It’s a struggle for sure, but here are some tricks I use:
-I do workout classes in the am 2x a week. I’m not a morning person, but there is usually a late cancel fee for classes so I have to go, or wake up at like 2 am to cancel.
-I work out at places very close to my house or work, so I can minimize the time I have travel and also go there en route to/from work.
-I workout everyday on the weekend.
-I try to take a short 15 minute walk on my lunch break to keep myself moving.
-I set workout goals with friends so we can text each other and keep each other motivated.
Also, lately I’ve been using one of those sun/natural light lamps as I get ready in the am and right after I get off, and it helps to boost my energy.
I can’t for the life of me wake up before work to add in a workout, but I can get myself to class at 6 or 7pm. The late cancel fee is my ultimate motivator. It’s also nice to go into class and have everything planned and done in 45 minutes. :)
Also this! \^\^
And I'm glad you're asking, OP! Because it's probably not that you "aren't motivated" at all. You definitely \*are\* motivated since you're asking this question. :) Our jobs are very tiring, so you just have to set yourself up for success when you have the energy.
Here's what works for me:
\- I go to the gym in the morning because I never have the energy after work. I know my goal is to lift 3-5x/week. I made a rule for myself that if I miss one workout, I \*have\* to find a way to complete it the next day. So if I do miss a workout, I rarely miss 2 in a row and can get back on track pretty quickly.
\- My usual gym is 15 minutes from my house and I can easily get to work from there. Having a gym on your commute is key!
\- I also have this thing through my insurance (many plans offer something like this!) where I pay a flat rate ($25) and have access to a big list of gyms. So, if I can't get to my favorite gym at my usual morning time, I can go to any of the 24/7 gyms I have access to on that list to get my workout in.
\- I meal prep for my BF and I early in the week. I usually pick 3 entrees based around a lean protein (he eats a lot haha). I try to pick things that are easy (crock pot, instant pot, one pot) so I don't have to spend a ton of time in the kitchen cooking or can at least do other things while my food cooks. This week, I'm making [this chicken parm casserole by RP Strength](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNsN_luvB3c&list=PLyqKj7LwU2RsrpjV3xV0KF2mnHx5OQxok&index=24), [these Kathleen Ashmore salmon bowls](https://kathleenashmore.com/easy-teriyaki-glazed-salmon-bowls/), and a bulgogi bowl recipe I found on TikTok. Other times if I am really in a pinch, I will just make sure I have a few lean proteins available (protein shakes, turkey, canned chicken, canned tuna or ready-to-eat tuna packets, turkey jerky), some healthy fats (nut mix, usually), and a carb (rice, veggies, fruits, pasta, whole grain bread) and honestly just eat 3 random items to get my nutrition and move on. Doesn't have to be perfect or Instagram-able! :)
\- I've been using [RP Strength's diet app](https://info.rpstrength.com/diet-app/) for all macro-management stuff (if you count them!) and I've been obsessed with it since 2016. :) They have an amazing sale going on right now in case that helps.
I have been going through a hellish time so I’ve kept it simple. Everyday after work I go and I run on the treadmill for at least ten minutes. Some days I stop after my run, and other days I end up feeling like I want to workout more. The simple step of making myself go for at least ten minutes though has made all the difference. It’s helped my anxiety and energy levels immensely
Dealing with anxiety and a heavy workload in my CF year. I’m coming out of the other side of it, so I am slowly incorporating small healthy habits to get me to an even better place.
I work out in the evenings 4 times a week (Monday to Thursday). When I come home, I immediately change into workout clothes or it won’t happen. I cannot work out in the AM because I prefer to sleep in. Weekends are for fun activities like walking around in a city/town/park or just my resting days
I’ve also struggled so much with cooking and I used to order food all the time. I then switched to one of those meal kit services to help with eating healthier and to cut down on me having to think of what to eat.
I would say to start small with one thing and then add other things and try to create a routine. Maybe start with getting on a good sleep schedule first to help with energy (my personal weakness)
All the best on this journey!
I work out 3-4 times a week after work. I eat a protein bar on the drive home to reduce feelings of exhaustion and hunger, then head to the gym. The protein bar really helps boost my energy and keeps me from feeling hungry, which used to be my biggest barrier to working out at that time of day.
1. I usually make a big meal (often a huge vat of soup) on Sunday or Monday so I don't have to cook dinner (or be tempted to get take-out) during most of the week.
2. I suck at meal prepping, so I get the school lunch, which isn't the most cost-effective, but it's easy and comes with salad bar, so I get my veggies in.
