5 Printables to Kick-Start a Healthy Lifestyle

If you’re looking to kick-start a healthy lifestyle, it isn’t the type of thing you just want to wing and pray it works.

I don’t want to complicate getting healthier [having a healthy diet, working out consistently, + doing the mindset work every day]. But, it isn’t exactly easy or everyone would be walking around being their healthiest self.

It not only takes time [which is a huge part!]. But, it also takes lots of discipline as you’re working each day towards unlearning old habits + creating brand new ones.

What helps this process speed up? Planning ahead + having clear systems in place to help you find success.

So, I decided to put this post together to help you streamline 5 key types planners that I have found to be very successful when helping women kick-start a healthy lifestyle.

NOTE: Don’t immediately try to use them all! You will overwhelm yourself. I would start with one or two and make a habit of them. Then, add more on. Also, remember that YOU are the one who knows yourself best. Edit/change the planners to your individualized journey. Keep the ones you love + ditch the ones you don’t!

1. MEAL PLANNING MENUS

The best planner I can recommend starting with to kick-start a healthy lifestyle is a meal planner. I have been using meal planning menus for about 6 years + have found that they are key to staying on-track with eating healthy all week long. I have 2 types for you to download:

1. WEEKLY MEAL PLANNER – This planner includes spaces for you to plan your breakfast, lunch, dinner, + snacks for all 7 days of the week.
2. WEEKLY MEAL MENU – This one has smaller spaces for writing out what you’re eating each day, but includes a space for groceries needed + a notes section. I mainly use this to plan dinners.

Again — choose which works best for YOU! I personally use #2 regularly. But, some people work best when planning out their meals in more detail.

2. GROCERY SHOPPING LISTS

To pair with the meal menu’s above, these grocery shopping lists are the bomb when it comes to streamlining your healthy eating. Really, the key document you need is the focused grocery list. What I like to do is plan my meals out, fill in the focused grocery list using the meals I planned, + then I go shopping.

I also attached a general healthy grocery list to get you started with choosing healthier, whole ingredients.

Remember: healthy eating isn’t about eating plain, boring foods. Take recipes you already love + choose lighter ingredients so you actually enjoy your meals! For example, using Ezekiel bread instead of white bread to make sandwiches.

3. WORKOUT PLANNERS

If you’re looking to create a consistent workout routine you’ll definitely want to start planning your workouts in advance. I am at the point where I like to just write out my workouts in my phone [see how I do it HERE]. But, if you don’t already have a routine the 2 planners below are a great place to start.

1. WEEKLY WORKOUT PLANNER – This planner is broken down into Mon-Fri and has space for you to plan the time you work out, the place, what the workout is, any notes (progress/weights lifted, etc), as well as if you completed it. I would start here as a newbie.
2. MONTHLY WORKOUT PLANNER – This planner includes all days of the month. This is a simple planner for what the general workout is each day [legs, pilates, stretching, hiking, cardio, rest day, etc].

4. GOAL + HABIT TRACKERS

Personally, I would start with getting your healthy eating + fitness jump started before taking on goal + habit trackers. But, these could be great tools to help you figure out what you really want within a healthy lifestyle.

3-6 MONTH GOAL PLANNER – This planner is a detailed breakdown of where you are looking to be in 3-6 months with a healthy lifestyle. It helps you figure out your “whys,” as well as specific habits you can build to reach your big goal(s).

HABIT TRACKER – I love love love love this simple, yet effective habit tracker. All you need to do is fill in 1-8 habits you have intentions on creating. Then, you check off what you completed each day!

5. A DAILY FOCUSED PLANNER

In general, this is a great planner to create structure + discipline in your daily schedule when you want to kick-start a healthy lifestyle. It’s broken down into:

DAILY AFFIRMATION – Write one mantra/quote you can repeat + focus on to create a positive, productive day.

PERSONAL TASKS – Note 1-3 personal tasks you intend on getting done that day [grocery shopping, dry cleaning, laundry, etc].

GOAL-ORIENTED TASKS – Note 1-3 tasks that relate directly to your life goals. Wellness, business, personal, etc. [answer 5 e-mails, research a new fitness class, create a Pinterest recipe board for healthy meals, etc].

FITNESS PLANNING – Note your fitness details for the day [time + place, workout details, + whether or not you completed it.

MEAL PLANNING – Plan/track what you eat all day to help stay on-track with eating healthy.
