Running my facebook challenge has been enlightening to see how hard people think it is to fit being healthy into their lives. I realized today that for a long time, I didnt make healthy a priority. It seemed like everything got in the way of being healthy: work, friendships, relationships, just plain ole laziness. Having lost over 100 lbs, I realize that being healthy is really the most important thing. How can you be a good parent, child, sibling, worker, student, whatever roles you are filling if you don't have your health in the state it should be? It took me a long time to realize this , but now I do.
I set goals for myself every day , and I adhere to them as though they are part of my schedule.
I figure out what type of workouts and when I'll do them on SAturday , so I am "set up" for the week. Any commitment I make to myself I'm firm on and if I said I'm exercising, I'm exercising. I prepare healthy meals that can stay refridgerated on sundays when I have more time, and actually, Shakeology has cut down on my meal prep time (so much easier to run the blender than cook).
A really good tip I would give anyone trying to squeeze in exercise is to try to do a few days in the morning before work...especially your "long days" or Mondays or Fridays , when we tend to be most tired after work. LIke right now, I'm thrilled that I already did the Monday am workout.
I prioritize being healthy every day....so can you.
