Hello SheThrive enthusiasts! Hope your all well and enjoyed the lazy summer days over the last couple of weeks or if you have been juggling even more due to school holidays then Im sure you’re like many of us were we can look back on adventures had but also looking forward to a little more routine in the household 😉.
There is something about the turn of a season which brings with it a sense of reflectiveness, renewed energy and excitement for what the next few months may bring. In clinic, September is one of my busy months which I love. It’s the time of year where we have enjoyed the Summer, relaxed the rules and for some, healthy habits that come from routine have well and truly been left back in July. All perfectly normal and as Mel Robbins – motivational speaker once said, ‘if you don’t come through summer 5lb heavier than you haven’t enjoyed it’. Not too sure if I agree with her but we get the gist of what she was relaying – Summer SHOULD be enjoyed, and routine can be relaxed to have fun with friends and loved ones – now that I agree with! This is why September is busy for me with women reaching out looking for motivational support which I’m always happy to provide.
So, if you’re reading this and thinking that you’ve let it all go over the Summer and feeling uninspired, lacking energy and don’t know where to start in your elasticating waist band then this week’s newsletter is for you ❤️.
One of the habits that I instil in my clients is the need to plan and prepare. If you want to make healthy changes and FEEL in control, then you need to GET in control. When it comes to nutritional changes, meal planning is the first step. Without a plan, its left to chance, circumstances, emotions as to what and how you eat. When we have had busy days and lacking energy and creativity, even the best intentions can unravel quickly when we look in the fridge and realise, we haven’t got the ingredients for a particular recipe. It at those times where we reach for ease and convenience which is usually fast releasing carbohydrates which will leave you feeling even worse.
So what is the simple solution as we try and get back to feeling our pre Summer best? The answer is simple – Meal Planning. Yes, you need to carve a little time into your week to sit down and plan yours and your family’s meals but believe me when I say, it’s going to save you time, energy and brain space trying to scramble meals together and failing to eat the way you want and deserve to eat to nourish your brain and body. It’s a healthy habit that truly does keep you on the straight and narrow and gets you feeling in control quickly.
