So I’ve had a double dose of temptations and activities that have kept me a little off my game this Christmas season. This past week before Christmas, I was on vacation from work, which meant that I was out of my normal routine! I’ve been able to stay on track with exercise, because that’s the way I relax, de-stress and feel better – so exercise is a absolute non-negotiable. I haven't missed a single Shakeology each day because this is also one of my single most important daily habits to ensure that I'm nourishing my body with real food full of nutrients that I can't possibly get by eating food from our grocery stores. But this past week, I’ve not been completely on track with my nutrition. I’ve not been eating too much junk or processed foods, BUT I haven’t been eating very many vegetables and honestly not much food at all this past week. SO, after tonight’s Christmas supper and a little dessert, I’m back to work on Monday & back to my normal eating routine. I’ve already prepped my meals and packed for my 4 work days during the week.
Let me tell you what I have accomplished this week, more sleep (this is huge for me!), I’ve rested my brain (also huge!) and I’ve started my organizing operation. I’ve spent a lot of time working on next year’s goals with my personal health & fitness, my business goals and my pharmacy work goals – so this is making me feel productive and more focused.
So here’s my plan for this upcoming week. I’m absolutely finishing this year healthy!
First, I’m not worried at all about the treats or foods that I at this past week. Life happens and I’m not worried about eating perfectly all the time. But my stomach is totally ready for me to be back on track and have more vegetables!
Second, I’m reminding myself that I’ve accomplished a lot in my journey so far and my goal is to continue moving forward, one step at the time. I’ve also reminded myself of my goals, written some new goals and recommitted to my plans.
I’ve created my meal plan for the week & I’m sticking to it!
I’m planning to drink water like it’s my job to keep myself hydrated and help my body clean out some of the sugar and toxins!
I’m eating clean this entire week, no processed foods and definitely no sweets this week. I will have only 1 treat meal at the end of the week on Saturday.
I’m following my recommended food intake according to my Core De Force nutrition plan so that I’m absolutely sure I’m eating enough of the right types of food. Each day I’m working, I struggle with finding the time to eat, so I’m making an extra effort this week to ensure that I’m eating enough and taking breaks to allow myself to eat.
My workouts are scheduled for before work this week and I’m keeping this schedule like an appointment – this might be difficult for me since I’ve been off this past week and have slept in a little!
I’m also plugging into my challenge groups. We all help to help support each other with our goals to finish this year healthier and stronger. We’re in this journey together, one day at the time! Together we make our health and fitness journeys so much more fun!
Most importantly, I’m remembering that life is life, we’re all human and we must have a little fun with things! One step at the time, one healthy meal at the time, one workout at the time, one good night’s sleep at the time and of course not worrying about what’s in the past.
Here’s to a new week and finishing this year strong!
