Plan for Success

Can you believe it’s day 14 already?  That means you are 1/2 way through your 4 week challenge!

I hope that over the past 2 weeks you’ve implemented some changes that have made a positive change in your life, whether your goals are.

To help keep you on the right track moving into week 3, the time when many people “fall off the wagon” I’d like you to take a few minutes on Sunday to plan out your week.

If you’re not into meal planning you don’t need to start, but it is a good way to ensure you have lots of healthy options around.  Here is a post I wrote back in the fall about meal planning along with a free meal panning/grocery shopping list print out (which can be found in that post).

Another great thing to plan is your workouts.  If you plan out your workouts for the week ahead of time you are much more likely to follow through and do them.  Perhaps you already have a great weekly plan in place – then wonderful!  You are already ahead of the game!  but if you are someone who finds it difficult to fit in workouts, this might be just what you need to make it a priority.  Pencil it in your day planner like you would a doctor’s appointment, and treat as such.  What I mean is, if something comes up that makes you wonder if you should skip your workout, ask yourself if you would cancel the appointment if it was with your doctor for that reason, if the answer is, “no,” then you shouldn’t break this appointment either.

Of course there are exceptions to every rule, but if you make those exceptions just that – exceptions, then it’s all good.

So go grab your calendar and plan your workouts for next week!

And then drink a glass of water 😉
