So yesterday I posted here, about making goals. I had a hard time making some goals that were focused, and able to be measured. Today I am outlining how I am going to show myself I can make make some healthy habits stick, and focus. This is important to me- I will have a undetermined about of time that my husband is deployed, and staying focused while he is gone is going to be a sanity saver.
I hope you will join me! You can comment here, email me, whatever social media outlet you like – I would love for you to join me!
I am most successful when I go on my fitness journey with others. It provides accountability and support from each other, something I cannot find solo. Having people with me means that I’ll push myself, because I know that other people are counting on me and cheering me on. Explains why I enjoyed team sports. I went to the gym more when I knew a friend was waiting there for me.
I do know that October has 31 days, I just plan on using the last day to celebrate / plan Novembers goals.1. Training 2. Hydrating 3. Stretching 4. Nutrition
The unofficial 5th focus is on blogging each day of the challenge. This is hopefully what will keep me accountable- or I will hurry up and do it so I can post pictures
Training-
Over the next 30 days I will work towards my end goal of finishing my half marathons with proper training.
I will run or cross train 4 days a week at home or in the gym following my training plan over the next 30 days. ( I will post the weeks workouts on Sundays if you want to do them too! )
Hydrating-
I had cut soda out of my life, but vacation brought it back. So I need some more h2o in my life!
I will drink my daily recommendation of water by drinking a glass of water before each meal, and creating a timer on my phone when I should be drinking more water to ensure I am! Also- when I get sick of water, which I know I will- I will look for natural and healthy options. I have heard great things about Nuun! Let me know your tricks, and tips,I am in need of them!
Stretching-
I used to be bendy flexible, now touching my toes is hard! I hope to improve this to help with my running.
I will dust off my foam roller, use it once a day, for at least 5 minutes for the whole 30 days. BONUS- I will try not to post pictures of me crying/ whining about this goal. I will also be doing light stretching to accompany after foam rolling.
Nutrition
I am supposed to be avoiding gluten for Hashimoto’s Thyroid autoimmune disease – If you follow me on instagram, you know I do not. Not even a little.
I will work on my own to find easy meals to remove gluten from my life, and research one a week to try to implement in my life – creating a gluten free menu book of sorts for myself.
They might not all be super S.M.A.R.T. goals, but they are specific and all on deadlines of this challenge. Also- I wrote them down! It is supposed to help you keep focused on them if you write it and put it somewhere you go often. Please excuse my handwriting. ( I have terrible writing, this really is as good as it gets – oops)
I will try to make a prettier one for Pinterest soon, and it may or may not be for me to print out
Day one tomorrow! What healthy habits are you trying to make?
Remember- It only takes 21 days to make a habit! You got this!