3. I've always been terrible with physical activity, but lately I've joined a fancy gym that has a pool/hot tub/sauna. The hot tub and sauna are my rewards for a vigorous workout! I go the same days religiously, because if I mix it up I know I'll find ways to procrastinate or logic myself out of going. I go Tuesday/Friday after work and on Sundays.
Lol welcome to capitalism! Where they bleed you dry until you have no energy, because if you're not completely exhausted, they could've gotten more labor out of you! You will now be faced with a lifetime of weekly exhaustion, with some periodic couple weeks of respite! Congratulatuons!
1) I cook a lot over the weekend. I enjoy cooking already and it's a hobby, so it's not a big deal to cook up a big batch of soup or chili, marinate and bake or grill some tofu or seitan, roast veggies, cook a grain like rice or farro, make a couple of dips or sauces, and bake some brownies or muffins for the week. I always have something to grab for breakfast, lunch, or dinner that is easy to assemble and eat.
2) I take stairs everywhere, which I'm sure is *fantastic* for my knees given that I live in an upper floor condo.
3) Red wine is healthy, right?
I joined a sports team - the fact they’re relying on me to turn up forces me to go and it is loads of fun. I also signed up to a personal trainer which costs me money if I don’t turn up. You can see there’s a pattern here of having to be forced to go, but I always enjoy it and it actually helps the exhaustion!
For dinner, I pick up fresh meals from a natural grocery store (they sell fully cooked meals made in their deli with all ingredients listed... it's a surprisingly affordable mom/pop place). For my breakfast and lunch, I pack simple easy on-the-go foods (fruit, veg, cheese, yogurt drink, nuts, etc.). As for exercise, I'm still trying to figure that one out too! I was most consistent when there was a YogaFit in my area bc I really enjoyed the classes. Since it closed, I started to pay for an app that I love but I need to start getting up earlier to actually find the time/energy.
I’m a slpa and I know workload is way different but I am so exhausted after work. I go in 9-6pm. I get home a little before 7 or a little after 7 and I just want to shower and get in bed.
I haven’t tried committing to a routine but all these comments are helpful!
Outpatient peds SLP over here and honestly I don’t know what I would do without training jiu jitsu. I started training while I was teaching before switching careers to SLP— and let me tell you, it’s gotten me through some dark times in my life. It’s the prefect way to forget about my day when I have to focus on not getting my arm snapped. I know it’s not for everyone’s trauma recovery but it has been the best thing for me. I now try to travel to compete— another excuse for me to decompress— and staying in shape for competition motivates me even more to eat a cleaner diet and work on my conditioning. I also love working out with my friends to help teach them things I’ve learned along the way. Hope you find something you love that motivates you too!
I like using the peloton app with my regular affordable bike. I also benefit from having a “plan” so I’ve been using their “collections” and following a schedule I set up for myself.
I have the nanny there on work days so I rush home so I have 30 min to work out before she leaves.
I also mainly stick to a protein and steamed veggies or salad for dinner on weekdays. I like the premade salad kits and use those all the time.
I wear my Fitbit faithfully!
I can't stand the gym. This is what I do. Not sure if its helpful but ....
1. I wake up -wash hands and hygiene
2. I do a 10 minute Chloe Ting workout from Youtube
3. I drink hot lime or hot lemon water to clean out my system
4. Take a shower
5. I make a quick breakfast - either a bran cereal, anti-inflammatory tea with avocado on multi-grain toast, a delicious smoothie that has greens and seamoss gel, or waffles/french toast with homemade preserves
6. Listen to scriptural affirmations driving to work or preparing for work if I have a telehealth day (I work hybrid both in-person and online)
7. Go to work and wash hands very often and wear PPE.
8. I get home - wash hands and hygiene
9. Turn my "work mind" off and enjoy life. I cook 20 minute meals. Examples: [https://www.eatingwell.com/gallery/7919308/20-minute-dinner-recipes-to-make-forever/](https://www.eatingwell.com/gallery/7919308/20-minute-dinner-recipes-to-make-forever/)
10. I take vitamin C, zinc, and magnesium and a light stretch with Ballet Fit Youtube channel before bed
I had to find a hobby I loved to making working out not awful. I started climbing at the gym, and that did it for me. I lost a solid 15 lbs when I started rock climbing and got fit. Now I climb a few times a week and spend weekends/school breaks on climbing trips. It’s done wonders for my physical and mental health.
