Recently I have been asked, "Nina, I want to know what you do every day?" This question got me excited!
The fact that individuals appreciate my strive for success from afar is amazing to me, and deep down all I really want to do is inspire people to change their lives. Getting questions all the time either from friends, family, associates, clients, etc. shows me that I must be on the right track. :) I really hope all I do through my daily battles (Yes, it is a DAILY battle!) will inspire at least 1 person/day to strive in their own daily challenges.
Day in the Life of ME:
On average I am a very busy person, and I am sure some of you have seen or heard that saying, “Someone who is busier than you is running right now!” I always FIT it in during the week, no matter what!!!
My life is very structured, because without structure I would fail.

This is probably why a lot of people do fail,
because they don’t feel they need to develop a plan or base. Think of it this
way; Your body is like a full-time job and you need to be holding yourself
accountable, have rewards and punishments when you do or do not succeed at your
own deadlines!
(I do this for myself, and recently just began a
new tracking system for my progress, allowing different rewards for my
continued success! I will share my progress on this once I get at least
4 perfect weeks!)
My usual daily schedule: Monday - Friday
5:15am Wake-up GET to the GYM! I get my cardio over with right away in the am, before I have time to dread it all day. Cardio is a constant challenge for me, not sure if I will ever love it, but I have to do it!
7am- Breakfast
7am-9am: work from home, answering emails, developing plans, networking, etc.
9:30- Eat again!
10am- Workout Round 2
12pm- Eat!
12-8pm- Work I also consume about 4 more meals during these hours
8pm- Occasionally Rd 3 at the gym (this varies with contest preps)
9:30pm: Last meal, and Bed time.
Somewhere between all those times I find time to spend with my wonderful fiancĂ©, usually we do am cardio together and watch a show or a movie at night with our last meals. It’s important that we make lots of time for each other on a personal level to keep our relationship strong. Since we are PIC’s (partners in crime). Sometimes business can carry over into our personal lives, and we do not allow that to happen.
Weekend Schedule: Saturday
5:15am Wake-up: Am Cardio *No Excuses!
7:30am Meal 1
9-5pm (schedule may vary) Work & Consume meals 2-4
6:30pm Meal 5
7-10pm Consume Meals 6&7 and usually attend whatever events we have going on that weekend.
Sunday
5:15am Wake-up *OFF DAY! I do not work out or work on Sundays (usually) this is God's day of rest! I use it to rest my mind and prep for the upcoming week! Sundays are my favorite day of the week!
6-10am Eat meals 1 & 2 clean the house and make my grocery list
10:30am-12pm Church
12pm- Meal 3 & Grocery Shopping
2pm-6pm (give or take) Meal Prep. I cook all my food for the entire week, portion it, and separate it out by days. This saves me so much time during the week and I have no excuses to fail or stray from my diet! Prep for Success! Also consume meals 4 & 5
6:30pm-10pm Relax with my fiancé! & consume meals 6 & 7
*This is a general outline of my daily schedule. Of course it changes due to appointments, clients, work schedules, competitions, and life events, but on average this is my STRUCTURE. Without this well developed plan, I would not get nearly as much accomplished as I do.
To do this: Develop your GOALS first and foremost, and then create your Plan of execution! Together they will develop your future!
Always live FIT!
