The "New Normal" Routine

Since the disaster I've had a million excuses, for everything. Not working out in the morning because I need more sleep. Not eating healthy because I didn't have a plan. Not doing my school work because I got an extension. Not organizing the house... because.. because... because.

It's taken a while to get back into good habits and create a new normal routine. Here is a snapshot of mine so far this week. Hoping to keep the good habits track going. 

It's likely going to change, especially if we have an event in the evening but for the past week this has been helpful to centre myself. This weekend I was pretty much house bound due to a serious allergic reaction. While the hives weren't much fun the time to myself was exactly what I needed. For me, it generally takes a major illness to get me to stop, rethink and force a change. Not very healthy, but effective. The allergic reaction was due to a questionable berry at the healing gathering. Never ever eat berries you have never encountered before!

Speaking of food, prior to the wildfire, we were following the $5 meal plan. It was the perfect portions for my family and the recipes are simple and delicious. Best part is the variety they offer and the shopping list. I know exactly what to buy in perfect portions for no waste (food or money). We started it two weeks ago and what a difference in time and money savings.

Next up, working out! Prior to wildfire (again), I had bought a foam roller and it has sat in its packaging for three months. On the weekend, while bored and uncomfortable from hives, I opened that baby up and found an awesome starter workout plan! Here is this week's workout plan!
