It is probably the most challenging time of the year for a woman... the battle between winter comfort, baggy clothes and less beach trips that mean we can eat, and eat, and eat and not worry too much about the bikini body. Winter ends though, every year and there is nothing worse than not being prepared for that first hot day come summer!
Tip 1: Sleep in your gym clothes
Okay it sounds a little strange, but it's logical. If you get up in the morning to go to gym then you definitely need to start sleeping in your gym clothes (maybe put a onesie over the top so you feel like your in more bed time attire ;) ) but seriously. I set my alarm for 5:25 and I am out of there by 5:30am because I am already dressed, I don't have to strip in the freezing cold or think about what to wear and I GO because I feel like I've wasted sleeping in gym clothes if I don't!
Tip 2: Eat the damn brownie
It is winter after all! you don't need to have a six pack, but eat the damn brownie when you want the damn brownie! but don't forget to eat your chicken and vegetables too. All it really is, is about portions! so eat the brownie but keep your portion small and balance your meals... lets not eat KFC every day of the week of you can kiss that kini bod goodbye!
Tip 3: Go for more walks
Weekends seem boring in winter because you cant go to the beach and instead you go out for food more and to the movies (which normally involves more food) but why don't you change up your beach trips with beach walks. It keeps you fit and you catch up with friends at the same time!
Tip 4: Work harder in the gym
Since you are preparing your body for summer why not go that little bit harder? Find a motivation picture, set it as your goal, set the time limit and how your going to get there and just work dam HARDER! harder than last year, harder than the year before that! ACHIEVE your dream body with going harder!
Tip 5: Love what you see
Look in the mirror, every day. Love it, love the extra skin, love the way you are. If you love your body all of the other tips will be done at ease. If you do it with pressure and not love yourself through the process then you will never be happy.
This is me, right now. I love my bikini body all year round. I might not be the skinniest person in the room, nor fit everyone's idealistic bikini body. However I still work hard, eat good when I want and eat bad when I want. I live my life! and this winter... I am keepin' my bikini body!
Much Love, Mikhailla x
