30-Day Reset: Game On

Last month was a lot. I managed a gala that raised $1 million at The Plaza, and while it went very well, it meant I worked many extra hours. While the extra hours were anticipated, I had less time to do the things I needed to do in order to stick to a healthy lifestyle of meal prepping, exercising and eating at home. In April, there were many late nights with pad thai and Chipotle burrito bowls with chips; I drank more coffee than even Lorelai Gilmore could handle and I spent less time at the gym than I would have liked. I need to reset.

So, today, I am starting a month long venture to get back to my healthy habits. The guidelines are as follows:

1. There shall be no ordering in. I can dine out with friends, but must make good choices. I also can eat at Chipotle once a week; however, I must pass on the chips (God help me).
2. I will workout three times a week and go to yoga class once a week. I think this is manageable, but will definitely be challenging to work into my schedule.
3. I must meal prep on Sundays… I must, I must, I must.
4. While I do most of my reading on the train, I would like to spend more time reading at home and less time binging shows on Netflix. Planning for two hours of additional reading a week.
5. I am on a daily medication to replace the hormones that regulate the thyroid and am supposed to take additional supplements (vitamins D and B12 and calcium) as well. I forgot to take my vitamins every day last week—not ideal. So the final guideline is to get back on track.

My goal isn’t to lose weight or fit into my skinny jeans. I simply want to treat my body better than I have been and feel good. I will document my progress right here on the blog, hopefully once a week.

Till then,
