This is for you if you've started over more times than you can count.
I work full time, I'm working through a master's, and I have three kids. For years I fell off and told myself I'd start Monday. What finally worked wasn't willpower. It was making it so simple there was nowhere for an excuse to hide.
That took about four weeks. Not months. Four weeks, mostly just showing up on the days I didn't want to.
This is the system I used. 17 pages, 8 principles, worksheets you fill in.
- Your minimum viable workout, small enough you can't talk yourself out of it
- The if-then plan that survives a kid up all night
- Rest days decided in advance, not by how you feel
- A 28-day win log and 4-week tracker
- Your comeback plan, written before you need it
- What the timeline actually looks like, so you don't quit on day 6
Fillable. Type into it on your phone or print it for the fridge.
You're not starting over. You're starting where you are, today.
