5 Ways to be off track

My weeks can be super busy and have little room for the unexpected. My typical schedule looks like this:

Monday Bible Study
Tuesday Tae Kwon do for my son
Wednesday Tae Kwon Do again
Thursday Youth Group
Friday Family night (I protect those!!)

During the day we homeschool. My son is in 8th grade so our homeschool schedule is pretty packed. I also take care of my beachbody business, house chores and ministry work. If I do not stick to a schedule, I can easily find myself doing a million thing and not checking off anything my to do list.

Are you like that to? I have always love the saying "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail". It is kinda one of my motto.

As I embarked on this health journey I quickly realized that I had to manage my time even better. I had to plan my workouts, plan my meals and even plan my rest time.

If I did not plan, I failed....

So I plan.

I found out that there are 5 ways I can sabotage my fitness routine:

1. My priorities are off: I plan to workout in the morning and I do. Unless it is an emergency, other things can wait. My workout only last 30 minutes. Facebook can wait, the dog can wait. 
2. I do not plan my meals. When I do not plan my meals, I eat the wrong thing or too much. Trying to follow the eating plan is not the same as planning my day according to the eating plan.
3. I get sidetracked. I can easily get lost in my facebook feed or instagram pictures. I can waste a lot of time on Pinterest looking up healthy recipes and workout tips. I have to set a timer on and force myself to move on to the next item on my list.
4. I go to bed late. This one is a big one and I touch on this here.  When I am tired, I am cranky and I am hungry.
5. I compare myself with others. There will always be someone else who is more successful, stronger, leaner, healthier etc... Comparing myself to others can discourage me and make me want to give up. I only need to compare myself to my older self. 

So here is my meal plan for the week. I plan it and I prep it. Then no matter what happens I know this is taken care of.

Here is my plan for this week
