What a great Sunday. Who needs a vacation to Mexico or somewhere in the tropics, I just spent 3 hours alone in my own house. It was amazing. I feel like a new woman.
Sunday night is a good time to make your fitness/self care plan for the week. When are you going to work out this week? Are you going to pack a lunch for work? What are you going to eat? Do you have tomorrows lunch prepared?
If a week seems like too much to plan, what are you planning to do for movement tomorrow? How are you going to make it happen? I like planning an entire week but everyone is different. Make sure on the path to fitness you are always doing what works best for YOU.
Remember that everything you do for movement counts. There are huge benefits to 10 minutes of exercise. One important benefit- exercise/movement is appetite suppressing. Moderate amounts of moderate intensity exercise are appetite suppressing (American Council on Exercise http://www.acefitness.org/). Both intense exercise or no activity are appetite stimulating. Now hear this... moderate amounts of moderate intensity exercise are appetite suppressing. (ex walking at lunch) Let me know if you want more explanation on this because it is important info to understand.
If you are thinking that planning, packing lunches, and exercise all sound like way too much work I hear ya. I'm with you but being unhealthy and out of shape takes a lot of work too. How much time and energy do you spend feeling bad because you don't exercise. How exhausting is it to know you could be fitter. Wouldn't it almost be easier just to pack a lunch or plan your activity for the week? (Heads up, the answer is yes.)
Keep Moving
So, I should walk slowly to the frig right?
