habit of the week - get up and go.

-



Good afternoon all! :) I hope you are having a great start to your week. I am back with my second habit of the week post! I’ll start with a review of last week’s habit, and then talk about my new one for this week!

Last week, I did the ‘morning workout’ habit. Honestly, that was awesome. I love starting my morning with a bit of exercise - it really sets a good tone for the day. I didn’t get as many runs in as I wanted - apparently, when you go from running about once a month to every other day your body may not react so well?? Who knew?? Oops haha. But I still did get a few runs in, which was nice.

One thing I found super useful was making at least some of the workouts fun. If it is something I am looking forward to, I am much more likely to do it. And for right now especially, when I just want to try and set the habit, I want to make sure I actually do it. Once it’s a habit it will likely be easier to mix things up or make them more difficult! For example, on one of the days, I did a Hamilton Musical dance workout I found on YouTube! That was a ton of fun. And I worked up quite a sweat doing it - I was a little surprised, if I’m honest, cause I haven’t had the best experience with dance workouts in the past. I’ve probably just been doing them wrong, or finding the wrong ones! But that one was definitely a good one. I’m going to find one like it for today too, I think. 

So, to conclude, I would DEFINITELY recommend the morning workout habit. I’m going to try and make it a proper habit for August, as I feel so much better when I’m regularly working out. Are you going to try it? Do you do it already? Any tips for keeping it up? Let me know in the comments or on insta (@getupandoutblog)!

In other news, this week’s habit! I am calling it ‘get up and go’. Basically, I spend too much time on my phone every morning, and it wastes time I don’t want to waste! So, I am going to try and make my bed and go downstairs first thing every morning. To keep myself accountable I’m going to share a picture on my instagram story of my made bed every morning, starting tomorrow, and then my breakfast. If I can turn this into a real habit, I think I would be so much more productive, and it would probably help my workout habit too! 

I’ll be back next Tuesday to let you all know how it went. My fingers are crossed, I think this could be really good. What habits are you hoping to start? Any ideas for new habits? Let me know in the comments!

I hope you all have a wonderful day, and I’ll see you on Sunday for a new post!

Hey hey hey! How are you all? So, it's Sunday! Meaning, I'M BACK :)))) Okay, so I thought I'd do a combination post, since I only got one question haha :D So first for the question from  +Paige Petrovsky  : What made you want to start a blog ? THANKS FOR YOUR QUESTION :))))))  I had always kind of wanted to do something like this, before I started. I loved (and still love) writing, and photography. I had just read Zoella's book, Girl Online, and so decided that it would be super cool to start a blog myself!! And here we are, two years later, still lovin' it :)) Alright. Now, I'm super excited to be doing a tag today!!!! The lovely  Sweet Treats  nominated me for the Mystery Bloggers Award!! A massive thank you to them, I'm honoured!! You should definitely go check out their blog cause it is pretty freaking awesome!! :) Also, the creator of this award is  Okoto Enigma , who is also pretty cool!! You should definitely check out her blog as well. I

  Hello! Long time no see, haha oops. It's been a minute. So today, I wanted to do a mini recap on my fave shows so far since quarantine! I'm sure I'm not alone in watching significantly more netflix since quarantine began lol. However, I wanted to give it a bit of a twist. So without further ado, I give you my quarantine thus far, as told through TV shows. Friends/The Goodwife - March/April/May Okay this is back when quarantine first began. My life consisted of watching Friends, doing schoolwork, procrastinating, doing more schoolwork, watching the Goodwife, and studying for exams. I can't actually remember which one I watched first - I think I watched them together. Luckily by this time there wasn't too much schoolwork left haha. But I watched all of both these shows those 3 months...I was a bit obsessed if you can't tell. But the episodes for friends were only 20ish minutes long! I would 100% recommend both of these shows though, amazing pieces of work.  10/1

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to my blog! As a writer, I know that finding inspiration for my stories can be a bit tricky at times. When you need ideas, they never seem to come! In fact, it's a bit like automatic flushing toilets. I don't know how it is for everybody else (maybe it's just me!) but the toilets always seem to flush when you DON'T want them to, and at the most inopportune moments. But then, when you need them to flush, they never seem to work! It's a bit like finding inspiration because when you don't need to find it, it just comes to you! But then, when you have writer's block and you NEED that inspiration, it just disappears like it was never there in the first place. This is why I decided to create this blog: Get Up And Out. It's all about trying new things, and perhaps finding some inspiration along the way. Did you know that trying new things challenges your brain, and helps to prevent Alzheimer's? Plus, it can be super fun as well. I'll
