Ways That We Can Start a Healthy New Routine at Home

About eight months ago I started on a journey to create a healthier version of myself. Before that I was fat and lazy, just like Louie, our 8 year old cat. Over the last couple of years, Louie has become even lazier than he was when we adopted him. He has a tendency to develop rough patches on his skin and cough up hair balls, which are definitely the not-fun parts of cat ownership. Now that I’m on a path to a healthier, happier life, I want everyone (cats included!) in my house to do the same so I’ve implemented a plan to start a healthy new routine at home.

Start a Healthy New Routine at Home –

• Find a workout routine and an accountability partner
  • My workout routine is not at home because I’m not motivated enough to exercise on my own. That said, find a workout routine that works for you. Hold yourself accountable by telling your partner the days & times you’ll workout. Maybe they’ll join you or maybe they’ll just check in to make sure you actually went.
• Get active with your family
  • After you start working out on a consistent basis, you’ll have so much more energy! Get out and get moving with your family – ride bikes, take a walk, etc. It doesn’t matter what you do as long as you are moving.
• Adopt a new pet
  • Animals, especially kittens & puppies, have a ton of energy! It might be the motivation you need to get moving. If not, this new animal could help reduce the amount of stress in your life.
• Reduce the amount of time you spend in front of a screen
  • I did a little experiment where I minimized the amount of time I spend in front of a screen each day (which was hard considering this is what I do!) but I found myself more focused on the off-devices tasks. I didn’t feel like I *HAD* to look at my phone every five seconds. And, most importantly, I wanted to connect with my friends in person and be fully present during those experiences!
• Meal prep and eat healthy foods
  • Purchasing good, healthy foods and then meal prepping those foods is one way to escape the excuses of ‘not having’ a healthy meal or snack option.

I’ve found that everything on my list to start a healthy new routine at home is compatible with our cats! Let me explain:

1) Finding a new workout routine for your pet means that you’ll play with them. Our cats like the feather on a stick toys so I get that out and Louie runs, does sit ups, and more to play with the toy.
2) Getting active with your family is basically the same as finding a workout routine. However, if you can take your pets for a walk, that’s another great way to getting active!
3) Older pets are often revitalized when a new kitten or puppy is added to the mix. That wasn’t the case for Louie, though.
4) If pet owners spend less time on their devices, they have more time to devote to their pets!
5) Give your pet the Purina ONE® Indoor Advantage Adult Premium Dry Cat Food 28-Day Challenge!
