All About Routine
By: Presley, PTA
Getting into a routine is NOT easy. I am a visual person so I love to have things right in front of me which is why I always make lists. Here's my tips, let's make a list!
- Make goals for yourself. What's your weight goal? What's your dieting goals? Fitness goal?
- Meal prep. I know, this is way easier said than done. Especially if you have little ones running around but anything you can do to save time, DO IT.
- Get rid of junk food. Go through that pantry and throw away those Oreos and Flaming Hot Cheetos (my krptonite). Stock up on healthy snacks such as: trail mix, nuts, veggies, fruit, or yogurt!
- Get a workout buddy. They will help you stay accountable and it makes it MORE FUN! I workout with my friend, Katie and we laugh and cry. HAHA But really, find a buddy.
- Download a fitness app or start a food log.
-I use my Fitness Pal app and put in what I eat daily. I even put in if I ate an M&M! This helps hold yourself accountable on what you are putting into your body.
