There is nothing like having a 9am workout planned and having a last-minute meeting pop up or someone from work need something asap! Get into the habit of having a back-up workout time just in case things get crazy or specifically block out a time in your schedule that is non-negotiable for you to get a workout in.

Tip #2: Meal Prep

We all know this one…but putting it into action is a little hard sometimes. I always suggest prepping individual ingredients vs meals because it gives you a little more flexibility day to day. Plan out prepping 2 different items for each category of protein, carbohydrates, healthy fats, and vegetables to have a wide variety to choose from!

Tip #3: When in Doubt go to the Basics

Meal prepping is a great thing, but sometimes it just doesn’t work out. Going back to the basics when trying to find something outside of your planned meals is ideal. Aim for high-protein meals or on-the-go snacks to keep you more satisfied during a busy work day. Order extra veggies on the side or substitute the usual sides with some mixed fruit.

Tip #4: Never Let Yourself get too Hungry

Hunger is our body’s signal of letting us know we need more fuel to keep going! Pushing past that hunger can cause your body to want food even more. This causes you to ‘go all out’ when you finally get the chance to eat. Keep simple snacks on hand in case a meeting keeps you from your lunch or you just don’t have time at the moment to eat your full meal. Choose items that will keep your energy up and your brain function on-point while trying to smash through the work day.

No one said prioritizing health and fitness goals would be easy, but these tips can for sure make it easier. Try some of these out this week and see how much better you feel about staying on-top of your goals even when you're busy!
