SEPTEMBER HEALTH LOCK-INšŸ”āœ…

EAT BETTER, NOT PERFECT

I was talking with a colleague the other day, and he, a Gen Z, told me his blood pressure skyrocketed and sent him to the emergency room.

The discussion shifted to diet and habits, and he told me he doesn’t cook and sometimes would order Whataburger- a burger brand as early as 4 a.m.

He is a ā€˜hard worker’ too, one who almost never takes a break.

I looked at him empathetically and asked about the changes he’s made since his recent diagnosis, and he said he has improved his diet. I encouraged him to set aside at least a whole day each week to rest, possibly meal prep for the days ahead, and get at least 6 to 8 hours of sleep daily.

I watched closely as he ordered lunch, and it was great enough: a chicken salad plate filled with vegetables.

I was happy and prayed he would keep it up.

It’s never too late to make that change; it must not be drastic, too.

Start small,
Cook your own meals; this way you can track what is going into it
Add vegetables to every meal
Eat whole fruits and vegetables; this feels faster than juice.
Read food labels; know what you are eating
Healthy portioning; do not be an Oliver Twist, always wanting some more.

Gradually adjust your taste buds and appetite, and your body will forever be grateful.

SEPTEMBER HEALTH LOCK-INšŸ”āœ…

Move MorešŸš¶šŸš¶ā€ā™‚ļø
Life doesn’t wait! Your health is in constant motion!

Move too!!
It doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg. The ridiculous gym membership isn’t the only way to move your body.

Simple physical activities like
*Cleaning the house
* Walking around while talking on the phone
*Parking a little farther from the mall entrance
*Time-walk- intentionally walking at least 10 to 20 minutes three times a week or more.

Aim to increase your daily steps gradually
Regular movement supports your heart, muscles, bones, mood, sleep, blood sugar control, and overall health.

This September, don’t focus only on ā€œworking outā€ or ā€œthe gym membership.ā€ Focus on becoming more active and less sedentary.

Small movements. Every day. They add up. ā¤ļø
Today’s challenge: Add just 10 extra minutes of movement to your day.

Odiegwu! I’m forever an enemy of cosmetic surgery, especially when it really doesn’t have any correlation with improving your health!

Build your confidence in what you have; don't be pressured, and don’t pressure yourself. If it doesn’t treat a disease or improve your functionality in any way, leave it!
May his soul continue to rest in peace.

SEPTEMBER HEALTH LOCK-INšŸ”āœ…

DRINK WATER!

Why are you running away from what makes up approximately 60% of your body?
Oh, I see! You prefer coffee, juice, tea; you’ve even had SODA!!!
But Water? That’s where you draw the linešŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

Wake up! Drink!
Carry a water bottle!
Drink between meals!
Swap some comfort-sugary drinks for water!

Water isn't the side guy; it is as important as that home-cooked meal!

We locked in for better habits this September; let’s get it!

September goal: To Hydrate! To Drink water! To become better!

Now drink some water. Yes, YOU.

THE SEPTEMBER HEALTH LOCK-INšŸ”āœ…

September has 30 days. One day has passed, but we can start on day 2 today.

What if you intentionally gave your body 30 days of care and watched what happened?

NO RULES! NO DIET RESTRICTIONS! NO CRAZY EXERCISE ROUTINE! NO PROCRASTINATION!
Just start today, now, and show up for yourself for the rest of the month.

LET’S LOCK IN THIS MONTH šŸ”’

1. DRINKšŸ’¦ WATER: one glass more daily than you did the month before.

2. MOVE MOREšŸš¶ā€ā™€ļøšŸš¶šŸæā€ā™‚ļø: Walking, running, jumping, dancing- move!

3. EAT BETTER šŸ„— : Consciously incorporate vegetables and fruits into your diet; eat less processed food.

4. REST-ZUO IKE! šŸ›ŒšŸ˜“Your body knows when it needs to rest; stop overworking it. Sleep for 7–9 hours when possible.

5. CHECK UP šŸ„šŸ©ŗ Your doctor should be your friend, not your enemy; visit them!

6. PRIORITIZE YOUR MENTAL HEALTH🧠Set healthy boundaries, protect your peace, take breaks, pray, Journal. Talk to someone, breathe, and live.

7. BREAK ONE UNHEALTHY HABIT šŸ„‚šŸš¬šŸ“µ: Don’t beat yourself up on it; one day at a time, a win for 60minutes becomes an hour win and then a day win, a week win, a month win, and ultimately a win for a lifetime! You don’t have to fix everything at once. Choose ONE habit that isn’t serving your health and work on it this month.

***THE RULE***

Don’t chase perfection.

Miss a day? Continue.
Ate something you didn’t plan to? Continue.
Didn’t exercise? Continue.
One imperfect day does not cancel your progress.
By September 30th, the goal isn’t to become an entirely new person.
The goal is to be able to say:
ā€œI took better care of my health this month than I did last month.ā€ ā¤ļø

ARE YOU LOCKING IN WITH ME?

Comment ā€œLOCKED IN šŸ”’āœ…ā€ and choose at least 1 health habit you’re committing to this September.

05/31/2025

It’s the constant high jump.

The pressure the woman goes through to survive in the society generation after generation.

It never ends.

It’s okay to wait, and it’s still okay to hope.
If money is not a problem, seek ā€˜solution’ in advance.

Overall, do not let it be a source of worry and frustration in your season of waiting.

05/25/2025

God is still God! Amen!

05/22/2025

Be graceful to yourself and take one day at a time.
It took a while to form those habits, so might as well take a while to do away with it

05/22/2025

Stay away from Triggers!

Could be friends, environment, whatever fuels the craving, should be starved
