"The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine." -Mike Murdock

I decided to do another "Day in the Life" post for ya. Keeping a daily routine has helped me to keep track of myself, keep track of my food, and keep myself active. Because of routine, I don't view things like jogging as a choice. It is part of the schedule, therefore it is not optional in my mind! As far as I can tell, that's the only way to look at it...Eating right should not be viewed as optional, either. Sure, you can veer away from time to time to indulge, which is what you should view as optional. Eating healthy should be considered your norm. I know, I went off on a tangent :) It was something I needed to remind myself as well!

Once again, starting with breakfast after I get to work.
