Since transferring into the visitor home a number of weeks in the past, we’ve seen our morning routine has modified a bit…and I believe for the higher! As you may keep in mind from this submit some time again, Rob has at all times been the early riser over right here, I however can inspire myself to stand up and going early however it normally required much more effort. I by no means actually awakened, prepared for the day, able to “conquer all of it”. I’m not fairly positive what kickstarted this shift in us currently, however over the previous couple of weeks we’ve seen some wholesome modifications and it feels good to lastly see ourselves following by way of with them verses simply speaking about them.
Over the previous couple of weeks, one of many greatest modifications we made was becoming a member of a fitness center. We used to have a pilates membership, however finally the repetitious lessons ended up dropping their appeal shortly, plus the category schedule simply wasn’t the most effective for us. As a lot as we wished to be pilates individuals, it didn’t stick. As we become old, we’ve turn out to be a lot extra targeted on what we’re doing for our our bodies…what meals are we consuming…are we energetic sufficient…and so forth. Since giving up pink meat and pork a number of years again, we have been on a more healthy observe than the years earlier than, however it nonetheless didn’t really feel like sufficient. After our journey to London and Paris, we felt like we have been bringing residence a number of further kilos and greater than something, we simply didn’t really feel good…and that had little to do with vainness and all to do with our vitality ranges and the way motivated we felt every day. Once we’re not operating round a brand new metropolis, we spend a variety of time sitting at our computer systems, which isn’t any bueno. That Apple Watch hints, “hey, its time to stand up and get transferring”….so in got here the fitness center membership.

We discover ourselves getting up earlier to move to the fitness center, so we are able to nonetheless make it residence and eat breakfast at a standard hour collectively. What I really like most about it…okay perhaps not probably the most, however one thing I really like about this new routine, apart from attending to run and snigger my method although pathetic burpees subsequent to my important different is we’re up, showered and prepared for the day muchhhh sooner than previously…and (prepared for this?) I’m enthusiastic about it! For those who earn a living from home, you know the way straightforward it’s to eat breakfast, test emails, take calls and get tasks for the subsequent week all deliberate out whereas by no means leaving your kitchen desk, and even altering out of your pjs may I add. Yeah – we’ve all been there. Whereas that’s all nice and generally you actually simply want a lazy day like that, I lastly really feel energized and able to sort out my to do listing every day after getting an excellent work out in, and realizing that I’m doing one thing good for myself has been fairly enriching. Nonetheless we’re nonetheless within the early phases, so I’ll you’ll want to preserve you all posted.
Updates on residing below 300 sq. ft? We thought it will be rather a lot tougher than it has been up to now. You have a tendency to understand simply what you actually need every day, what you attain for, what you don’t even search for…you catch my drift. Once we first moved into the visitor home we introduced a lot with us, that we *thought* we would wish….seems, we haven’t wanted it, so into our storage unit it has gone. It has been attention-grabbing to see how easy of a routine we preserve and the way satisfying that’s for the each of us. Dinner at our little desk every night has become hours of conversations about our childhood and future plans. Life within the visitor home, to this point, has been nearly like transferring in collectively over again. It’s attention-grabbing to see how after fourteen years, we’re nonetheless asking one another questions, studying how one can navigate by way of our ups and downs collectively, and discovering what motivates us to be good to ourselves and good to one another as companions.
I’m wanting ahead to the subsequent few months of the renovation and residing on this tiny home of ours. Additionally, simply two extra weeks of bootcamp for Henry — can’t wait to see that little cutie!
