TOGETHER

wow, what i week and i am excited cause i have lots of fun to share with you! but first here is the drill read, enjoy comment so i know you were here, really, comment! click on over to september farm and the farmers wife read, enjoy comment seriously, like make an exciting friday night out of it! i do it a lot and get lost and by the end have no idea what happened, it is 2am, blah blah blah.   1//  i did it!! i said i was going to do something and stuck to it this week, i am so excited to keep on going. so you may remember i had this goal of getting up earlier each day and taking some time to find an affirmation or scripture , just something i could use to help me stay aligned throughout my day. i did just that crazier…it did help! like i found myself often times thinking back to my scripture and focusing on it. i think this is going to be a work in progress, i haven't gotten that bang i am looking for…but i am going to keep working at it because i felt great! ...

still holding strong. shocking, last night was awful. i slept awful, i fell asleep on time with the alarm ready to go at 545am. not everyone in my house is the most supportive, especially lately…so that made going to sleep and sleeping challenging.  as i laid there covering my head with pillows, i remembered why i had started this whole challenge.  you see i wanted to be able to find a scripture each morning, something positive i could read and find a way to relate it into my everyday.  so as i laid there i was gong over exactly that, what i had read over the past few days and it was applying to my exact situation, it was like a light bulb went off! totally freaked me out!!! so then i told myself this and i plan on sticking exactly to this motto, that negativity is kicked out.  up early again and so happy about it. :) 

so today i set my alarm 10 minutes earlier. i did this because i went to bed last night, earlier than i had sunday night, i knew i wanted to bump my time up.  ideally i would like to hit 530am but for now i will be thrilled with 545am. the weird thing that is happening is that i am waking up several times before the alarm even goes off, it is like my body is creating its own snooze button. it is kind of annoying because i am not looking at the clock, just awake for less than a minute then back to sleep.  i am really hoping this ends and i sleep better, tonight i am going to try some lavender oil.  so here i sit, drinking my first 32 ozs of water for the day, with a blanket because i am cold, working on the scripture i am memorizing for the week and even reviewing another one that randomly happened to be in my instagram feed this morning. that one is kind of freaking me out a little bit.  im tired i want to go back to bed i just heard a creepy noise in my g...

i did it, i conquered my new goal day 1.   see i am a snoozer, like will do it for hours but i hate it! so i told myself last week that i would start this week of no snoozing.  i am taking the #getupearlychallenge and have completed day 1. my alarm went off i got right up i got right out of bed i am taking some time for me each morning day 1 is complete. would you like to go on this journey with me? 

shocking…but we have a pretty free weekend which is crazy and unheard of! so this is what i plan on doing for the weekend. but first: 1 |  grab this here snazzy fall-themed button and link back to  Sept. Farm . 2 |  link up your post at the bottom of this post. 3 |  tell all your friends + have a fantastic friday. 1// yoga - this week i haven't been able to get my hot yoga in. i have been going twice a week at the minimum while grace is at practice. it works well with dropping her off and picking up so i go get my sweat on. the thing about hot yoga…i just do not understand how my body produces that much sweat! seriously, i am in my down dog and it is literally pouring off me. when i come up and extend my arms over my head, splash splash my sweat is a flying. so sorry for those around me.  so sorry. but good lord, i love me some hot yoga and today did not disappoint.                    ...
