HEALTHY & REALISTIC MARRIED MORNING ROUTINE | workouts, smoothies, conception pills, devotionals

🎶 Good morning you guys. First and foremost, welcome back to our channel. That felt so weird to do without Chad but Chad is still sleeping and we just wanted to do a realistic morning routine and show you guys how different it is now that we are in Florida. I feel like since we've moved our routine has changed so much in the mornings and Chad tends to sleep in a little longer than me which if you watched our previous morning routine you know that Chad used to be the early bird and now things have taken a turn and so it's like 645 right now. Something that I highly highly recommend, I'm not sure if y'all caught that in that little scene but I like to lay out my workout clothes in the bathroom before I go to sleep at night because if you saw I leave my phone in the bathroom as well and so I wake up and it's dark and I like sneak around our bed to go to the bathroom to put my workout clothes on and I have to do it like a little mouse because I'm trying not to like wake Chad up and so for the longest time I was trying to figure out how to get dressed in the dark and that just was not working out very well for me and I feel like since I started laying out my clothes before the whole morning just goes a lot smoother so I feel like a good morning routine actually starts the night before and so anyways I am about to do a little workout I do want to thank open fit for sponsoring this video I'm really excited to share with you guys more about this program the app the whole nine yards but just to preface I was gonna go outside and do this nice little stretch and bar class on our patio and you know it's raining outside so I'm about to just rearrange the living room just a little bit and do it in here but it's such a nice way to wake up I have my Celsius I have my big water jug I'm not sure if this is for everyone but for me personally I was literally actually just talking to my counselor about this because she was like what helps keep the anxiety away for you and for me personally it is a solid morning routine where I work out in the morning it doesn't have to be a long workout but as long as I move my body in the morning it is like better than coffee better than a Celsius truly it just like releases my endorphins and I feel like I'm so much more productive during the day and so if y'all been following me over on Instagram you've kind of seen these like healthy Tori updates because as of recently Chad and I have really tried to make a switch over to being more healthy to honoring our body we did a podcast on it I'm sure we'll talk more about it in this video anyway so I want to share with you guys about open fit so it's this amazing app I'll share a little screen grab right now but you guys know my favorite like go-to workouts are bar and Pilates and any kind of stretching I think it's because I grew up a dancer and it's just the workouts that I tend to like gravitate towards also because my joints are like I swear I'm like 80 years old and so I wanted to share with you that I had a 21 day free trial and so if you guys want to do it with me then make sure to click the link in the bio and the goal here is not only just to increase flexibility not just that we want to kick higher make our splits we want to move with efficiency we want to increase our mobility we want to move with less injury right so that's what this does that's what stretching does consistently helps us to move our bodies more fluidly and so that we can do all of our moves without injury okay guys that workout is a wrap that was so fun I did the little stretch and then I did the first day of the 21 day Pilates that with Andrea Roberts so fun I love her personality I feel motivated and ready to start the day thank you again to open fit for sponsoring this portion of the video you guys I'll have a link below you want to do this whole program with me for 21 days it's free so we could do it together which is really exciting you also have access to a ton of other trainers celebrity trainers hit workouts running workouts walking workouts like the whole nine yards I'll just have to like check out this app it's really legit and also super affordable if you want to extend it past the 21 day free trial so I'll link that below for you guys and I feel like we should check Chad cam because I think I heard a little something something upstairs and that boy might be awake and boobies it was sleeping a medium hot vanilla latte mm-hmm thank you and I say welcome back to the channel right now uh-huh welcome back to the channels sure you make this video I do what Chad says these beautiful little mugs all right let's go get a coffee baby gets his famous latte you work out early but they always work out early baby I was telling them if they remember our LA morning routine you used to be the one waking me up mm-hmm I don't know what happened I don't know what happened either but maybe you should do one of the little stretch exercises with me to wake up I did do a video stretch you did mm-hmm you did it I'm so limber watch this do you see that mm-hmm oh I don't have it's the first sip the Chad's famous latte Wow and you say there's no God oh my my freaking Lanta's or even