Food. Movement. Rest. That’s the secret.
Let’s be honest—if we managed our kids’ lives the way we sometimes manage our own, CPS would probably show up. 😂
Think about it:
Our kids have routines. Meals. Naps. Soccer practice. Bedtime.
Everything is planned, protected, and prioritized.
But when it comes to us?
We’re over here skipping meals, running on caffeine, collapsing into bed at midnight, and wondering why we can’t seem to lose the weight.
It’s not a motivation problem. It’s a planning problem.
And once I realized that—everything changed.
Here’s the truth no one wants to say out loud:
If you want results, you have to start treating your goals with the same respect you give your family’s calendar.
So let me break it down for you—the 3 things I started scheduling like they were non-negotiable appointments:
1. Food: Fuel Yourself On Purpose
You wouldn’t let your kid skip lunch and then be shocked when they’re hangry at 4 p.m.
But how many times have you skipped meals, then binged in the pantry after a long day?
Start simple:
- Plan 3 meals + 1-2 snacks.
- Include protein at every meal (seriously, it’s a game changer).
- Don’t wait until you’re starving—that’s when decisions go sideways.
When food is an afterthought, it becomes a problem.
When it’s planned, it becomes fuel.
2. Movement: Schedule It Like a Practice
You wouldn’t just “see how the day goes” when it comes to your kid’s soccer game.
So stop doing that with your workouts.
Here’s what worked for me:
- I picked a consistent time block I could protect.
- I started with just 20-30 minutes—no all-or-nothing nonsense.
- I treated it like a meeting. It’s not optional. It’s on the calendar.
Your body craves movement. Your mind needs the release. And your goals? They depend on it.
3. Rest: Protect Your Peace
I used to wear exhaustion like a badge of honor—until I realized it was holding me back.
Your body doesn’t change when you’re working out.
It changes when you’re recovering.
- Prioritize 7-8 hours of sleep when you can.
- Take rest days without guilt.
- Build in quiet time. Even if it’s 10 minutes alone in your car.
You can’t pour from an empty cup—and burnout won’t get you to your goals faster.
From One Busy Mom to Another…
You’re doing everything for everyone else.
But you matter too.
Planning your own meals, movement, and rest isn’t selfish—it’s smart.
Because when you feel good, everyone around you benefits.
