A new plan
Posted by Robyn Nelson on Monday, December 31, 2012
HahahahaYesterday was just a rough day for everyone here... well most of us here. But somehow we survived. I've been praying about this problem for awhile trying to figure out a routine for myself. We are always told we need a routine and what my routine has been for the last 6 months or so... well from when I was real sick after the convention. My routine was so up in the air. My workouts were random, my personal study and ministry were also random... i just seriously need it to be in control. So after praying about it for days, I thought about what worked for me in the past and put it all together.
Since we are coming up to a new year, I want to see if I can keep up with this schedule. I started it today, because it gears me up for what my plan is.
I will get up each morning at 7am, and do my workout. That way, I won't be bother Colton, as he doesn't get home until 8am. Working out in a cold house will work great for me too. Then at 8am, I will do 15-20 mins of Bible reading (about 3 chapters) I am using the web site, as i often get stuck reading and reread the same words over and over. This way, I can follow along. Then I will do 15-20 mins of personal study. I wanted to start the new yearbook, but I can't find it anywhere. I also cant find our new calendars... i'm guessing they are together somewhere. then I will do 15-20mins of letter writing. With my tendon problems that has been about all I can handle at a time.
Then by 9 am I can do whatever else I need to do for the day. I also have to get more aggressive with my diet. I am using a smaller plate now and smaller bowls to reduce my portion size. I've had EO working on that for awhile, as he was giving me such huge portions that I couldn't finish.
I also gave the kids new work schedules and work assignments as well. As well as EO. I am making sure he gets at least one day off from work each week. He says it is his responsibility, but I think he should be able to take a break as well, after all that is the whole point of having the kids work for me, so it can lighten his load. Which, it did before, but he still had to work 7 days a week, and I want that changed.
