I've decided the only way to help me get use to this type of week is getting into a routine. Granted, this week was not the best example of that. One night I stayed up until 1AM, another night I went to sleep at 10PM, a few days I got up and worked out and other days I hit the snooze. (Side note: I have never used my snooze until now. If my alarm was set for 8AM in college, I was up at 8AM no matter how tired I was. This week, we became close friends.)
So, my routine needs to consist of three things: 1. A bedtime 2. A set time to wake up 3. A time to run. I've been trying to run before work because it's a lot more relaxing to come home and do nothing than it is to know I have an hour workout ahead of me. I've noticed on the days I don't go for a run I'm hungrier and more tired. On the days I do run (or go to the gym), I have more energy and my diet is much better. The last one on my list (set a time to run) should be easy so long as the other two are in effect, which will definitely be the hardest.
Number 1 is the hardest. I can always think of something else I need to fit into my day (or want to fit in) and the time gets pushed later and later. The second one isn't as hard because like I said, I've never been a big snooze button person so hopefully I won't get into the habit of using it. And if I do, I'll just set the alarm 9 minutes earlier than I really need to get up. ;)
Since I am new to this whole grown up thing, I would love some tips on how you make it through your week. I'm not a busy mom. I don't have any family here so I don't have places I HAVE to be. The only thing that is set in my schedule is the time I spend at work (9-6). So, please, feel free to leave me a comment here or on my other social pages.
With love,
Kayla
