Examples and Little Changes

I've written before about how the end of December - beginning of January kind of sucked.

One thing that I pledged to do this year was establish a routine with working out that I could figure out a way to maintain when traveling, and during Gwen’s breaks. The end of December-beginning of January I felt pretty bad physically and mentally. I’m all about a good sleep in, but I basically stopped going to all classes I wasn’t teaching and didn’t got to the gym during her school break. I paid for it. Gwen is off of school today, and yup, I totally slept in (ahhhh), but now we’re about to head to the gym. She has a bag of stuff to entertain herself with, and I’m going to work some weights and C25k. I’ve also started making plans for the summer months. Here’s to healthier habits, and setting a good example!

Well, as written above, I've decided to really do something about it. More consistency, including Gwen in the process.

Other little steps I'm taking? Well I started keeping a weekly paper calendar. Taking the time on Sunday to look at the week ahead and break down "to do"s into smaller chunks makes everything seem less rushed, and less hectic. I also bought myself a cute glass water bottle which I've been filling up every morning and making sure I drink at least that amount of plain water by the end of the day, in addition to whatever else I drink (morning matcha and afternoon Moringa Infusions for the win!). I'm also continuing with my weekly self care baths. I can still get things done, but I also get to relax and treat my body (extra nice since I do it on a lifting day).

What healthy changes are you making in your life?
