Being healthy requires planning.
We hear it all the time. People either put off a new healthy lifestyle or quickly abandon one because of the time it takes to plan things out. Meals for home and work need to be planned, grocery store trips - sometimes going to multiple stores to get the healthiest foods, what to eat at a restaurant or party, scheduling time to exercise, having the right shoes and gear, where to exercise, and what to do there. Maybe a babysitter needs to be hired. Maybe there are multiple family members to cook for who eat at different times each night. Maybe a plan is needed on how to get everyone to sit down at the same time. The list goes on.
On the flip side, it doesn't take much time to decide which drive thru line to join, which candy bar or soda to pick up at the convenience store, which tv show to watch and which seat to watch it from.
It's true. A lot of planning goes into a healthy lifestyle and it can require a good amount of time. It can sound a bit exhausting. But after a while, there are favorite healthy meals and knowing what gym or trail to go to becomes second nature. Plus, a new sense of strength, vitality and overall health that provides more energy to spend on living a healthy life and tons of other exciting experiences. Isn't a long, healthy and fun life worth a little time spent planning? I definitely think so.