talking about we weren't talking about anything that's right what do we want to talk about anything huh I'm realizing more and more and more that I talk out of like this side on mouth I want to talk about I want to talk out of the middle not the side side to side all right so this is I guess what I'll call it is my accountable and realistic healthy morning routine I wish I could tell you that my my morning routine included like you know by like 7 a.m. I'm on my third hour of prayer I've taken a cold shower I've taken all my vitamins I've lost 20 pounds I saved a puppy from a burning fire and all that stuff that you see a lot of other youtubers do I'm not throwing shade I'm just like that's not that's not realistic for me and I've tried a lot of cool new habits that I've really enjoyed but for some reason not a lot of them has stuck and it could be just because lack of discipline who knows but so I think what's been interesting for me is I've been trying to find a routine that works for me that works with you know me having a wife and my friends and our job that we have and the home that we're building and what works for my lifestyle and so that's what I've really been working on the most is and then optimizing that and so the things that have helped me the most of that helped me the most with that is number one being realistic with myself and what I can handle I can't handle an hour and a half workout I don't have time you know I wish I could because I wish I could be in the best shape ever but I can't and I wish that I could just handle any stress in the world and just work and just complete everything but things happen it doesn't always work that way and then on the other side with accountability I realized I can't do this alone and so what I typically would do in the mornings is I've changed my devotional routine a bit and I don't encourage this for everybody but for me I tend to overanalyze my life a little bit even whenever I'm reading scripture I tend to read it and I'm just like I don't allow it to read me I'm just like what does he mean by this conception of this is this and I miss the story you know I miss everything I'm trying to understand every I'm trying to extract every single little piece of it which is super sweet and awesome but for someone who does struggle with overanalyzing life I need to just like sit in it and just and just like this sounds weird but just like let it wash over me so one thing that my buddy Ben and I've been doing and he's really helped me because he's kept me accountable to spend time in scripture every single morning is that I actually just listen to the Bible app you know I'm working through the Gospels and this is how it sounds I'm sure some of you guys some of you all have done this before but I just I do two chapters a day and I put it on and I lay down and listen so it's like this so anyways I'm not gonna make you watch that whole thing of me but I think what I really love about that is that I'm not standing too close to the trees that I miss the forest and I'm really enjoying the story of it of it all and I'm just kind of experiencing it like that because that's been really special for me I don't always want things to like make sense logically I want to feel them too I tend to go down the route of like okay this makes sense so it's true but then I also I do want to feel things too so if you struggle with that then I encourage you to you know find ways to implement that into your your morning routine night night routine whatever it may be so the next part of my morning routine is actually a workout which I typically used to do at night but then I realized that I wasn't getting it done I would put it off put it off put it off at the end of the day and then I'm just like oh I'm too tired I don't want to go and so but I was also on the other hand when I try to work out in the morning I would get a little sick because I would wake up super early and my body hadn't fully just like come awake and so I had to find like I have a medium and my friends helped me do that where I'm in a I'm in a group chat with three other friends and we're called the beach bod babes and we do these video workouts with each other and what's cool is that we do it in home and there's absolutely no no weights needed or no machines needed and instead of me just showing you a time-lapse of me working out I'm just gonna tell you a funny story of what happened to me yesterday I'm doing the workout where I have the video up on my phone and I'm watching it and we're doing this thing what's called a um a push-up and I'll see if I can show you guys what that looks like wonder if you can see this it's like this and you push up like this well you did that and then later on in the workout remember these things are only 20 minutes so we're moving about every 30 seconds to a minute and then we went to like a pike plank which obviously is just just this then we do a few other workouts and then it said something on my little phone screen it said pike like or naggers and I looked at it I'm just like huh that's interesting and so I'm kind of like low-key watching my phone while trying to do the what trying to do the workout at the same time and I saw what the guy did and I thought it said pike neck