Day 61: March non-negotiables

I saw this great post about a "March reset" and it made me want to develop a list of 'non-negotiables' for myself this month.

Here's my list of non-negotiables (which double as boundaries) this month:

30 min reading before bed

1 new book each week

M/W/F strength sets (intro POWER Friday)

T/Th cardio sets

finish Stanley of water at work each day

face mask every Sunday

90 min focus each week on fitness business

Keep current 'respectful' eating pattern (high fiber and protein breakfast, high protein lunch, light dinner, post-dinner treat)

continue to park far away and walk more

go shopping in closet before buying anything new

I'm so stoked about this list!

WOD: strength set (10 min warm-up walk, 3 rounds, 10 reps each move - 50# sumo squat, 30# static lunges, incline push-ups, 15# bent arm raises, 60# farmer's carry, 10 min incline walk), 60 min Pilates class

I posted on my socials today that I’m deleting the meta apps off my phone. I’m going to feel so free ditching the Zuck zone. Not that I have a big following but it’ll be interesting to see how many people reach out to check in as a result.

I want to do something in March. Grow something. Write something. Start something. I lose too many hours to scrolling for inspiration and that’s not where I’ll find it.

I’m also just in need of deleting messenger from my phone. I need my HS girls chat to change platforms because I’m pavlov with that notification sound. And it’s never who it used to be.

Which is okay, it’s just the stupid part of my brain that I don’t control that has a flutter of wonder and the eventual disappointment.

I deleted my recent bumble attempt too after having yet another guy bomb me with all the right words and disappear mid text about something they brought up. (In this case - Scott pilgrim). I just wish bumble gave an exit interview. I’m pretty sure it was the 5 hour distance but why call someone ethereal and captivating only to lose interest twenty minutes later.

It’s always the guys who can write in full sentences.

Not the ones who just write “sup” for three days straight.

Hey #fitnesschallengebuddies !

Tomorrow is the beginning of a new month. I don't know about all of you, but February was a low point for me. I slacked and ignored the challenge and pretty much stopped working out in general. In diets past, I would have let this send me into a shame spiral. While I admit I haven't been eating the healthiest, I wouldn't call this a spiral. I want to learn to be gentle with myself, and not shame spiral anymore, so I was thinking maybe March could be a reset button for some of us? I'm cleaning out my food environment today, and pledging to keep March simple by re-doing the lunges challenge, in addition to getting out and starting to walk more. Any of my other #fitnesschallengebuddies with me?
