Aimee Day 11/90

-
Day 11! And my Friday at work :) I was worried that yesterday would throw off my eating and working out, but it didn't!
Thursday is my late day at work, so I got up at 6:30am, prayed, got Steven's food together, and read scriptures. Then I went to the gym and ran two miles on the treadmill, did 30 minutes of leg weights, and came home for a good stretch session. I showered and got ready for work, with make up. Then I cleaned the apartment. It's gotten out of hand this week as I've tried to squeeze everything in to meet goals. I listened to a podcast during all this, got my food together, and made a protein shake with a banana for breakfast. I had strawberries and blueberries for a snack. Then salmon, baked squash and sweet potato, and grilled cauliflower for lunch. Followed by shrimp, steamed cauliflower (you can tell which veggie I've been liking haha), with black beans and quinoa for dinner. I had 100oz of water and no sugar! I don't really eat after 8pm, it helps me not to go for snack food. When I got home, I did my abs and meditated for a few minutes. Then I prepared Steven's food for tomorrow and got ready for bed.
Tomorrow is going to be a lot fo working out and weekend food prep/shopping. I have a doctor's appointment in the morning. Speaking of, I had an appointment two weeks ago and they took bloodwork for my thyroid and stuff. Everything came back good except my triglycerides were high. But no thyroid issues, yay!

So, every day I make a check list on my phone of things I want to do during the day, and every day there are 2-3 things that I didn't get to. Today, I got them all for the first time and it felt so good :)

Steven and I are gonna spend sometime together tomorrow night and I think I'll try and get a nap in, too.

Keep up all the good work guys! We can do this!

xoxo

Life Was Not Meant to Be Easy.-Aubrey

I think it is so important to understand that life was never meant to be easy. I have been really struggling lately. Some emotional and some physical, but it is kicking my butt. I have been trying to figure out what I can do to help me, but also properly execute my responsibilities at home as a wife and mother. I have been struggling to even just do the basics without losing my temper or checking out (Aaron has watched quite a bit of tv lately).  I made a check list that is pretty redundant, but it is necessary sometimes with my currant state of mind. It is divided into 4 parts; Personal, Kids, Zach, and Family/House. It has things as little and consistent as prayers and as changing as the specific chores that need to be done that particular day. My checklist haste been a really good way for me to feel like I am getting things done, but also lets me know what I might be neglecting. I noticed this last week that I have put more importance on everybody else so yesterday when I would ...

 Long time no see! Austin and I are finally getting into more of a routine. His class work load is so much easier since switching majors from Mechanical Engineering to Manufacturing Engineering Technology. He's hoping that he might be able to squeeze in a weekend to go hunting this fall, he still needs to call Cameron and talk about it though.  We will be 28 weeks tomorrow, and I am so excited! The weather is starting to cool off, I've got most of our baby stuff washed, organized, and ready to go, and the fall colors are starting to show in the trees! Tonight is our 4/5 hypnobirthing class, and we will be spending the majority learning how to use counterpressure techniques and stuff to help during labor, which I'm pretty pumped about. ALSO, Austin and I both have job interviews on Friday! It's for seasonal positions at Artco (The Occassions Group) making greeting cards for the holidays. They are incredibly flexible with schedules (literally work whenever you want, as th...

 This week is feeling redundant.  I know I still need to get to sleep but I'm so tired of trying and failing so now I want to change my goal.  However, like I said, I still need to get to sleep on time.  So I have as of not yet done much energy work on it and have on many other things which have improved.  Reasons I have failed to use it for this my current goal are many and right now sound like a bunch of excuses so I'm skipping those and today, Monday, am implementing at least one, maybe two techniques.  I will report on any results good or bad and I want progress on this one this week.  I am also going to include it heavily in my prayers, throughout the day if necessary.  This non progress has been the story of my efforts for a long time.  Since I know I'm supposed to focus on it then I am assuming I'm supposed to progress at it.  So here goes this week.  Goals: Planning meeting with God as soon as I am dressed and awake Alarm at...
