With all the changes possibly going on lately, I have still been feeling really good lately.  I attribute this to a few different things:

1.  I have rededicated myself to praying in the mornings.  We usually pray as a couple but I have been out of the habit of individual prayer for a while.

2.  Working out:  I don’t know if it is b/c we are going to Mexico next week but for the past 2-3 weeks I have been going to the gym consistently almost everyday.  It helps b/c I found a regimen that I really like.  Every other day is cardio and then strength training exercises.  I am seeing subtle (very subtle) changes on the scale and in the mirror.  (But how come the cellulite seems to get worse!!)  The eating habits I have been working on but they are always rough.  No matter what changes in my appearance however, the best part is the added energy I have felt.  Its been nice not to come home and watch 3 hours of TV and then feel like nothing is getting better.

3.  FLY Lady:  I stumbled upon this website on my SILs blog and I have never heard of it but already I love it.  It is all about loving yourself and making life easier on you and your family.  I have only been following it for 3 days but this is the first weekend in a while that I am not angry b/c I will spend all Saturday cleaning my house! Seriously!  When my home is dirty on the weekends it makes me beyond grouchy!  I guess b/c that is when I am there the most.  But their system on this website seems to be really great so far.  I shined my sink for the first time on Wednesday and I do love it!  It feels so sanitary.  So, GO VISIT THE SITE! Sign up for the Butterflies Beginners and start making your life happier and less cluttered.  I realize I have an advantage in that my life isn’t too crazy right now, but I am confident that by gaining these habits now will help me when kids come along.  And I am confident that even if you have 3,4, or 6 little ones, you can implement this in your home and make things a bit more simple.  I hope I stick with it and right now there is no doubt in my mind.