like a neck workout so I did this and whenever I got tired of that I look back up and I realized it said pike neg as in negatives where you're supposed to just slowly do those push-ups very slowly and so for about 15 seconds I rested on my head Lord anyways so that's what I've been doing and that's actually been a lot of fun for me because I'm able to be realistic with myself and we have a notes we have Apple notes and I'll show you this I don't want to give too much away we have different emojis we have a pizza emoji cheeseburger emoji a donut emoji and a taco emoji for the four of us and we put little emojis on the days that we actually accomplished so it keeps me accountable and I love that because that's something I need if we're ever gonna have discipline in life we need things to keep us accountable like for example with Tori she keeps her phone in the bathroom and so when her alarm goes off she actually has to get up and that helps her stay disciplined and so we all have to put different things into motion had a duck or is it an otter anyways we have to always put things into my dog right now squirrel to help us accomplish the things we want to accomplish because more often than not we don't have the willpower to do it on our own which is not a bad thing willpower is not created equal I've said it once I'll say it again willpower is something that we develop as we practice our disciplines and so we don't just wake up one day and decide that we're gonna wake up at 530 pray for our fast for 10 hours take a cold shower or work out for an hour we don't we don't just do all that at once it takes time to implement things that work into your daily schedule and that's what we've been working on I'm hopping off my soapbox I wonder what's next the moment of truth also how cute are these little cups Amazon I'll link my Amazon store front below it's all about consistency oh well oh I think there's a couple chunks in there okay tastes good couple little chunks in there but I never did mind some some fruit chunks got my smoothie I want to show you the supplements I'm taking now so I'm taking some these are probiotics and they're for immune health and digestive health because I have a ton of digestive issues so he's really good for that this is another probiotic but this is like for your mind like cognitive little something something and it's also supposed to help enhance your mood and brain function so I take to these these are all the by optimizers these these two are I take some vitamin D especially because I've been getting over that little cold or whatever I had so lots of vitamin D and then y'all are gonna laugh at me but my friend said that she saw these on tik-tok and y'all know that we've been trying to get pregnant and so anyways I started taking these little they're just little vitamins but apparently I don't know are you roasting us right now no baby I'm showing them the supplements I take and I take the conception one conception 2021 baby we're trying y'all anyways tick-tock trend right now I feel embarrassed that I'm sharing that but there's that so these are the four little pills I'm taking and then I'm taking mine Modere life this is for joints it's just really really good it's like liquid collagen so it's supposed to be like absorb a lot better than the powder collagens and then the trim y'all this stuff tastes like chocolate no joke like a chocolate pudding and it's supposed to inhibit fat storage improve muscle tone and restore useful skin so wait I'm gonna show y'all what this looks like it's unreal it's I've yet to board in my spoon and not spill it as I'm trying to take it so we'll see maybe if I get really no way yeah see maybe the pressure just good under pressure y'all this one tastes like fruit juice all right I'm gonna finish taking these and then let's do a little devotional I just wanted to read a little bit of this Devo to you guys so good obviously I'm reading out the thrive Bible um Wow so dirty I need to get probably a new one at some point but I can't get rid of it because I love all my notes in it have you ever heard that quote if your Bible's falling apart that means you're probably not I like it anyways so this devotional is in Luke but I just wanted to read a little bit of it it says beloved child and if you listen to our podcast you know that I changed beloved daughter to beloved child because it's speaking to the daughters and the sons so it says I am the giver of good news when you wake up in the morning anticipate the good news I bring as you read my word walk with joy celebrate each day that you get to live for me if you continue to keep your eyes on me I will give you joy continually you don't need to look to anyone else to find your faith or your passion for life my word is true and in it you will find many promises don't be afraid to believe I am who I say I am and will do as I have promised be at peace knowing that I hold you and your future in my heavenly hands love your Heavenly Father and then it also says in the reflection it says how many times do we miss the joy in the journey of God's blessings because we don't believe that he is good how it must break our Heavenly Father's heart when we won't receive his good news with great joy so believe that God's