HABITS THAT HAVE CHANGED OUR LIVES

Here is a list of the top habits that we have implemented over the years that have positively impacted our lives. These are the things we try our very best to do daily in order to feel our best, perform at an optimal level & overall live a healthy lifestyle.

Wake Up Early

By waking up early, we feel like we are much more productive and can take time for ourselves first thing in the morning before our baby gets up. The prioritization of ourselves has also been crucial in keeping our marriage healthy.  Starting our days early sets the tone for the remainder of our day!

Make Your Bed 

This is a non-negotiable for us. There is never a day that goes by that our bed stays unmade. We love a perfectly made bed – nothing better than starting your day off with a win right off the bat! Also, nothing beats crawling into a cleanly made bed every night! If you have trouble with this one, read the book: Make Your Bed

Daily Movement

We love to move our bodies and be active. It has definitely become one of the best habits that we have committed to in the past ten years of our lives. Whether it be strength training or a simple walk outside, daily movement allows us to feel our best!

Spend Time Outside

Getting outside for a minimum of thirty minutes a day to get some fresh air and sunshine helps us so much. Not only does it positively impact our mood, but it positively affects our sleep as well! Melatonin is actually made when you expose yourself to sunshine!

Daily Prayer

We always end our day praying together before we go to sleep. We thank God for blessing us with another day and all of the blessings we have in our life. We pray for our health, our marriage, our daughter, our dogs, our friends, our family, and anyone else who may need extra prayers. It’s a great way to end the day and give thanks to the Lord.

Prioritize Protein & Fiber Intake

We always feel our best when we prioritize our protein and fiber intake. Protein and fiber are crucial for satiety when you are trying to adhere to a calorie deficit in fat loss phases. As calories come down it is imperative that you consume filling foods and those that contain large amounts of protein and fiber tend to have a substantial effect on feeling full. Protein is also crucial for cell repair regardless of tissue type, but if you are training rigorously then its importance is tenfold with regards to muscle building. Fiber has heart health benefits in conjunction with its most commonly thought of benefit which is digestion. If you don’t necessarily want to track your calories, we would recommend at least tracking protein and fiber to ensure you are hitting both of these to feel your best! Aim for 0.8-1.0 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight & 10-12 grams of fiber per 1,000 calories you consume!

We hope our habits inspire you to hopefully take action and begin implementing some habits of your own! Just remember that these should be things that you can do for the long haul!
