feel out of whack. I do not workout everyday but I do at least 3 days a week. This is my “ME” time. I am working on building a stronger body and a calmer mind lol! Don’t get it wrong, I also schedule lunch with a friend at least once a week.

As a result I have dropped a few pounds and I feel great. I know it is not easy but if you believe you can do it and set small goals you will get it done! Yes we live in a busy world where everyone is trying to keep up with social media and television but remember most of those posts are not authentic. You have to do what works for you. #yougotthis
