When your schedule gets in the way of your workouts

 

Set your environment up for success

Picture this: You finally get home after a long day and your stomach is growling.

So you tell yourself, “Time for a healthy, home-cooked meal!"

But then you raid your fridge, cabinets, and pantry, and…

Not a healthy option in sight.

If this sounds familiar, you are NOT alone.

And it doesn’t just happen with home-cooked meals. Without careful attention, other healthy habits can quickly fall off your radar, too.

Like when your schedule gets a little out of control and you let a few workouts slide… 

Or you end up staying up too late one night and spend the rest of the week trying to catch up on your sleep.

We unintentionally create so many unnecessary obstacles that block us from reaching our goals!

👉 Good news: I’ve got a simple formula that will help you stop that from happening… 

So you can take control of your environment — and get those results you’re working toward.

All you have to do is come up with a “one-two action plan” that:

→ Makes it easy to stick to your goals.

→ Makes it tough to stray off course.

Here are a couple of examples…

If your goal is to have healthy food available at home:

  • Make it easy: Come up with a meal plan and system for your grocery shopping (or maybe even opt for healthy meal delivery or a grocery pick-up!)
  • Make it tough to mess up: Don’t keep junk food at home

If your goal is to work out regularly:

  • Make it easy: Keep your gym gear in your car
  • Make it tough to skip: Join a fitness studio on your commute home, or hire a coach who will keep you accountable


If your goal is to sleep 7-8 hours a night:

  • Make it easy: Set a regular sleep schedule and stick with it
  • Make it tough to skip: Create a relaxing nighttime routine to prep for bed, and set a reminder on your phone at the allotted time every night

See the pattern? It's about setting up your space to encourage good habits and discourage the not-so-good.

So, here’s a challenge/invitation for you…

This week, identify one thing you can adjust to help you stay on track — and another that'll stop you from slipping. 

Then, take action!

Simple changes, big results. (Love that!)

The Missing Piece of Your Fat Loss After 40 Success

The Missing Piece of Your Fat Loss After 40 Success Is this why your hormones are out of whack...? Macros. Strength training. These are undoubtedly crucial components of a successful fitness journey. But there's one more piece to the puzzle that often gets overlooked: sleep. Without sufficient sleep, even the most dedicated workout routines and carefully planned diets can fall short. When you're sleep-deprived, your body's hormones, which regulate metabolism and appetite, can become imbalanced. This can lead to increased cravings, reduced energy levels, and slower weight loss. So, how much sleep do you need? Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night. Create a relaxing bedtime routine, ensure your sleep environment is dark and quiet, and limit screen time before bed. By prioritizing sleep, you'll support your body's ability to recover from workouts, burn fat, and build muscle. So, next time you're feeling frustrated with your fitness progress, consider whethe...
