You can have your career and your health!

Before Thanksgiving, lets finish out this month with more from our Working Woman who Works out! I encourage you to enjoy all the things this month has to offer. Enjoy the turkey, ham, sweet potatos and anything else your heart desires! But, I also you encourage to maybe not enjoy them all in 1 hour people, enjoy them with the continued celebration for all your knowledge of exercising! you know, that thing called the gym.

Here's what Racquel had to say about her healthy busy lifestyle.

Q: How do you manage to workout, have a social life, and maintain a relationship?
 
A: It's all about managing my schedule. I manage my workouts on my schedule the same way that I manage my meetings on my schedule. This includes coordinating my hair maintenance around my workouts as well. On busier days, I aim for a quick 20-30 minute run instead of a 90 minute yoga class. This allows me to save time to spend with friends and my boyfriend without the expense of missing a workout. My boyfriend and I sometimes workout together, which makes for a fun date.
Q: Whats your favorite exercise?
 
A: I've always been a runner. I enjoy pushing myself to my edge. I've found that running and yoga are the perfect balance for me. I love Yoga! I have been practicing Yoga for a year and a half and have developed a social life within in the Yoga community in my city. Yoga allows me to focus on my inner and physical strength. With Yoga I'm able to set goals, track my progression, and just have fun while I workout!
 
Get Motivated, it all about how you feel, not how you look! Looks will come with confidence!

Happy Thankgiving

November's Working Woman who works out, Racquel Hudson

Hey Party Girls,

As you Know Party Girl Fit loves to keep all women motivated, there are no excuses in life and living healthy should be a priority!
For mommies we had a great feature on Christy Joy, the baby Fat Boss! Last month's working woman who works out was Yenory Suejay Garcia.
This month is Racquel Hudson, and we are so excited to have her motivate you guys!

Check out what this Amazing woman had to share about how she lives healthy!



Job Title: Assistant Vice President, Strategic Consulting for Comerica Bank

Q: What is your take on dieting and staying healthy? Do you enjoy life and all it has to offer, do you workout to stay healthy, do you workout for the enjoyment?

A: "Just eat the damn cookie" is my motto. I literally have a sign in my apartment with that quote. I'm a proponent of healthy eating. I find that I feel better and have more energy when I maintain what I consider to be a relatively healthy diet. However, eating one burger, under normal circumstances, for a healthy girl who exercises won't kill her.

I'm a sucker for tacos and a great burger and I allow myself to indulge every now and then. I don't stress myself out about maintaining an extremely limited diet. It doesn't work for my schedule. I think it's important to find what works for you. I'm not a fan of temporary/fad diets. Short term dieting typically leads back to the original results. I prefer to take a balanced approach.
 
I work out for the mere enjoyment. I love the edge and often find myself craving the adrenaline of a tough workout. The health benefits are an added bonus.
 
Check back all week as we reveal more about this working woman!
 
Love and Sweat,
