After removing all the things listed below from my to-do list (as per my last post), I sat there with my brain short-circuiting. I figured that I’ll start with Number 1 from The Code: “I will take care of my physical health by exercising, eating properly, and getting the rest I need to recover and rebuild. I will take care of my physical surroundings, keeping them in order.”
I exercise every day, but I do need to ramp it up. I’ve been following Tom Venuto’s Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle program for years (more on this another time) and have been participating in his online challenges between pregnancies and recoveries from childbirth (all of which have been c-sections). Now that I have the go-ahead from my doctor, I’m back!!!….yes, at square one, but *YAtsk*… #ifyouknowyouknow 😉
Eating properly…yeah, this is relative, but also covered in Tom Venuto’s program. Again, I’ll be posting a review of his new meal plan e-book soon.
Getting the rest I need to recover and rebuild…. yeah, about that… Hard to get a solid night’s sleep with a baby that still breastfeeds day and night, but I do try to get 7-8 hours in a 24 hour period. That’s all I can do for now.
I will take care of my physical surroundings, keeping them in order. This is gonna be front and center for me, probably for the next little bit. I have the bad habit of just dropping things where they fall, especially projects that just need that last little bit of effort to finish. Tidying up and filling in records after the kids finish their school for the day (I homeschool my boys). A book that I’m reading and my notebook folded into each other because I needed to attend to something kid-related and didn’t get back to just jotting things down and putting it away. Etc, etc, etc. ALL MY EXCUSES ARE LIES! Yes, I know. So I’ll be focusing on keeping my desk clear at least by day’s end.
So more vigorous exercise and a clear desk. These are the things I will DO every day. Results to follow.
