When you miss a day...

I forgot to blog yesterday! 

Over the years, I've learned that when you miss a day, the BEST thing you can do is just show up again the next day.

 

You don't need to punish yourself and do double.

And you don't need to add drama and shame yourself for being an imperfect human and say...

Our Weekend Ritual

A couple months ago, I was feeling kinda blah about our weekends because we weren't doing much. Sleeping in, and that was kinda it.

 

We decided to start hiking again. Nothing crazy. Nothing far. Just an hour hike here and there.

 

It's become something I look forward to on weekends. A...

The Road to 200lbs

I can't run very well right now. I haven't been able to run well for a bit, and it's frustrating because that is what I want to be doing.

 

But earlier this year, I declared that I wanted to see myself as a weight-lifter. And I started the Strong Lifts 5x5 plan.

 

As I got pretty...

Only show up on the days you want to...

If you only show up on the days you want to...

the truth is you (and I) would probably rarely show up. 

We would rarely take action.

 

You're not always going to want to take action.

You're not always going to want to go for a walk or head to the gym or eat some vegetables with your...

Track your daily actions

consistency habits Nov 18, 2023

If you aren't tracking already, you need to start!

Why:

1. It's going to take weeks, months, and years of repetition for your daily actions to pay off. It's helpful to see how long you've been going.

2. Seeing that you're taking action helps you take more action. You remind yourself you've...

I don't want to today...

I started a new habit of heading to the gym every night, and tonight I don't really want to!

 

But I also know I will feel really annoyed with myself if I don't go. 

I will feel resentful- I spend all day working and no time working on myself or my own goals.

I know going will help me...

Morning Movement

A few weeks ago, Paul and I started doing a 30-45 minute walk in the morning.

I love it because:

1. I get to move my body first thing which is just so crucial for my mental health.

2. I get to start the day by spending time with Paul. Sometimes we talk. Sometimes it is silent. Sometimes we hold...

Repetition with a New Mantra

consistency habits Nov 13, 2023

Yesterday I started my new habit of heading to the gym at 7pm, and it was great! There was no one there!! I got to use the equipment I wanted so easily. I was able to walk up and just start using it rather than standing in line or hovering or figuring out a plan B.

 

I'm headed to the gym in...

New Journal

consistency habits journal Nov 12, 2023

I created something for me, and now I want to share it with you! 

 

Years ago, I was struggling to start my work day. I was working on imperfecteating.com, felt imposter syndrome, and was dealing with my normal brain issues of not knowing how to start things.

 

I created 3-2-1...

Rewiring Your Brain with a New Mantra

beliefs consistency habits Nov 11, 2023

I am rereading the book You Are a Badass at Habits with one of my clients, and Jen Sincero recommends creating a mantra. It's been a while since I've done this type of work, and it's a great reminder.

We can't just focus on actions, but we also have to focus on our thoughts and our beliefs...
