#BOSUstrong Challenge: Week 2 (Balance)

Hi there! Hope your week is off to a good start.

How was your weekend? Ours was busy; we drove to New Orleans for a special someone’s 2nd birthday party. Sunday was spent relaxing after Baby M finally slept through the night again! Let’s hope this trend continues.

Moving on…

If you forgot to join me last week for the #BOSUStrong challenge or just weren’t up for the cardio, make sure you join me this week as it’s all about the balance! We’re standing on one leg, lunging, and squatting our way through the week.

But balance means more than just being able to stand on one leg, it also means being able to do what you love while making healthy choices at the same time. It means putting in the work and still finding time for Netflix & baby snuggles. Or eating the heck out of chocolate cake but balancing it out with meal-sized salads.

Here are the 6 ways I stay balanced – what are yours?

I make time for myself by carving out time to blog—writing is my passion.
My favorite me time is my Monday night cardio barre class.
My rule when it comes to a balanced diet is listen to my body and respect my cravings.
I make fitness a priority by going outside for a walk during lunch and taking classes at the gym.
When I get stressed or overwhelmed, my go to is multi-faceted: deep breathing, a quiet walk, or a sniff of my lavender essential oil.
I do my best to leave my work-related frustrations behind to help my family stay balanced.

So I want to know – are you #BOSUStrong? Copy and paste the above, fill it in [replacing the bold & italicized answers] and make it your own, and then tag me in it and share with your friends! Let’s all be #BOSUSTRONG.

Follow me along on Instagram and Twitter. You don’t have to own a Bosu (I don’t—although I’m hoping to win my own!) to participate.
