Typical Day in the life of Me v2 with Pictures

As you are reading this I am excitedly on a plane en route from Detroit to Long Beach, traveling to the seemingly mythical Sunny California that I have only heard about from others or seen pictures. A place where the sun is always shining and there is a laid-back more health conscious culture than here in the D. I am not very traveled at all, and have a whole heck of a lot of emotions being able to travel for work for the second time (They sent me to Portland once 5 years ago, which yielded much less anticipation). While I am embarking on this work trip (with plans of finding a place to WOD!), I thought it would be fun to share what a typical day is like for me when I am not being whisked away to the West Coast!

About two years ago I wrote a post about a day in the life of me, so I have put a little comparison below to see how I have changed!

Then:
6:55 Alarm, snooze
7:04 Alarm, snooze
7:13  Alarm, get up!
7:14  Brush teeth
7:16-7:30 Pack breakfast/lunch, put on makeup, find something to wear, look for keys, look for cell phone, make it out the door

Now:
6:30 – 7:00 Alarm goes off at some point according to Sleep Cycle App; fast-skim all notifications on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, G+, Timehop, Snapchat
7:15-7:30 Grab prepped breakfast/lunch, skip makeup, feed the dog, find something to wear, make Bulletproof coffee, look for keys, make it out the door

Then:
8:00-8:05 Arrive to work. Enjoy first cup of coffee.

Now:
8:00-9:00 Arrive to work. Fill up 64oz water bottle. Catch-up on blog reading. Schedule posts from Feedly using BufferApp.

Then:
9:00 Second cup of coffee
10:00 Breakfast (two eggs, avocado, some berries)

Now:
11:00 Breakfast (meat and veggies).

Then:
12:30 Lunch (chicken breast, raw veggies)

Now:
2:00 Lunch (meat and veggies)

Then:
2:00 Snack (banana or apple, usually with almond butter)

Then and Now:
4:00 Workday ends!

Then:
4:30 Arrive home from work; change into workout clothes
5:00-6:00 Workout (New Rules of Lifting for Women)

Now:
4:30 Arrive home from work; change into workout clothes. Grab blender bottle of almond milk and a banana for post-workout. Eat a fast bowl of oatmeal or a cup of Honey Nut Chex for pre-workout snack plus one or two hard-boiled eggs.

5:00-5:30 Drive to Crossfit

Then:
6:00 Dinner (spaghetti squash or meatballs pretty much make up at least two meals every week..)

Now:
5:30-8:00 Warmup, Oly-lift with my fellow Outlaw Owls, WOD, protein shake and banana

Then:
7:00-10:00 Blogging, reading, studying, catching up on TV shows (currently Pretty Little Liars, Drop Dead Diva, and Army Wives)

Now:
9:00 Dinner (usually meat and white rice); fit in a TV show if there is time (currently New Girl, Mindy Project, Modern Family), more social media-ing

Then:
10:00-10:30ish Bedtime

Now:
10:00 Epsom Salt Bath, read a book, maybe once a week, wine.

10:30 Bedtime

Then:
Repeat Monday-Friday, except Tuesday/Thursdays omit workout.

Now:
Repeat Monday – Friday, except Thursday omit workout and add laundry plus cooking dinner for my man-friend 😉

Your turn..
Any questions on my day-to-day life? Not too exciting!
How have your habits changed over the past couple years?
Do you workout at home or commute to a gym?
Are you a creature of habit or routine? Or do you do things differently everyday?
