Daily life and Sandals Barbados

It's rough getting up at 3am to leave Barbados. Then getting home, I thought about skipping the routine and the gym. I almost talked myself out of it but I rallied and made it to the gym anyways. 

I wanted to share my room with you. It was an awesome room!

The porch came with a soaking tub which was fantastic! The first time we put water in that was too hot. The second time, we used lukewarm water which was better. 

He view was rediculous and this photo looks fake but it's not! That pool was a sweet winding river around the rooms. Everyone could use it. 

The shower was awesome with two heads, a rain head and a regular. There was also a painting that moved to reveal a window into the shower. So sexy! Also, I won the Yahtzee tournament. 

Routine

We find comfort in routine, however I haven’t found the right balance of routine versus spontaneity. I need a routine to make sure I complete tasks consistently. Simple tasks such as reading the bible, writing the blog, taking care of the kitties (I don’t usually miss this one since they can be so vocal about their needs) are all things that I want to complete.

I haven’t gotten my routine together because I’ve moved a little over two months ago and I also have a new job. Being a first-born with input as my strength, I’ll get a routine going soon. So what routine do you have and has it been helpful? Please feel free to comment.

Healthy Choices

Today’s rating is Positive.

I made some healthy choices today. First I spent some time planning with a health coach. I got this service for free from work. I always take whatever is free especially when I need it. After that, I went to the gym and met with a personal trainer. I am excited to see the progress I will get from the extra help.

One of the important issues to watch out for is stress. I read in The 24 Hour Customer that a stressed individual will have a more difficult time making decisions and rely more on the routine function side of the brain. How can we be expected to make healthy choices when we are living with bad habits?

Today, I made some goals. I plan on finding some new friends, find a new job, and get more fit. These are some big goals but I know if I can keep my focus, I will be successful.
