I am focusing on getting a handle on my new schedule. It is a lot harder than it looks to not waste time on random things and to just stick to getting my homework done. But today I thought I would look at my morning routine and talk about the new aspects I am adding to it.
Lately, I have been having problems with breakouts on my face. I know it is due to my lack of washing my face every night before I go to bed and I also lean my lower jaw on my chin quite often. These are two habits I need to break, so I purchased the Proactive system to help me keep on track with my face washing and clean up my skin. I received the system last Wednesday and started it that night.
Proactive is a three part system. The first is a scrub that you use for 1-2 minutes and then wash off. It is rough with little scrubby bubble in it. This is washed off after the allotted time and pat dry (Though you need to make sure that you use a white towel to pat your face dry because it WILL bleach your fabrics.). The second step is to use a cotton ball and take the green liquid (like astringent) and cover your entire face with it, allowing it to dry. Most astringent burns, but I am happy to report that this does not. The final step is a white cream that you will then cover your face with and allow to dry.
After only about 1/2 a week of use, I can already say that I am happy with the product. My face is softer, both visibly and tactically, and I can already tell that my skin is looking clearer. Not only am I getting these bonuses, this system makes me want to take better care of my skin. I need to wash my face morning and night to get the best results so the system helps be build better habits.
Another addition to my morning routine is a teeth whitener. I always enjoy having whiter teeth so I recently picked up Crest White Strips, the 7 day system. I have used this in the past, but the 14 day system that shows results but at a much slower rate. I am hoping this pack will show the desired results.
I have also purchased EA Sports Active and have been doing the exercises every morning. Now, you may not believe me but dang that is a workout! I was sweating my butt off the first day. They had me running, squatting, cardio boxing, and many more. I will say that I am pretty impressed. The workouts last around 30 minutes and burn around 200 calories. Not only am I burning calories, but there are also toning exercises.
There is a 30 day program in the game that I am doing now. It sets goals in calorie burns and time. I am interested to see where this game goes in terms of other workouts and helping me with weight loss. I am also walking for an hour with my dogs each day. I am hoping that balancing a good diet while doing the walks and the 30 day program will show results.
I am going for the goal of 2-4 pounds per week loss. Let’s get this party started!