good news and receive the joy that he promises y'all there's something to be said about joyful anticipation because I think it's really easy to get lost in the journey and be anxious in the journey and only be looking forward to the promise versus the process and you know none of us like to wait it's not like a fun term but we can be joyful inside our waiting when we're doing it with God and we're seeking him and we're digging into his word every day like there's joy inside of just reading this and knowing that he wants to speak to you and when you open it with that anticipation it's so different when you're like okay God I'm opening this I'm inviting you in and I'm wanting you to speak to me and knowing that he will just gives you like a new awareness for his presence and so I say something yeah so one thing that just kind of struck me based on what you're saying is the idea of like the process and the waiting and the waiting process is that in 1st Corinthians 13 the first description of love is love is patient right love is patient love is kind yeah is it the other way love is patient love is kind and so I think that any chance that we have to exercise patience or waiting is a chance to grow in love and we should jump to that opportunity when we are in a season of waiting or a process of waiting yeah this is not a bad thing you're exactly where God wants you to be because you're you have a chance to grow in love I mean that's the first description of love that's mentioned there and so I just love that it's like it's like almost like flipping the script of like oh I'm just waiting it's like almost like waiting at a red light well like waiting at a red light and waiting on God is to our two totally different things right and so well but but I just thought about this thing when you're waiting at a red light you know it's gonna turn green Oh expectancy you know it's gonna come you're joyfully expectant because you know that life gonna turn green at some point you know sometimes those lights be long long it'd be like that sometimes sorry for you this is me prepping for next week's cooking which had episode into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process because I like my hardwood eggs to be a medium but there was one a trick I wanted to try what's that I think it will be excellent here's what you do you take an egg and I guess you crack the bottom and you take that bottom bit off I think no wait you crack the top and you pull that off once it's like peeled off Chad what do you do for your time hold my beer watch this and even blow in it it'll pop it you ready it came out we back we back it's been a little bit you guys just like popped into the future so you're welcome for speeding up time we got ready and we drove to Tampa and we got some starves I got a London fog you know what that is I was just it's a gloomy day in Florida so I'm like I need some cozy tea and I got a little medicine ball tea which is just an accumulation of a bunch of oh maybe that's oh why did you do that did you drink out of this one I didn't I was wondering because I didn't know if you could taste the difference that's definitely the medicine ball it's hot it's really hot not super hot but it's hot she's not hot but like she would say I like it okay you don't like it sorry there's someone walking behind us guys we get so awkward when we try to vlog in public that was our morning routine even though at this point in time it's technically the afternoon but we hope y'all enjoyed it we know that morning routines tend to change depending on what season of life you're in and anyways there's one last thing I wanted to say before we hop off and go into this meeting that we're in Tampa for I read this book called rich dad poor dad and they're one of the main principles of the book is to pay yourself first and it's a whole thing check out the book if you want to but it basically stems down to if you don't pay yourself first you pay yourself last and what happens is you think you're gonna pay yourself last but you tend to put it off just like what I mentioned earlier about me needing to work out earlier because if I don't work out early I'm just gonna keep putting it off and then I'm gonna be too tired to go so I do exactly what I want to do in the morning I know that we have a little bit more freedom than others because we work for ourselves but yeah you know if you can maybe schedule time in whether it's 30 minutes or 20 minutes or an hour waking up early to make sure that you do what you want to do first because it makes you excited and make to go throughout the rest of your day because you've already enjoyed something that you wanted to do so sometimes for me it's watching tennis sometimes it's sleeping in sometimes it's making a nice breakfast or meeting up with a friend or something it really does vary but I feel good because I took care of myself I essentially put on my mask first and then I can go throughout the day and so that's my little bit we got to go we got to be on time all right before we're late we love y'all we hope you enjoyed the video if you're new here hit the subscribes button push the bell ding-a-ling-a-ling let's go we got to go do you want to try to do the thing because you say I always do it wrong
