Routine

Do you guys get into a routine? We do. We get up, we eat, we exercises, we put the boys to bed {wish we went to bed at the same time} at the same time.  We schedule things in but we almost always know do the same thing. We just have a routine and a schedule. {especially now that Levi is in school.}  Steve goes crazy when we get out of our schedule.

I think that this is what has helped us with our diet and exercise program into our life.  The routine of it getting up and getting it done the first thing in the morning.  We have to get it done, before the boys wake up.  We don't have any excuse to not get it done.  So far, it  has worked for us. 

We also eat plan our meals out, this way we only buy what need.  We also don't have to think about what we are cooking, we already know what we are cooking.  We aren't temped to eat something bad or quick for us.  We also cook several meats at one time.  That way all we have to do is pull it out of the fridge and warm it up.  It works for us.  I know not everyone is up for leftovers. 

We also eat at the same time every day.  We eat breakfast after are workout, which is usually between 6:30-7:00.  We eat snack about 9:30-10:00. We eat lunch about 12:00-12:30.  We eat another snack about 3:00, when Levi gets home from school.  Lastly, we have dinner about 5:00-5:30.  I can tell, I start getting hunrgy around these times now.  I know it is alot, but it is good for your metabalism.

I think that rountine is what has helped us so far.  Just sticky with a scheduale and a rountine.  It takes the guess work out of it.  I know I have said "When am I going to fit in my work out today?"  Then the whole day goes by and I haven't worked out.  You have to set aside that time. This is something that we have learned and I have seen out coach twitter.  She said "You schedule things that are important to you"  I think this goes for your workout, your prayer, and your reading time.  You have to prioritize things in your life.  Those three things and my family are the most important things in my life. 

Yep, I am feeling so much better today.  I get to help some one make healthy choices tomorrow. I am going grocery shopping with her.  I am excited about it! Praying God gives me wisdome.  She may even start workingout with us.  I know God is going to use this journey I am on now to help other people.  It will have its bumps, but He is going to get me through it.
