| My Weekly Calendar - How I Plan my Week |
"Prior Preparation and Planning Prevents Poor Performance"
Otherwise known to me as the 6 P's - quoted by a favourite High School teacher. I've lived by this saying since he first taught it to me two years ago and it hasn't failed me yet.
I've found it relates to almost every aspect of my life, in particular my Tone It Up life. I firmly believe that if you plan your week in advance you are much more likely to have success as you've got something written down. I don't always follow my plans to the letter but for example if I open my fridge at lunch time and there's a lot of (unhealthy) options I know that I can look at my plan and choose the right option. It's not a back-up, but it's there for moments of weakness!

| This week's plan (incomplete) |
I sit down every Sunday and write out what I'm going to have through the week. This also helps me know what I need to buy on my gap during college when I can go food shopping! I have this cool weekly planner that I actually found via Bridget Nicole's video which I'll link below. It's not massive so I can't go in to too much detail (as you can probably see from some of my abbreviations) but I'd much rather have a weekly plan than daily ones; I drown in paperwork from college I don't need even more!
Another handy tip is that I've laminated mine. So every Sunday I can wipe clean my calendar and write it all out again! It's much easier, cheaper and quicker than printing one out every week! (Although the wipe-off pens were a little pricey, I got mine from the local stationery shop) I write my Meals and proposed workouts for the week in (colour coded = OCD!) but I do tend to leave Saturday and Sunday blank and see what inspiration hits me!
I do find that making a plan makes me much more disciplined and therefore much more likely to eat right and workout as I've got some inspiration and ideas there in front of me! The hardest part about planning is Sunday afternoon when it comes to choosing what to do!
I'll leave you with Bridget's video - she has some great organisational tips! I'll also link my calendar :)
Share, Love, Inspire, Sweat!
