Back in the Flow: Getting ready for the next 91 Days

Okay, so here I am again - standing on the edge of a 91-day journey, and honestly? I’m ready. I’ve done this once before, so I know the drill. I know the ups, the downs, the “ugh why did I think this would be easy” days, and the “heck yes, I’ve got this” days. And now get to do it all over again, but with way more confidence, energy, and perspective.

There’s something kind of exciting about starting over when you’ve already been through it. You’re not starting from zero, you’ve already walked the trail once, so now it’s more like a fun hike you know you’re going to enjoy, even if there are a few tricky spots. And honestly, that feeling of being ready? It’s so good

The Night-Before Jitters, (But in a Good Way)

I’m not gonna lie - there’s a little nervous energy tonight. But it’s not the scary kind. It’s the “oh wow, I’m actually doing this again and kind of can’t wait” kind. I’m sitting here with my bottle of water, thinking about the week ahead, and it’s that weird mix of butterflies, excitement, and a touch of “what if I don’t feel motivated tomorrow?”

And you know what I realized? That’s totally normal. That mix of excitement and nerves just means you care. It means this matters to you. And since I’ve done this before, I know that the nerves fade fast once I get into the flow of the routine.

Meal Prep: My Realistic Kind of Prep

I’m not the type to clean my whole house or organize my life like a Pinterest board. Honestly, that’s not my vibe. But I have prepped my fridge and snacks, and I’ve planned my meals for the week. That’s enough to make me feel ready.

I’ve got my fresh veggies, my proteins, my snacks that actually make me happy (because let’s be real, if snacks aren’t enjoyable, no one’s gonna stick to anything). My meals are portioned, simple, and ready to grab - no overthinking required. That’s my version of “organization” and it works for me.

Having my food ready makes me feel calm and confident. I don’t have to panic about “what’s for lunch” or “is this going to sabotage me?” Everything is already prepped and waiting for me. It’s a little anchor of sanity in the chaos of life, and honestly, it makes the first day feel way less intimidating.

Energy Check-in

One of the things I’ve learned doing this before is that the physical stuff is just half the game. Your energy is the other half. And I’ve realize that if I’m not mentally and emotionally tuned in, even the best meal prep, can’t save me.

Tonight, I’ve been checking in with myself: how’s my energy? Am I feeling excited, tired, anxious? I’ve been taking a few deep breaths, shaking out tension, and reminding myself that tomorrow is just the start- it’s not about perfection, it’s about showing up.

I’ve also been visualizing. I picture myself tomorrow morning, rolling out of bed, drinking my water while taking my vitamins, and feeling grounded and ready. I picture moving through the day without freaking out over every detail, and honestly? That alone gives me a boost.

Mental Prep: Confidence is Everything

Doing this again is already giving me a confidence boost. I know what to expect. I know where I might stumble, and I know I’ll be able to course correct. That’s such a huge shift from the first time I did this. Back then, every little thing felt like a surprise. Now, I feel like I’ve got a secret cheat code: experience.

I also keep reminding myself: it’s not about being perfect. It’s about consistency. Showing up. Making small, aligned choices every day. That’s where the magic happens.

And yes, there will be moments of doubt or frustration. But instead of panicking, I’ll take a breath and remind myself that I’ve done this before. I know how to handle it. I know my strategies. I know my energy. And most importantly, I know I don’t have to be perfect. I just have to keep going

Self-Compassion and Humour

One of my favourite lessons from last time is how important is to laugh at yourself. I’m the queen of overthinking, so I’ve definitely had moments where I’ve said things like “oh my gosh, what if I eat the wrong snack?” or “ugh why did I think I could get up early and be productive?”

And you know what? That’s okay. Laughing at myself keeps the energy light. Transformation doesn’t have to be serious and heavy all the time. It can be fun. It can be playful. Mistakes happen. Chaos happens and that’s just part of the journey.

I also reminded myself to treat myself like I’d treat a friend. When I stumble, I say “it’s fine, you’re human, you’ve got this.” That’s been a total game changer.

Getting Excited about Routine

The part I’m really looking forward to is the routine. There’s something comforting about structure, especially when it’s something that works for me. My meals are ready. My snacks are ready. My energy is tuned in. I know my morning and evening rhythms, and I know what keeps me moving forward.

The first few days might feel like an adjustment, but once the rhythm kick kicks in, it becomes second nature. And that’s where the real momentum happens. I’m excited to notice subtle differences this time: how my energy feels, how my focus shifts, how self-compassion grows. Each day is a small victory and I want to savour that.

The Real “Magic”

Honestly, the magic isn’t in the meal prep or the routine. The magic is in showing up. Every day. Fully. Honestly. Energetically. That’s what builds momentum, confidence, and real change.

The prep, the planning, the visualization- those are just tools to make showing up easier. But it’s the act of showing up that actually creates results.

Tomorrow Starts Today

So here I am, the night before, feeling ready, excited, and confident. I know there will be challenges. I know there will be days I don’t feel like doing it. I know life will throw me curveballs. But I also know I’ve done this before, and I trust myself to handle it

I’ve got my snacks. I’ve got my meals. I’ve got my energy checked in. I’ve got my mindset and I’ve got a little humour ready for when things inevitably get messy.

This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about showing up, having fun, and staying consistent. And honestly? That’s enough.

Here’s to the next 91 days- to routine, energy, confidence, and maybe a few laughs along the way I’m ready. Let’s do this.

With love and light, Leah
