School is back, which means my days look a little different again! But one thing that isn’t changing? I’m still prioritizing my health, nutrition, and, of course, showing up for my 1:1 nutrition clients.
Because I know I’m not the only one adjusting to a new routine right now. Whether you’re back in the classroom, working full time, running kids from one thing to the next, or juggling all of the above, nutrition can quickly become the thing that gets pushed to the side. But a busy schedule doesn’t mean your goals have to go with it.
Here are 5 things I’m focusing on as I get back into my school routine:
1️⃣ Protein first. Starting my day with a protein packed breakfast makes the rest of my day so much easier.
2️⃣ Keep easy options on hand. Protein yogurt, cottage cheese, meat sticks, fruit, veggies & Greek yogurt dip — nothing fancy, just things I can grab when the day gets hectic.
3️⃣ Keep the water bottle close. If it’s sitting next to me, I’m drinking it. Simple as that. 😂 (also find a favorite cup that you actually drink from, not just a pretty one.)
4️⃣ Pack a lunch that actually keeps me full. Protein, carbs, fats & some fruits or veggies. A salad that leaves me starving an hour later isn’t helping.
5️⃣ Think ahead. I don’t need an entire Sunday spent meal prepping, but taking a few minutes at night to pack my lunch, prep breakfast, or plan tomorrow’s meals makes a HUGE difference.
Your routine might change with the season, but that doesn’t mean your goals need to take a backseat. Sometimes we just need to adjust HOW we’re showing up.
And if you’re heading into this busy season knowing you could use some accountability and a plan that actually works with your schedule, I would love to talk about my 1:1 coaching opportunities.
