Kickstart Your Weight Loss: 30% Off New Memberships!
Staying at home (all day, every day) has become a new reality for many. If you’re adjusting to the #stayhome life, keeping your usual routines can provide a sense of control during a time of uncertainty. If you’re working on adopting a new routine, this can also create the opportunity to form new health-promoting habits that align with your goals and values. Above all else, remember to give yourself some grace as you adjust, and avoid the all-or-nothing mentality. Reflect on ways your new routine is beneficial in helping you reach your goals.
To help you stay healthy (and sane) while being cooped up at home, our Profile coaches have created a list of 6 tips:
Stick to a healthy eating routine during this time and stock up on long-lasting, nutritious pantry staples. Here is how you can create a “Profile-friendly” meal:
Planning and prepping your meals can help keep you in a routine. Here are some steps to take to fill your days with foods that fuel your body:
When you keep track of your behaviors, you hold yourself accountable. Here is how you can self-monitor:
Piggybacking off the last point above, it’s important to learn how to listen to your body. Are you recognizing when you’re full? Do you stop eating before you reach a point of discomfort? Checking in with how your body feels and your hunger level throughout the day and during a meal can keep you feeling fueled and prevent you from overeating.
Right now, you may be anxious or perhaps you’re bored as cabin fever sets in. Whatever you’re feeling, navigating between hunger and using food in response to your emotions is challenging. (Even more so when your fridge is just a few steps away.) This is when bringing awareness to what your body needs is important.
Instead of creating a fail-or-pass system, try making choices based on what you believe is best for your body and mind. If that means adding veggies to your omelet, add away. If that means a few pieces of chocolate after dinner, you do you. Minimize distractions while you enjoy the food you want. Turn the TV off and pay attention to the food in front of you and how it makes you feel.
As you find freedom with food, ask a Profile coach for more mindful eating resources that can help you recognize pleasure and satiety while eating.
We are all creatures of habit. When our routines are thrown off, building new habits can help us stay on track with our health goals. Here is how you can create a habit:
For example, your alarm goes off in the morning, you get out of bed, and you get an early morning workout done. For a habit to form, you must create a habit loop.
