Day 6
I can’t believe I’ve been really sticking with this morning journal, heck, this morning routine! Y’all will be proud: I got up at 7am today. So close to 6! Tomorrow it will have to be 6. I determined on my lazy days it takes 2 hours to do everything in the routine but I didn’t really time myself. Maybe today won’t take as long as I’m watching the clock to make sure I stick with it. It makes it easier to get through the workout, stay focused during the journal, and trying not to get sidetracked because there is that focus on the clock. And no, Tyler, I don’t have to be tough to be fit. I can watch a clock if I want, too! Just so everyone else can follow this, Tyler helped me work out the other day and he wouldn’t tell me how much time was left in my plank. I’m telling y’all, this was the longest plank of all time. (Not really, that’s a total exaggeration). BUT it felt like forever. When I do timed workouts, especially planks or wall-sit type things, I watch the clock, it helps me know how much longer to withstand the pain. Tyler thinks (and is probably right, honestly) that if you don’t watch the clock and just push to go longer, as long as you can, then you will be stronger. He told me, “You have to be tough to be fit.” We got a kick out of it for a good little while. He’ll probably still say it. I’m curious what my roommate, Laura’s, opinion is on this. Maybe I can get her to read this. Thanks for tuning in! This girl is probably tough and fit....

What were people obsessed with? (Future us will look back and say...)
That’s it for today, folks. Please comment below what else you think people are obsessed with today.
Day 3: Journal says, “What’s on your mind this morning?”
Well this morning I got the call that I will in fact be receiving the long-term substitute job at my student teaching school for the spring semester. And my pay is much higher than I expected, which will be a real blessing when moving into our own apartment in May. I go back to Charlottesville on the 9th, starting my job on the 10th. My first week shouldn’t be too crazy… I’ll start off the week at home, going to some appointments, then I’ll pop by to say bye to my momma, get all my things together, and head up to Cville. Hopefully I can arrive without snow conflicts, unpack, prep for work, and still make it to baton practice since my girls have a contest on Saturday. I can’t believe how fast it snuck up on me this year. They will be fine. They always are… I am not too worried for my job. I’m familiar with the school and how things are done. I am still unsure who, when, and what I’ll be teaching, but I’m hoping I’ll have at least some guidelines as to what’s already been done. I’ll figure all that out soon enough. I’m not worried since I will try to just meet the kids and see where they are when I start off. Well my time is up. I feel like I could write for days but I guess then no one would read it. Happy Friday, folks! Please enjoy Channing Tatum bringing the snow this weekend, featured below as "Elsa." Hello people reading my blog. I'm starting a new morning routine with this new year and each day I'll write in my "journal" for five minutes and then I'll post it on here. This will truly be a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get. Enjoy. Day 1 Here’s my first journal. What should I write? Things I’m grateful for…
I don’t have much time left, but cheers to the new morning schedule. May the odds be ever in my favor. 6am is happening tomorrow. I can do this. Amy Day 2
So, 6 AM didn’t happen… But it is not too late, friends. I have until Monday to get this right, since that's when I'll actually NEED to get up for my appointments. Although today went much faster so 6:30 is seeming much more plausible. Today, I think I’ll write about how important it is to keep friends close but yourself closer. And the fact that this five minute journal could be my blog...I’ll have to consider it. Friends are great. If you have them...HA. Anyway, friends do right by you. They look out for you, you look out for them, you make sacrifices, you laugh, you cry, etc. etc. When it comes down to it (and by “it,” I mean anything and everything), your own opinion is the one that matters. If you don’t like your hair color or your body or what news channel you watch in the morning or the clothes you wear or how you talk or who you talk to, then you change it. You can only be better than yourself. No one can tell you what to do or how to do it or why to do it. I mean, they can, but only if you choose to listen to them. We all make decisions everyday according to what the latest survey said, but what about your own thoughts? Who’s really in charge here. HELLO, you are. News flash, people, it’s 2017 and in this generation, we do what we want to do because we wanted to do it and not because someone else said, “eh, not today.” We can all learn a thing or two from our elders, our friends, and people who we see viral videos of and say, “I’ll never be that stupid.” When it comes down to “it,” do what you want because in the end, it’s your life; make yourself happy.
