It’s summertime! The heat and humidity make the days and nights run together. The mosquitoes are in full hatch, and the flowers are in full bloom. The Royals are in mid-season, the Soccer Teams are on the pitch, and the KC Chiefs will begin training camp. I have decided it’s not too late to start my New Year’s Resolution in August. I am eager to incorporate healthy food and activity choices into my life as I pursue a healthier lifestyle.
Here are the new resolutions I will introduce into my weekly schedule: Become more active, target my weak areas, and work hard to make my body stronger. I will have more fun with meal preparation, I will not take away, but rather add new taste and nutrition. As the crops start to mature, I will look to incorporate plentiful and fresh ingredients into my meal prep. I will adjust the frequency of consuming foods that I really enjoy, but may not be the healthiest for me. However, I will not stop eating my favorites altogether, after all, life is to be enjoyed.
It’s time to do for me! My August New Year’s Resolution is officially happening!
MOVEMENT MONDAY: I will challenge myself by remaining physically active every day, incorporating new activities that challenge me. While at the office, I will get up from my desk 3-4 times per day to stretch or go on a short walk.
TASTY TUESDAY: This day, I will dedicate myself to preparing well-rounded, healthy meals. I will not allow myself to cheat my goals by consuming high-calorie food. Tuesday will also be meatless, and there will be an exploration of plant protein meals. I will begin to instill the MIND diet into my food prep choices to promote my brain health.
WOBBLE WEDNESDAY: I will introduce lifestyle choices that will help keep my life in balance, both physically and mentally.
TIME OUT THURSDAY: Sixty minutes a day will be dedicated to myself, and I will put my phone and computer in sleep mode. Then I will do something fun; the sky is the limit.
FUN DAY FRIDAY: Dedicate my time to myself and enjoy moments with family and friends. I will be happy.
I plan to add these goals into my daily life throughout the week. After all, life is all based on CHOICES.
