Newly Wed Tip #10 - Celebrate the small things

Newly Wed Tip #10 - Celebrate!! No matter how big or small

 

 

 

Life goes by fast. And if we don't stop to enjoy it, it will be over before we know. We all take life too seriously sometimes and stress over things that aren't worth the stress.

 

Marriage is the same. We fight over things that are stupid and pointless and don't celebrate or enjoy each other when we should. Don't let life take away from the time you have to spend with your spouse. Celebrate together, even if its the small things.

 

Rich and I celebrate together when one or the other accomplishes something, no matter how big or small. We celebrate when I rank advance in my business, we celebrate every time he bends his knee to a higher degree, we celebrate when I finish a workout program from beginning to end, we celebrated when his knee brace was unlocked.

 

What do I mean by we celebrate? I don't mean get all dolled up and go out to a fancy restaurant every time something happens and spend a lot of money. What we do is shout YAY, smile, clap, pat one another on the back, make a special dinner for the bigger accomplishments, etc. When I say celebrate I mean acknowledge the other one and what is a success to them. Don't ignore it or just shrug it off like no big deal. MAKE A BIG DEAL about it. Make your spouse feel special!



 

Don’t get so caught up in your  schedule and daily routines that you miss the celebrations no matter how little. Remember these are the things that will bring joy and happiness not just to your marriage but to your daily crazy everyday life. 

Insanity starts Tomorrow!!!!

Tomorrow I start my journey with Insanity. Day 1 will be the Fit Test. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I am excited to start something new. Yet, I am nervous because of how long it is, how intense it is going to be, and I don't want to give up!! So you will be taking this journey with me and being my accountability partner. I plan on posting 5-7 days a week about my journey and how I truly feel, what I like and don't like and my meal plan.

I will be doing the 21 day fix meal plan along with the insanity program. I have to go up in containers from where I am at now. I am not happy about that because I struggle getting all my carbs / starches in on a daily basis because I have celiac's and have learned to live without them the past 14 years. However, I will eat everything I am told to eat because I want to have the energy and ability to do Insanity and say I finished it!

Here is a copy for my meal plan for week 1 of insanity.

Check back with me tomorrow on how Insanity Day 1 Fit Test Goes!! :)
