Show Notes

Something really important to keep in mind as you take steps to live a healthier, badass life is that even the health, wellness, and fitness professionals have bad habits or don't always do the things they "should" do. 

In this episode, I talk about the following bad habits that I'm working on - or plan to work on:

  1. Eliminating (or vastly reducing) how much soda I drink.
    • Identify easy and convenient - water-based - alternatives.
    • Avoid soda by not keeping it in the house and only ordering soda during social outings.
    • Focus on a different goal that will counter this habit: Drink more water!
  2. Eliminating (or vastly reducing) how often I order from GrubHub or buy nutrient-deficient microwavable foods (particularly microwave burritos... don't judge me). 
    • Start ordering groceries to be delivered (avoid impulse buys). If that's not an option...
    • Write out a shopping list and stick to it! If that's not enough, eat before going grocery shopping so you're not tempted by your hunger. Or, drink a big glass of water... you'll move faster and stay a bit more focused if you need to pee. But be sure you have your list handy so you don't forget anything!
    • Delete the GrubHub app and make sure I have quick and easy meal-prepped food ready to go.
  3. Quit hitting the friggin' snooze button non-stop for an hour before finally getting up.
    • Put my alarm across the room and set it for the latest time possible to get up and still be on time.
    • Go to bed earlier and fine-tune my evening routine for a better night's sleep.
    • Try a sunrise alarm clock (without the obnoxious noise - just the light).

Spoiler alert: This last one is on my list of habits I know I need to address. BUT! I haven't actually started tackling this one yet. It's on my radar, and I share some thoughts about what I plan to do to work on this. But for now, the first two are my top priorities because I think they are going to be most beneficial to change in my life.

I hope this episode gives you some ideas for some of your own habits that you're looking to improve upon!
