Beating the "BAD" Sunday habits!

Have you ever had one of those Sundays where you just wanna lay down in bed and watch tv while indulging in those delicious chocolate brownies? Well I know I do. Today was one of those Sundays. I woke up at 10:00 A.M which is not so bad for a heavy sleeper, but I usually wake up on weekends prepared to work out. So, after waking up I ate my usual breakfast: ( Will be posting soon, also with special recipes and tips for breakfast!) And got ready for the Gym. My usual Sundays consist of running only. So I ran my 5 miles, feeling refreshed and ready to take on my day, but today wasn't one of those days, I was feeling under the weather, and decided to lay down in bed with a good bowl of homemade caramel popcorn. Now I know what your thinking, " Caramel popcorn is bad for you, full of sugar, and no healthy value. " So, how do you beat this horrible habit of " weekend indulgence? "

Tip 1 : Wake up and plan your day, such as : Meal plans, fitness, etc...
Tip 2 : Eat a balanced, healthy breakfast that doesn't  involve any preservatives, making you crash throughout your workout.
Tip 3 : Get your workout first thing in the morning.
Tip 4 : Never skip any important meals, and remember to always have snacks throughout the day, for example : A post workout snack which could be a fruit smoothie with a protein powder. ( that's optional )
Tip 5 : Enjoy your day with friends or family, like taking a walk through the park. ( This helps avoid any cravings you have while stuck at home )
Tip 7 :  DRINK PLENTY OF WATER!!!!  It helps you cleanse your body, of any toxins you have.
Tip 8 : Sleep it all off! ( At least 8 hours of relaxing sleep )
