4 Goals for 4 Weeks
Here goes - 4 weeks til I’m back at school (aka work), so I’ve got a few things to focus on daily while I’m prepping for good school year habits. These are from my 30 habits for 30 days - the biggest things that I either didn’t stick to as well I should have, or that just need a little more tweaking.
1. 7 to 8 hours of sleep. During the summer I can nap during the day - school year means no naps. 😭 So I’m putting the pressure on myself now to start scheduling bedtime earlier in order to still get enough sleep. [8 pm electronics off, 9 pm bed, 5 am wakeup]
2. 5 days of the gym. Every week. No excuses. I took some spin classes with my sister (she’s an instructor) while we were on vacation, and I loved how many calories I burned in under an hour!! I’m going to try some of those workouts on my own at the gym. For the next few weeks I’ll be working out during the day with hubby, but when school starts back up, I’ll be going alone first thing in the morning (and he’ll be doing the evening shift when I get back from work).
3. Skin care. I know better - I have all the great products. I literally have a schedule in my head that I think of every day when I go into my bathroom. And I still skip half the time. NO EXCUSES HERE EITHER! Self care is just as important as eating healthy and working out, so this is it. Wearing makeup to school every day will trash my skin if I’m not taking good care of it. Morning AND night - cleanse, treat, moisturize.
4. Healthy food. I maintained during vacation (impressive considering it was a wedding month and my sister was the cake decorator 😍), but I’m back to needing a schedule. Planning the following: eggs with bacon and cheese and toast for breakfast, prepped salads for lunch, mainly protein for dinner, small snacks (fruit, cheese, etc) as needed - CRAP TON OF WATER. I know myself, and trying to cut anything entirely makes me want it sooo badly. So instead, I’m just going to focus on mostly water. A soda once in awhile won’t kill me, some juice is alright, coffee when I really need it (lol #teacherlife). But mostly water. Like 100 oz per day of straight, clear, H2O.
Here we go guys - August is gonna be good.
