Week 8: Daily Routine & Habits

This week we will focus on habits.  Breaking bad ones and creating good ones.  First let’s identify the habits we want to keep in our daily routine:  going to bed early, drinking lots of water, and knocking out 5 cardio workouts each week.  What?  These are not your habits?  Now is a great time to begin making these your habits.  When I kicked off this 9 week fitness blog my goal was to engage you to check in weekly for a little motivation and a little direction.  I am here to help you reach your fitness, health & wellness goals.  Make it about the journey, focus on your goals and have faith.

Pick three bad habits and three good habits to focus your energy on this week.  Keep track of the number of times you act on these habits and write them in your fitness journal.  You will better understand your weaknesses and strengths so you can set new goals and reach new levels in 2013. 

Tips for week 8:

-         Pack fresh fruit &veggies to snack on throughout the day

-         Pack your running/walking shoes if you travel

-         Exercise while waiting.  (Kids at practice, car in the shop, etc.)

-         Go to bed early a few nights this week

-         Involve other family members and friends in your fitness plan

-         Drink LOTS of water

Keep up the great work!
