That dreaded work-out routine.

I mean really. I have to do this. For my heart, for my sanity, and to get toned. So how do you do it? I need tips. I leave my house no later than 7 am M-F and don't return home until 4:30 three days out of the work week. The other two, I go straight to grad class and don't get home until 8 (those days are over 12 hour days). And as a teacher, it's not like I get nice lunch breaks where I can go walk...I'm lucky to make it with enough time to sit down and complete my lunch before picking up my kiddos again. Trying not to complain...just being honest. So how do I fit this in?

Finding healthy things to pack for lunch.

I'm beyond bored of turkey sandwiches on whole grain bread and regular salads. Give me some tips...what are your healthy lunch go-tos for when you pack your lunch?

Giving up the soda, pop, Coke,
(or whatever you call it).

This is probably the one I'm doing the best with. I haven't had a Diet Coke in I don't know how long, and honestly, I don't miss them. (Never thought I'd say that!) But what I've figured out about myself, is that I crave the "fiziness" of a Coke sometimes. What do you do to satisfy those cravings? Tips?

Making time to be creative (or do whatever hobby you enjoy).

Plain and simple...how do you make yourself take time to relax and have time for your hobbies? I know with spring break and then summer break coming soon after, I'll have gobs of time (whoo hoo)! And for that I feel extremely blessed. But how do you make time for this in your everyday, working life?
(and because I like to keep things in increments of 5...)

Quiet time.

I've explained before that I use my commuting time to be in silence and pray and listen to God. That's been so crucial for my faith during the past few years. What I'm not so great about is taking time to sit down, read my bible, and really study it. It comes and goes in waves. Where do you carve out time for this?
{One more thing...}
And a bonus question...do you all have cable? Is it worth it to keep it in the budget in your opinion? If so, what's your argument for keeping it around? If you've nixed it from the budget, or never had it in the budget, what was the deciding factor? For my sweet hubby, how does your hubby "survive" without it? This is one we're contemplating as a family...not sure what to do.
Whew. That feels good to get off my chest! Maybe seeing it written down here will also help me with accountability. Ladies...share your hearts out! And thanks in advance for any of your tips...y'all are huge inspirations in my life!
Happy weekend!
