I will say that I was happy to have Group Power first thing this morning to get a good sweat in. It’s always a great start to my Monday.

Here is a quick Photo Recap of our fun filled 4th Of July weekend:

Friday was a beach morning for Marc, Ava and I. This girl loves to be at the beach and run wild.

Around 3pm we headed to Todd’s Point for my friend Lindsay’s birthday beach party. It’s really impossible to get Ava to cooperate for the camera. If you have any tips, please share!

Ava once again swam in the water and played in the sand.

She ran around until she had no energy left!

Lets just say it was an early bed time for Ava.

Saturday was a cloudy day and a slow start in our house. We all slept until 7am which is a record. We never sleep that late, but I’ll take it.

We treated ourselves to some Dunkin Iced Coffees, walked Cooper and did some stuff around the house.

Marc did a lot of cooking Saturday and we BBQ’d at our house with our family for dinner. Ribs were on the menu and I’m so happy they were because they were so delicious.

Sunday we went for a long walk with Cooper again and then headed to Todd’s point for one last weekend beach trip. The weather was perfect and I loved being outside and playing in the water with Ava.

Kids really make the beach a lot more fun.

All in all we had a fun time being outside and enjoying extra time together with family & friends!

I absolutely love this time of year, the weather is warm, I am outside more, and there are tons of BBQ’s and Parties to attend. 

Come Monday are you that person that regrets your weekend choices? Holidays of course are for celebrating but by making a few smarter choices you can keep your health & fitness goals on track!!

Tips for a HEALTHY & Happy 4th:

  1. Avoid all the processed snacks. The chips & cookies may look good but they are not going to keep you full and they will most likely have you craving more sugary and carb rich foods.
  2. Take a small plate… load up on as much of the fruits, veggies, tossed salad, & lean protein as you can. If you are still hungry go back for seconds but only choose one scoop of the things you REALLY want to indulge in. Better yet have the burger but throw it on a huge salad and skip the bun!!
  3. Limit your alcohol. Avoid sugary drinks like Margaritas and Pina coladas; they are loaded with sugar and calories. IF you’re going to have a drink, have a beer or wine and make sure to mix in a glass of water to stay hydrated.
  4. Skip Dessert. This will throw your calorie budget over the top! If there is fruit…dive in! If you really need it, take 1/2 of a brownie, or 1/2 of a piece of cake and then throw it out!
  5. Get your workout in! Just because it is the 4th of July doesn’t mean you can’t get a quick workout in. Even if it is at home with some pushups, squats, & sit-ups. You will thank me later :)

These little TIPS will help you feel better in the long run! Happy 4th Of July :)

Do you have any Healthy Eating BBQ Tips to add to the list??
