University Life; Fitting Fitness In

2 comments
As you know, I've recently started University and you may remember from this post that I was nervous about how I was going to continue my health and fitness journey.

Now I'll be honest and admit that I haven't kick-started my regime in the way I would have liked, but following on from my last post about #NoExcusesOctober I have devised a plan and I'm going to share it with you all so you too can adapt to University Life, or any change in environment. 

Looking to continue this progress!
Firstly, you may recall that I joined the gym on campus. I am living off of campus and this gym is further away than the one I was previously a member of. I considered this to be risky and since starting at Uni I have debated whether or not I made the right decision. 

Further to this when I have planned to workout in the evenings, studying or social events have gotten in the way.

To combat this I am going to re-commit myself to Booty Calls! I love Booty Calls because you know that you can get a workout in before your day gets in the way. I need to stop being reluctant to get up and out of bed early, set an alarm and get in the gym. I can do this and am more than capable of doing so. This is action plan numero uno!

Secondly, I am going to begin packing my meals instead of buying them on campus. Not only will I save money this way but will also ensure that I have healthy options available as well as knowing exactly what has gone in to my food. Action plan numero dos.

Thirdly, I will continue to plan but more specifically so. I can't go into a workout, now, when time really is of the essence, without a detailed plan. I need to know exactly what workouts I'm going to do and for how long. I'm going to take the opportunity of a relatively quiet Sunday night to do so for the entire week. 

That's it. This plan needs to be simple in order to ensure I stick to it. I have no intention of gaining any weight but losing it. I will not gain the Freshman 15 but I will lose it. 

Do you have a plan like this? How do you fit your healthy lifestyle in around work and school?

  1. I'd say it's 3 good things to do to stay in shape at university. When I had regular classes on campus, I could fit in late workouts too. But you've found the 3 big WIN :)

  2. I've tried planning so many times but it always blows up in my face and I end up worse off... I think I have to begin learning to go with the flow. I usually workout in the morning since I have no classes then but as far as eating goes I don't think meal plans work for me. Good luck for you though :)
