Day in the Life 1.11.17

I got sucked into admin stuff today so I didn’t get to “creating” anything when it came to content for my blog or for the studio. I actually thought it would be a great day to show you in a “day in the life” format because it wasn’t so go/go, rush/rush like my normal DITL posts are.

6:45 a.m. – alarm goes off. I had aspirations of going to the gym at 7 this morning but I had terrible night sweats last night (perplexing because they’ve been SO much better lately). I decide to snooze a little longer since Wednesday mornings are my only free morning of the week where I don’t teach or train early.

7:45 a.m. – wake up again and spend 15 minutes checking in on the online/social world. I love to stay in bed and wake up slowly when I can.

Whole30 Breakfast

8:15 a.m. – make breakfast. Two eggs scrambled in coconut oil since butter is a no-go on the Whole30. OMG…how have I never done this before? I thought I wouldn’t like the egg + coconut oil combo but it was awesome. Definitely give it a go. Also, a sweet potato breakfast bowl.

8:30 a.m. – 1:15 p.m. – the vortex of my computer with the help of coffee. I do everything from answer (so, so many) emails to invoice blog clients to update studio class schedule documents to social media stuff and much more. I don’t know how the time passes so quickly. I’m always left wishing I had another five hours!

Whole30 Lunch

1:20 p.m. – make lunch which only took a few minutes thanks to prep I did yesterday! Lemony chicken and kale soup with a side salad of arugula, avocado, strawberries and pistachios and pineapple.

1:35 p.m. – hop in the shower and get ready to leave for a meeting by 1:50. Zoey is always my bathroom escort and will not let me walk in without following and plopping down.

2:10-3:20 p.m. – mastermind meeting at Advent Co-Working with Bryan and Ryan. We’ve been meeting bi-weekly for about a year and a half now. It’s so nice to meet with other people who are also working in the online space but in genres different than mine.

3:45-4:15 p.m. – arrive home and take girls for a 30-minute walk while chatting with my grandmother.

4:30 p.m. – Metro CrossFit for the 4:30 class. I KNOW. It’s been forever since I’ve CrossFitted. Here’s the thing…I’ve been in such a rut lately when it comes to getting to the gym. My schedule has been so slammed that I haven’t been making it a priority. It took all of my willpower tonight to go to the gym and not sit back down in my office chair to work until I had to teach yoga.

Metro CrossFit WOD

4:30-5:30 p.m. – get my butt kicked by this WOD. It was 3, 10-minute AMRAPs and they were TOUGH! I used a 75# bar for all of the barbell movements. I didn’t keep track of my score because…I was just there to get my sweat on and wasn’t really interested in time or reps. It was a great workout and a nice change of pace.

6-7 :15 p.m. – teach hot yoga at Y2. No photo evidence of this because it took all of my focus and energy to get a very full room of yogis of every single level through class. It was awesome and the very best way to end my day.

7:45 p.m. – arrive home after showering at the studio and hang out with the girls and check in on emails and social. Start editing photos for this post. I cracked up at the girls going to town on their bones side-by-side.

8 p.m. – pour a glass of kombucha.

Whole30 Dinner

8:45 p.m. – heat up leftovers for dinner. Slow cooker roast from Monday night with roasted red cabbage from last night.

9:15 p.m. – type up this post while watching The Good Wife, which is the latest series we are binge watching.

9:45 p.m. – hit publish on this post. I’ll finish this episode and then go read in bed! Hopefully lights out by 10:30 p.m. because I teach at 6 a.m. tomorrow.

What did you eat for dinner on Wednesday night?
