July lived up to its ‘blissfully boring’ intention. I was basically a hobbit, only venturing out for walks and my weekly tennis lessons. I liked it. And I probably should’ve ventured out more. August is a transition month. We head back to New York in the middle of the month to settle back into city life and to reconnect with friends. I’ve settled on ‘flexible’ as my theme—I want to stay committed to my habits, and be adaptable to fit them in wherever I can. Hobby StackingYou’ve probably heard of habit stacking from Atomic Habits. Hobby stacking in my spin on it: it’s how I combine two of the things I want to do. Here are some of the hobby stacks that I’ve been enjoying:
Do you have a hobby stack that brings you joy and some level of peace? I’d love to know. August’s workout planI’m maintaining the same split schedule as last month, and changed up the workouts August’s strength split (and starting weights)
August’s cardio plan My daily step count was pathetic last month (averaging around 4,000, some days I barely hit 2,500). I’m recommitting to 7,000 steps a day, and plan to start my workout with a 1 mile walk (either outside or on the treadmill). I’m playing tennis twice a week while I’m still in Pennsylvania, and plan to take a weekly HITT classes with Tennis Innovators once I’m back in the city. I also signed up for weekly lessons starting in September. MealsHere’s a quick refresher on my meal prep: I rotate between the following three breakfasts:
Lunch is a Splendid Spoon meal, or leftovers from the night before. We keep the same general menu for dinner:
How are you taking care of yourself this month? I’d love to know what you’re cooking, how you’re moving, and what’s bringing you joy right now.
