It's all about consistency.
It’s all about consistency. In everything you do. If there is anything I have learned throughout my journey it is to be consistent. With my food. Workouts. Meal Planning/Prep. Me time. Family. Devotion. Quite moments. All of it!
I have felt myself get more laxed here lately. I truly believe that is why I have struggled the past couple of months. I know what to do. How to do it. But finding it’s just plain hard sometimes. We were not meant to live perfectly without fault. I have not be consistent with my food, down time, looking for new recipes, and just going through the motions. I have a tendency to make excuses and fall into bad habits.
Food planning and prepping have truly saved my sanity. There is nothing like getting up in the morning. Preparing my lunch bad and everything that I need for the day is ready to grab and go. It’s not hard to do but it takes time. Finding time to do the time consuming things gives you extra time when life gets hectic. I notice on weeks I do not take time to write down my weekly menu and prep my food that my eating becomes messy. That’s not how I lost my weight and maintained for 2 1/2 years. Then it clicks. Stop being too busy. Lazy. Undisciplined. If I want to live healthier, happier and stronger I have to do the simple steps to be successful.
Today I will write down my weekly menu. Plan out my week. Prepare a shopping list. Order my groceries for pick up. All to prepare for my fav day of the week. Food Prep Sunday. It can be daunting at times. I get tired of it. Some days I just don’t want to do it. But I have to. I will be thankful I did.
This week I will take time to read. Enjoy my morning cup of coffee and devotion. Track every bite. Weigh and measure my food. Cook really good dinners for my fam. Workout hard. Rest when needed. Pray. Have sweet conversations with my babes. Listen to a new worship song. Put down my phone (thank you Stef for the reminder xoxo). Soak in God’s blessings. Plan. Prepare. Be CONSISTENT. And most important BE HAPPY.
She sets about her work Vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks. Proverbs 31:17
