8 Habits which help my busy week & means I still make progress with my health & fitness goals.
What would you add?
1. A workout in the bag either Monday or Tuesday so I feel I have kick started my training for the week & not chasing my tail.
2. A decent cup of coffee a day. My joy! Gets planned in my day & also means I get steps in to get there & back.
3. Breakfast! High protein & filling. I can’t live off a piece of toast or nothing! I want to be full until lunchtime & minimise the urge to get snack happy.
4. If it’s not planned, we are shopping every day & I hate it. Planned once & feel so much more in control of the week. Saves my mental energy too!
5. I don’t make life harder for myself with new recipes in the week - save them for the weekend. Match your dinners for the amount of time & headspace you have. Quick & easy for busy nights!
6. I really try to batch one thing for the week on a Sunday. It might be breakfasts or it might be a massive salad. Or even some cooked chicken.
One thing done can make a big difference.
7. Never far from my Tank! I aim to drink two of these a day. Measurable & I can see how much I’ve had or not.
8. A plan for my workouts. I use Runna | Running Coaching App as training for something specific & then add my strength workouts in there. I have regular days & this works around busy work days & family time. Trial & error but I don’t beat myself up if it doesn’t happen or I need an extra rest day.
