Stick To The Script...

I was talking to a new trainee the other day regarding how to go about making better nutritional choices and how to integrate fitness. It's really all about scheduling and routine. Did you ever notice that the most consistent activities we all do is going to work. Because we know that we need to practice good attendance in order to keep our jobs and maintain our cash flow, we allow nothing but severe illness to get in the way of getting to work. How come, then, when it comes to our own health, we skip workouts and fail to maintain a nutrititous diet? If this sounds like you, then make a change by scheduling yourself as far as waking, eating, working out, and sleeping around your work schedule. You will find that you are more productive because you have prepared to do these things. An old saying that supports this is: "Fail to plan; plan to fail"

I personally do this and here is one of my typically scheduled workdays (when jasmine is off work):

8:00 am wake
8:30 am breakfast smoothie, make omelette for jasmine, blog, home office time
10:00 am workout
12:00 pm recovery drink, shower, shave, dress for work
12:30 pm lunch power shake
1:00 pm leave for work
2:00 pm work
4:00 pm snack nutrition bar
6:00 pm dinner (salad, wrap, or vegetable bowl)
10:00 pm leave work
11:30 pm arrive home, shower, personal time
12:30 pm sleep

Now, obviously the times aren't exact every day, but I do try to adhere to this schedule. Make your health a priority and try this technique to "stick to the script". Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!
