5 Things Making Me Feel Great!

Last week, I mentioned the Winter Blues were hitting hard and early. So this week I thought I would mention five things lately that have been really making me feel almost like a new woman!

No, I am not pregnant. I just really like these vitamins. I seriously, will never swallow another multivitamin again. I take two of these and then some other supplements like Iron, Fish Oil, Vitamin D, B12 and Vitamin C.  So I have been taking these regularly for two weeks. Game changer! I feel so much better physically, more alert and just a tad more energetic.

My daily goal is 96 ounces of water. Definitely do not always hit that goal, but I sure try my hardest. Nothing bugs me more than when someone drinks from my water cup because then I feel like my "count" is over.  Silly but true!  I know we all hear it all the time how important water is to our bodies. However, it is so crazy after barely drinking any water except in the form of coffee to regularly drinking water. I feel so much better!

Now, I know she is not the trendiest work out available at the moment, but girlfriend knows how to squeeze a killer workout into 30 minutes. Jillian kicked my booty after 2 babies. She helped me get into shape for the first time year ago. She is brutal but she is my homegirl for life. (She just doesn't know it). I also love a good kettlebell work out, so this is definitely one of my favorite DVD's to do. It does always get a little interesting when I have two little boys running around me while I am trying to swing the kettlebell.

I have been trying to make sure I read around 30 minutes a day. I really enjoy reading and I love a variety of books. These two I finished this week. They could not be more opposite but like I said I like a variety. Only problem is that I have a tendency when I am reading novels to stay up waaaay too late to finish the book.

  My alarm has been going off at 4am the past two weeks. It is not pretty. Thankfully my husband leaves my coffee on my nightstand before he leaves for work. He wakes up at 3:30am for work. The coffee almost makes up for him laughing every morning when the alarm goes off. My boys wake up anywhere between 5:30-6am. So this lets me having some coffee, and just prep and start the day in a calm manner. Over the past few months, I stopped doing this and I missed it. It is so crazy what a difference it makes in my attitude. I wish I could say I just out of bed and hop on my treadmill, but that would be a lie. I am more like that e-card up there. I need a full cup of coffee in me before I can even stomach the idea of physical exercise. My next goal is to carryover this habit in to the weekend. That one is a tough one.  Really, who wants to be up early on the weekend?

So there are just a few of the things making me feel great this week.
