If you lose motivation by mid-week, make your habits EASIER.
I had this conversation with a client the other day.
She totally crushes the beginning of the week. She hits her macros, has her meals prepped, goes to the gym, drinks her water, gets her sleep… but by Thursday/Friday she loses steam.
She’s run out of meals, she’s lax on her bedtime routine, she opts to scroll Instagram instead of going for a walk, and her macro tracking becomes less consistent…
I get it!
That mid-week drag is REAL, but there are some easy ways to overcome it!
Get a mid-week grocery delivery – this way you have new snacks and ingredients to create fresh, exciting meals.
And then do a mini food prep on Wednesday or Thursday to get you through the weekend with healthy choices. Just cook extras when you’re making dinner!
Keep your breakfast simple and consistent – Repetition can be a good thing and if you prep and track all your breakfasts for the week you know you’re off to a good start each day.
Find a buddy – if you struggle to get a workout in on Thursday or Friday, enlist a friend to meet you so you have more accountability to show up. Or book yourself into a group exercise class.
Enjoy the process and be kind to yourself – you’re going to have ‘off’ days and it’s important to not let them impact the following days, every morning is a fresh start.
Most likely there are things you’re doing during the week that, with just a few adjustments, can be streamlined so they don’t feel like hard work. Look for the things you struggle with the most, assess if they’re essential, then find some work-arounds so that you can ensure you can easily tick them off the list without losing your mind.
When motivation wanes, think about how you can make things EASIER.
Do you seem to lose steam towards the end of the week? What are your biggest challenges around week-to-week consistency?
