Let’s face it. Early morning workday workouts are tough. Pressing snooze always sounds like a better idea. Squeezing it in after work enters the mind.
But…you want/need/have to get it done before work. Here is another tip in preparation to making those early morning workday workouts more manageable.
Make your lunch (and/or breakfast/snacks) the night before
This isn’t allows fun to do after a long day at work and/or a longer day at work plus after work activity but the reward of completion is huge in the morning when you are trying to get out the door for your workout!
I pack my lunch (and breakfast) for the next day every evening while making dinner. I think of it as successful multitasking 🙂 Lately, we’ve been making a dinner with leftovers for the following night, so we’ll make two lunches at a time, which is awesome on the night little prep is needed.
I’m a creature of habit so I eat the same thing for breakfast and lunch every day so our grocery list is very consistent week after work – basically only switching up the veggies and protein we plan to make for dinner.
One addition tip is to leave any condiments at work (if possible at your work setting) so your lunch bag is lighter every day (and one less thing to remember)! I use homemade salad dressing and make put a week’s worth in a small mason jar and leave at work throughout the week.
I know others who do a week’s worth of lunch/meal prep every Sunday so they don’t need to deal with pack
Find what works best for you – possibility through a little trial and error – and try it!
