Today, just like the past few days has really been a struggle for me, and I am sure everyone else! My original plan for todays post was all about my school schedule and athletic schedule with lots of pictures and descriptions. But the recent outbreak has led me to be at home without a gym, class, or a cafeteria to get my healthy 3 meals in a day!
It really is not all that hard to be healthy at home, we just are too lazy for the most part. As long as we are smart about what we are doing. What I have noticed is it is really easy to procrastinate while at home, or choose the wrong thing because stuff is easily accessible.
For example, I have lots of goodies and treats at the house, and full access to Netflix and the news.
But what I need to be doing is stalking up on good healthy foods and making sure I get in somewhat of a workout with what is available to me. I personally have some gym equipment at my house because we try to be a pretty active family, if not that’s okay too! It is easy to go outside for a run or a walk, just great to get fresh air and finally get up from watching what girl Pilot Pete will pick.
Also while being home with nothing to do, we get bored easily, and what is our tendency? To snack!! If this is the route you tend to take that is okay, as long as you are snacking on the right healthy things. Fruit is probably one of my favorite things to snack on, if you are buying the right kind its enjoyable, or even try to dip it in some peanut butter, or veggies in some ranch is always a great snack as well.
Both of these things are honestly fun if you do them the right way; Working out can be a challenge without equipment of course, and running can get old. Finding things around the house you can use to workout with is always an adventure as well, and can be fun to get your family involved!
If you have any questions about certain activities or meal ideas while stuck at home leave a comment or shoot me a text! See y’all next week.
