The week ahead will f i n a l l y bring us into 2021! I know we all have trust issues about another “new year”, but I have some do-them-now tips to start off on your best foot.
- Clear out your to-do list.
If you have items that have been sitting on your to-do list for ages, maybe just delete them altogether? If you’re stuck on them because they’re too big, delete the big item and write down the next tiny step. - Maybe don’t set a resolution about losing weight/getting in shape – maybe set a goal to get your waist under 32″ if you’re female (for health, not aesthetics), or to try a certain new workout, or to do something good for yourself for 10 minutes every day, because those goals are better for you and more achievable since you have a fixed (and simple) endpoint.
- If you are thinking about your nutrition, I have over 25 myfitnesspal video tutorials that I’ve made over the years based on real issues that my clients deal with.
- If you’re thinking of investing in a TRX for home, I’d keep an eye here for new year’s discounts. (I am a fan of the Pro even for home use because I think the grips are better, but they have some pretty sweet bundle deals on the Go if you don’t mind the other grips.)
- Grab your unlimited January group class pass now and get the last classes of December for free.
Want to make some changes but keep psyching yourself out? I have a few tips.
We have just 3 Zumba classes left this year + bootcamp Saturday morning at 9:30 – if you’ve been thinking about joining us online or at Levy Park this year, time is short!
What I’m meal prepping for next week:
- Leftovers of a soup very similar to this potato leek beauty
- Plenty of snack plates with olives, nuts, and whatever else is hanging around from this week’s feasts
- A big pan of roasted broccoli like this one (from frozen, bc that’s what I’ve got on hand) to go with whatever else comes up in my week
- Baked tofu: slice a block of (pressed, if you have time) tofu; place the slices in a baking dish and pour over a mix of oil (I like avocado or grapeseed for this), soy sauce or coconut aminos, and a little bit of onion or garlic powder, plus maybe a splash of apple cider vinegar. Bake at 350 or higher until crispy on the edges, at least 30 minutes but up to 90…I tend to throw this in at the start of my meal prep cooking and leave it until everything else is out so that it has a long time to get crispy and firm.
See you next week and probably before! Thanks for being here.
