The Good. The Bad. The Habits. (Part 1)
I’m a creature of habit. Which is strange, because I also get bored easily. I guess what I mean is, I want to do what I want to do when I want to do it… until I get bored… then I want to do something else. Sounds reasonable, no?
There are certain things that I have to do each day… or I’m… a bit grumpy.
1. Coffee
Don’t mess with my morning coffee. I need a cup of java + almond milk + truvia. Otherwise, I’m in a haze the rest of the day.
2. Breakfast
You probably think this goes hand in hand with the coffee. But it doesn’t. Breakfast is not just this deliciousness:
(Although if I’m ever out of bananas, almond milk, truiva or peanut butter. I’m super sad because that bowl of awesomeness can’t happen.) Breakfast also must be accompanied by the Wall Street Journal. I must read the paper while eating my breakfast. Call me an old man, but it’s true. And no, the online edition is not the same. I need to spread out that not-so-eco-friendly paper. Deal with it people.
3. The gym
I’m actually really consistent with my workouts. It’s pretty rare that I miss a day at the gym. However, I don’t always push myself at the gym. That’s the bad part of this habit. Just because my butt is at the gym, doesn’t mean that butt is really getting a workout on.
4. Music
I pretty much have to have music on no matter what I’m doing. Cleaning, working, exercising, driving… I don’t like silence. I like to tell myself that music helps me focus, but that’s probably a lie. I actually just like dancing in my head. (Or bouncing on my exercise ball at work, as the case may be.)
What are some of your habits? Good ones, bad ones, share them!

I dont understand how people CANT have breakfast in the morning. Sometimes its the only reason I get out of bed 🙂
I think we are actually twins! I must have my coffee, breakfast, and newspaper in the morning and I always use vanilla almond milk and truvia carazy
I love this! You make me feel normal! Yay! I HAVE to have oats for breakfast. It’s not a good day if there are no oats or coffee. I am the same way with working out. I do it Monday through Friday, but sometimes it’s not so good.
Those are excellent habits!! I wish I went to the gym that often, that’s a habit that for me is too easy to break!
XOXO
I’ve had pretty much the same morning routine for almost 2 years (at least) now. Shower. Blow dry hair. Start coffee. Start makeup. Eat breakfast with news on. Finish hair and makeup. Out the door.
Oh and somewhere in there, I put clothes on… oops.
I need my morning coffee every single day. The one day that I don’t drink it, I get major withdrawal headaches. Plus I turn into a very cranky monster. 🙂
I’m with ya on the coffee…MUST HAVE! And I also need copious amounts of food throughout the day. And I prefer to start my day with oatmeal.
Oh yes. I must have my snacks throughout the day, or I get cranky!!
I need to make the gym one of my habits!
GOOD ONEs: exercise, healthy eating, walking my dog.
bad ones: too much tv…. not cleaning my room!
Sooo with you girl!! I need my coffee and I HATE not having music!! It drives me nuts lol
If I ever leave my headphones at home, I’m like super depressed all day!!
