35 Days
One month.
One month to pack up myself, my kid, and my mom.
We're moving across the country in July, but the house goes on the market mid-June. Unoccupied sale. Which means we're out by then. The 35-day countdown starts today.
How am I going to maintain any semblance of a healthy lifestyle through this? And I mean any semblance.
Here's how I'm thinking about it.
THE THREE-STEP FILTER
First, get real. What can I actually do right now — not what does my ego want me to do, what can I feasibly maintain? I can't juggle all the balls. I know this. (My ego is mad about it. My ego does not run my schedule.)
Then plan around that. And know plans go sideways, so figure out the floor too. The bare minimum I'll accept from myself when the plan blows up.
What does that look like in action? It changes by life stage. The answer five years from now is going to be different. The answer five months from now might be different. Right now, sick (because why would my body do anything other than have an absolute meltdown), 35 days out from a move, here's mine:
Get packed. Intentionally. Not throw-stuff-in-boxes-and-deal-with-it-on-the-back-end packed. I've done that for my last billion moves and I am refusing to do it again.
Sleep. Yes, on the list. Sleep is one of the first things to go in a season like this, and the older I get, the more I refuse to let it.
Eat actual meals. I have a tendency (hello, ADHD) to lock onto a task and forget everything else for nine hours. That's not a lifestyle that keeps a person upright through a move.
(And yes, kid does all the things kid needs to do. That goes without saying. Saying it anyway, just in case.)
WHERE MOVEMENT FITS
Where does fitness fit in here?
It fits exactly where I built it to fit.
Three days a week. 20 minutes per workout. I can hit that, even right now. Would I love to add walks and other cardio? Of course. But three days a week, 20 minutes, is my enough. It's the floor I'm not going below, and it's enough to keep me moving through the chaos without becoming another thing I'm failing at.
Different season, different floor. Right now, this is the right floor.
So if you haven't done fitness in a while and don't know where to start, if your attention span is short, or (like me) you're in a season where the priorities are elsewhere and you need movement that fits inside the rest of your life — this program is for you.
3 months. 3 days a week. 20-minute workouts already built out. Weekly mini-workbooks to help you build the habits that stick after the 3 months are over. $297 total.
Come sprint with me to the first of the finish lines.
