A day in the life :)

I thought about how crazy my schedule seems this morning and thought I would share. 
AM 3:30 up, get dressed for the gym and take my dog outside
3:45 Prep chicken (for the next few days) and put in oven to cook
4:05 In CY gym to do cardio:  30 min step mill & 15 min spin bike
4:50 "Booty" exercises (Cable kickbacks, Reverse Hypers, Abd & Abb machine, and Leg press with ass. pullup mach.)
5:30 Home, shower, pack meals 2-5, put clothes in dryer, tend to cat & dog, pack for ballgame tonight, get dressed for work, wake Hannah up, fix my breakfast, fix Hannah's breakfast, take a small meal of vitamins and such, unload dishwasher, pull chicken out of oven to cool, load up all of my bags and leave to take Hannah to school and go to work.
7:45 Work till 3:00, go pick up Hannah from school, go back to work until 4:30.
4:30 Leave to go to Cierra's 5:00 softball game.
6:30 Head home with girls.
7:00 Get home, make sure girls eat dinner, tend to cat and dog, unpack all my bags, put clothes on to wash, bag chicken and cook veggies, get ready for bed.
9:00 Bed (hopefully) 

Funny how we manage to fit in exactly what we want into our day.  If it is important we WILL find time to make it happen.
Are you making it happen?  Could you lose 30 minutes of sleep to go workout?  Could you use your lunch break to go for a walk?  Or could you get your household "started" in the afternoon then pop in a workout video while dinner is cooking?  What are you doing for yourself? 

If momma is not happy, nobody is happy!  :)

  1. OMG what a mad day - sounds like my day! i have 3 kids - 13, 12 and 8 and a bazillion sports to take them to. hubby doesnt come home til his job is finished for the day (he is a builder) so i can never rely on him - i feel like a single mother. i wish i could workout in the morning but i'm def a night person so i go to the gym at night (fitting in with car pooling for my daughter's dancing) and finish when the gym closes at 9pm. my job is from 9ish til 3. good for you doing that - when do you get time to blog (hahaha). i'm enjoying your blog! cheers, Amanda