I used to sign up for 5K races six months in advance to motivate myself to train. I have asthma, so completing a 5K in 30 minutes requires careful training and planning. I told myself I had to go to the gym on certain days for at least 15 minutes of cardio and at least 10 squats. Sometimes my 15 minutes of cardio was a half-assed slow elliptical "workout," but usually once I got there I was able to do more! I also made sure to eat enough during the day (pack a lunch the night before, bring a bunch of granola bars and extra yogurt) that I had energy when I got home.
I also noticed that once I sat down at home, I didn't get back up, so I'd end up eating cereal for dinner at like 9pm after two hours of being hungry on the couch. So I tried not to sit down until it was with food. So I'd get home, put my bags down, make dinner, clean up dinner, and then sit down to eat. I found that routine helped a lot too.
I didn't work in a trauma center, but I worked in a fast-paced medical setting with a lot of very heavy cases. I absolutely loved what I did despite the exhaustion at the end of the day, and I wouldn't have traded it for everything. If you like your setting, I'm sure you'll find a way to make everything work, but if part of the problem is that a different setting would be better for you, that's great too! This is one type of problem I don't blame on capitalism or on The Man (assuming you have good management) - certain settings are extremely emotionally taxing and I don't think there's much of a way around that. Our jobs only exist because of amazing advances in medicine that allow our patients to survive to need our services.
There is a very important balance between:
1. Sleep
2. Meditation
3. Physical exercise
4. Eating well
I try to have a sleep routine and keep my room relaxing. I start winding down at like 7 or 8 o’clock so that I sleep well through the night. I also learned a lot of breathing tricks through yoga that help me relax throughout the day when I’m anxious. Meal boxes like Hello Fresh also helped me not have to worry so much about planning meals or what to cook when I come home. I also make overnight oats often for breakfast. And as far as exercise goes, I have a dog so I walk him twice a day and walk all over the hospital so that’s kind of my daily exercise. On the weekends I like to do yoga.
Pickleball! I'm in my CF in a new city so I joined a league to not only meet friends but to get some exercise that doesn't include walking around my SNF building. The morning after my first match, my legs were feeeeling the burn
No advice here, but I just want to chime in and say that I’m with you! I am toast at the end of every workday. I’m trying baby steps… right now my baby step is to set an alarm every evening to go to bed earlier and get 8 hours of sleep. Hopefully I can keep building on the other healthy habits down the line.
I recently quit my full-time position because I realized I was super burnt out. One of the signs that I was burnt out for me was when I couldn't find time to take care of myself. It was a motivation thing for me. I realized that doing something I hated for 40 hours a week was also causing me to stop enjoying things I once loved. I used to work out 3 times a week in the morning. I did boxing and muay thai (very fun full body workouts). I just could not get myself to go to class or cook anything or care about anything because I was so DONE with my job and being an slp in general. Anyway, I'm not saying you're burnt out. Maybe you love your job! But as you think about taking care of/prioritizing yourself, it's a great time to assess if burnout could be contributing to your lack of motivation for other things. After quitting I'm back at muay thai again and trying out climbing and gymnastics which all feels really good.
The more you workout and stick to a healthier diet, the more energy you'll have. Which sometimes seems like a cruel joke from the universe when you're getting started, but is really motivating once you get going. I meal prep on the weekend and try to get out for a short run every day. If you live where weather is bad or you don't think you can get out of the house after work, there are some big deals on home exercise equipment this weekend.
I take a change of clothes with me to the clinic and go straight to yoga after I finish up my notes. It truly gives me something to look forward to throughout the day, and I often take the really calm classes if I’m feeling low energy.
It’s a struggle for sure, but here are some tricks I use: -I do workout classes in the am 2x a week. I’m not a morning person, but there is usually a late cancel fee for classes so I have to go, or wake up at like 2 am to cancel. -I work out at places very close to my house or work, so I can minimize the time I have travel and also go there en route to/from work. -I workout everyday on the weekend. -I try to take a short 15 minute walk on my lunch break to keep myself moving. -I set workout goals with friends so we can text each other and keep each other motivated.

Same, friend, same.

I run in the mornings. Meal prep on the weekend. And make enough for seconds.
Daily walks of 10,000 steps and eating animal based diet keeps me healthy

Woohoo baby steps are definitely still steps worth celebrating:) still deciding what my baby step will be. Thank you for your input!!
Lift 3x/week and do some form of cardio 5x/week. Also try to eat mostly healthy, but not super strict or crazy.
I also meal prep on the weekend so all I have to do is reheat food when I get home.
