....and 3 more till weigh-in day for me. *fingers crossed*
This week has been pretty great! Mainly because I have decided to be obsessive compulsive. If you don't get what I mean, here it is:
Yes, that is a daily schedule written on my mirror (Thanks to my awesome "Glass Crayons"). I realized that in order for me to fit in everything that I want to during my day, I would have to come up with some kind of blueprint to keep me on track. I am a HUGE listmaker (no pun intended....ha!), so having a schedule like this that I can cross off as I accomplish things is extremely gratifying. Find something that gives you satisfaction when it comes to living a healthier lifestyle is super important - and this is my form of satisfaction! so, I sat down and made a schedule for each day of my week. Of course, I left it flexible and open for revisions, because hardly anyone can follow a strict schedule to the tee every single day.

The best part about this schedule is that it totally fits ME! For example, I am NOT a morning person at all, and I probably NEVER will be. So, I let myself sleep in as much as possible and stay up as late as possible while still allowing myself to get some good sleep. Of course there will be nights when I stay up later and mornings when I sleep in longer, but who cares! It happens. I'm loving my schedule so far, and I would recommend for anyone to make a schedule like it of their own! But make it with yourself in mind - which means, take into account your quirks, habits, and personality. If you know that you can't workout past 6 PM without it killing you, don't do it! Move it to another time! It will only be effective if it's catered to you. And who doesn't like having something catered to them??
Enjoy the rest of your week! :)
