Questions to answer to reflect on the week:
Were you able to track daily?
- If no, what got in the way of tracking daily?
- If no, what needs to happen in order for you to feel more comfortable tracking daily moving forward with this reset?
Did you weigh your portions sizes out, outside of travel/restaurant foods?
- If no, why not (be specific)?
Did you feel over or under prepared for tracking this week?
- Why in either case?
Are you prepared to move to week 4, where you will need to aim for specific macro and micro totals daily with 95-100% accuracy?
- If yes, let’s dive in!
- If not, spend some more time tracking your macros and you can push “Week 4” out by a few days as needed.
Are you sleeping at least 7 hours nightly?
- If not, what is getting in the way? What can you change for next week?
Are you hitting your water goal daily?
- If not, keep building on weeks prior. What has helped? What doesn’t help?
- For example, if filling up your water bottle before bed helps you drink water first thing in the morning, then that should be a nightly goal. If you are unable to remember to refill your water bottle at night, really think about why. Laziness? Do you need a second water bottle? Do you need an alarm on your phone or a note on your nightstand?
Are you getting movement in?
- Steps?
- Workouts?
- Recovery?
How are your stress levels?
What does “stress management” mean to you?
Are you able to anticipate stressful situations before they happen and go in prepared?
Create a “toolbox” of stress management tips for yourself. This toolbox should be listed out somewhere you can access it any time, like in a note on your phone. You should be able to work through things in your toolbox and by the end of it, feel better.
- For example:
- 5 deep breaths
- Drink 20oz water
- Quickly write out what your feeling
- Using voice-to-text in a note in your phone is an easy and fast way to get your thoughts out
