Today we are starting “Strong 30” – which is a program I made up π
Since I picked up bad COVID habits (smoking, drinking, being massive sad girl)… I’ve decided to revamp my life and suck up 30 days of work in hopes of kick starting healthier habits.
Maybe you don’t smoke, maybe you (also like me) take in too much caffeine, maybe you just need an excuse to stop beign caught up in the lazy depression haze of COVID. If so, join me!
Here’s how I have outlined the Strong 30:
- no nicotine
- caffeine intake under 500 mg
- turn off screens by 9:30 pm
- do work stuff during work hours, and home stuff and errands over lunch or after work
- no alcohol Sunday through Friday night
- 30-60 min of exercise every day
- Spend a minimum of 5 min learning a day
- Get 2 “to-do” items done every day
- Think happy
Nicotine is just a great way to feel something during these numbing times. Never pick up a cig if you haven’t already.
Caffeine is a toughie. I have steadily increased intake, so this goal, for me, this means 2 pre-workout scoops for ~130 mg caffeine, 2 cups of coffee for ~280 mg, and the rest from either tea or decaf drinks.
The other stuff are just bad habits that have crept in or good habits that have crept out.
I’ll try to clean this up to make it a program anyone can follow, and maybe there are options to build version of it. Like: strong 30 fitness or strong 30 mindset.
Anyways, may your Monday be strong! π
