Too busy to plan?
Often my week has a theme running through it when it comes to my clients and this week is no different.
It seems everyone is super busy right now and the first thing to fail seems to be planning, pre-preparing foods, gym bags etc ahead of time.
I can't stress strongly enough that when you are busy it is even more crucial to take the time to plan ahead, pre-prepare foods, pack your gym bag and whatever else you can do to help you get through the week more easily and come out the other end not having dropped the ball on good nutrition and training.
In a busy week if you don't take the time to do the small things it is very easy to spiral out of control and undo some of the good work you have done so far.
Spending 30 or 40 minutes planning and pre-cooking can mean the difference between and good week and a bad week.
I know it can be hard to get your head around finding the extra time to do this when you are already flat out but the time spent is paid back tenfold.
Another thing that slips into steady decline is eating small regular healthy meals; again when you are busy and need a bunch of energy it is even more important to discipline yourself to make sure you get the nutrition you need when you need it.
Making time to take good care of yourself is never a wasted effort.
Rather than run yourself ragged and getting by on coffee and biscuits to keep you going give yourself the gift of taking care of yourself so you can power on and not fall in a heap at the end of it all.
Discipline is the key really; be tough with yourself and force yourself to do the little things you know will make a big difference to your week.
You will be thanking your lucky stars you did once your week starts to unfold and everything is in place to make it a lot less messy.
