Better Late then NEVER, I guess...
Ok, so I promised a "day in the life" and never delivered. DH and I have been off work all week, and it has been terribly lazy around here. I haven't been online much at all.
So this is it:
Typically, during a regular week, I am up before the chickens, out of bed at 4:15 and at work by 5:30-5:45 am. I usually have breakfast at around 7-ish at my desk. (Sample menu to follow), then a snack around 9:30 or so. Lunch is at 11, usually at my desk. I work on an Air Force Base in a secure building with a 30 minute lunch break, so by the time I leave the complex and get to my car lunch would be almost over. So... it's leftovers for me every day. I guess that's a blessing in disguise, because it keeps me from hitting Burger King every day of the week.
I usually have another snack at about 1 or 1:30, then off work and heading home at 2:30. Dinner is around 5 or 6, depending on hubby's schedule for the week... so my workout time is usually 3-4, between arriving home and starting dinner. Then it's karate twice a week, church on Wednesdays, whatever has to be done in the evening and bed at about 8:30 or 9.
And that's me! Every day. Week after week after week....
Sample Menu:
Breakfast - Kashi Go Lean Truly Vanilla Oatmeal with Cinnamon added and sometimes a Splenda packet. Coffee..... of course. Lots of coffee. I get up EARLY.
Snack - String Cheese and/or banana
Lunch - Salad prepared at home and brought to work with me or leftovers from the night before. Salad usually has lettuce, snap peas, carrots, turkey breast, olives, part skim mozzarella cheese.
Snack - snap peas and or more string cheese, or turkey/cheese wraps
Dinner - Just for example - Chicken breast with balsamic vinegar, stir fry veggies, sweet potato
Today's workout... well, part of it is still to come.... I ran 2 miles this morning but haven't done my FIRM workout yet. I plan on doing Supercharged Sculpting before I hit the bed tonight and some kind of ab work.
