🏹 Anya's Sunday Shift Commitment - February 15-22

💡 WIN / LESSONS LEARNED

Re-establishing my routine this month has taught me the value of "flexible structure." I’ve successfully balanced a growing corporation and an intensive trauma course by anchoring my health goals to existing non-negotiables. This month, I have been focused on two goals: 1) 5-point pregnancy nutrition tracking based on my previous post and 2) Getting at least 150-minutes of walking done each week.

Lessons: I’ve found that using supplementation for Calcium and DHA bridges the gap during high-stress days, protecting my "recovery brain" from decision fatigue. I also learned that a 10-minute dance workout after fruit/meals isn't just a glucose-management tool—it’s a vital mood booster that helps me process the heavy emotional lifting of my trauma course. Physically, emotionally, and mentally I crash at the end of most days and also on Saturdays and Sundays I feel depleted. The balancing act is something I am paying attention to right now, but not actively working on. I am currently working through PCOS Pivot course and these balancing shifts are part of my 90-day plan.

A. 🥦 Movement

B: DEFINE IT -> My goal is to maintain a baseline of 150 minutes of moderate activity while adding intentional recovery. This includes 3 scheduled 30-minute walks followed by a 5-minute physiothepaist-selected stretching routine to address chronic pain in the hips. Additionally, I will use "Micro-Movements" (10-minute dance sessions) after meals to support insulin sensitivity.

C: GOOD / BETTER / BEST VERSION

GOOD: Complete the 3 scheduled 30-minute walks (90 mins total)/week and at least one 10-minute post-meal dance per day.

BETTER: Complete 3 walks + post-walk stretching + two 10-minute post-meal dances per day.

BEST: Hit 150+ minutes of total movement, including all 3 walks with stretches and 3 post-meal dances daily, ensuring I feel "refreshed" rather than "exhausted" afterward.

ONE SMALL STEP TO MAKE IT EASIER

I will schedule my 30-minute walks immediately following my trauma class lunch break. Since the structure is already there, the walk becomes the transition between my different responsibilities.

To make the stretching happen, I will leave my yoga mat and Pilates ball visible in my workspace so I don't have to "set up" a space once I finish my walk.

Finally, I love my visual trackers. The one attached to this post contains all my current goals for this week.

Other things I am tracking for a holistic picture:

Sleep: 7h 56m average (Goal: Maintain consistent 10-11 PM wind-down).

Nutrition: Stabilized Calcium/DHA, protein, glucose spikes; focusing on Choline titration with my Naturopath.
