“That Girl” Apps to Help You Stay Healthy

Embracing the ‘That Girl’ lifestyle is all about intentionality and finding tools that genuinely support your journey. While the apps I've shared are fantastic starting points, I often get asked about making wellness even more engaging or finding deeper guidance, similar to a personal coach or structured program. Here's how I integrate these tools to get the most out of them, especially if you're looking for gamified progress or comprehensive wellness resources! For those who love the idea of gamified habit tracking, even if an app isn't a full-blown RPG, you can still bring that element into your routine. I personally use the “Done” app for building habits and routines, and I treat each streak as a mini-challenge. Seeing those numbers go up motivates me to not break the chain! You can level up this feeling by setting small, personal rewards for hitting certain milestones – maybe a new healthy snack for a 7-day streak or a relaxing bath for a month of consistent workouts. I even use my Apple Notes app to create a simple points system, giving myself “wellness points” for things like meditating or drinking enough water. It makes the daily check-ins feel more rewarding and fun. When it comes to finding structured wellness knowledge, much like wellness ebooks that are easy to follow and apply, I’ve found clever ways to leverage these apps. Lifesum, for instance, isn't just for tracking meals; its nutritional quizzes and customized plans provide incredible insights, almost like a personalized guide without having to sift through a whole book. It helps me understand why certain foods are better and gives me actionable steps. For broader wellness topics, whether it's understanding mindfulness or building a new fitness routine, I often turn to ChatGPT. I ask it for journal prompts, exercise ideas, or even to summarize complex health topics into digestible points. It’s like having an on-demand resource library that adapts to my questions. Integrating these apps has been key to my holistic approach. I use Yuka for avoiding ingredients that don't align with my health goals when grocery shopping, then plan my weekly meals using Lifesum’s recipes. My Apple Health app then tracks my activity and sleep, giving me an overview of my physical well-being. And for mental well-being, when I feel anxiety and distraction creeping in, a quick session on the #SelfCare app provides that much-needed moment of calm. To organize thoughts and reflections, my Notes app is invaluable – I keep a running gratitude journal and jot down any insights from my wellness journey. It's about creating a seamless, supportive system that empowers your ‘That Girl’ life every single day.
