Doing one thing differently is often the same as doing everything differently.
Living a healthy life is often built upon corner stone habits. What do I mean by this? Well, if I make it a habit to get up and workout in the morning a few other things are going to happen. I will get to bed earlier knowing that I have an early alarm and want to have energy for my workout. If I am going to get up I want yo be awake enough not die making stupid tired decisions. I won’t snack on lots of treats at night because I know I won’t sleep as well and because those treats may lead to an upset stomach in the morning.
The cornerstone habit was working out in the morning, before you know it better sleeping and different nutrition habits are taking root in order to help me live a healthy life.
I did one thing different and it lead to doing lots of things different.
My point in saying this is to remind you, and myself, that we don’t need to get overwhelmed with making a lot of changes. Make one decision, one change, and watch what else falls into place. For instance, this weekend make the choice to grab a friend and head to the gym. Before you know it Saturday donuts become Saturday smoothies, or still Saturday donuts but you smile because you “earned” them.
Let’s talk about that Saturday workout with your friend now.
We are grabbing a weighted med ball and doing everything together. Enjoy! Push each other! And go get some coffee after!
Next week I am coming back to running stuff as promised last week. Watch for strength work next week.
