Sometimes I sit down to write a blog and can't think of anything to say because it feels ridiculous. Truth is though, we all like to snoop on each other (and why Facebook will never go away). Every time I feel dumb writing a post, I think about whether I would read this entry on the four million blogs I read. Usually, the answer is yes.
So in the interest of you snoopers, let's do a day in the life of Allison.
My weekly schedule changes a bit based on my work schedule. This is a typical Wednesday.
Wake up: eat breakfast and read blogs.
Favorite breakfast this week is gluten free oats, with powdered peanut butter (same as PB2), egg whites and sweetened with a bit of Stevia. Oatmeal stopped keeping me full all of a sudden so I tried adding some egg whites for protein. Worked like a charm! Coffee not pictured.
Then it's off to work!
A theme of client thank you notes seems to be fashion. I guess my pants are a little loud?
Lunch! I've been on a salad kick this week..it's so easy and delicious. My eating last week was not as clean as I like to be so I made a bit more of an effort to stay on track this week. (Until today. Oops. You win some and you lose some.) I know my stomach doesn't do well with a lot of dairy but I am addicted to this yogurt. I need a 10 step program.
On Wednesdays I usually get off around 5-5:30 and say hello to Kyle before heading back out to the gym. If the weather is nice, Kyle often goes to play disc golf. I don't usually get off of work on time on Tuesdays, Thursdays or Fridays to make the time and class that I like at my gym so I rotate rest days, Jillian Michael's workouts, outside cardio and active recovery on those days. I don't like to go to the gym when I get home late because I miss hanging with Kyle and the kitties, dinner is too late, etc. (If you're new around here, I am a worthless early morning exerciser...picture a zombie trying to run on a treadmill)
Yesterday I warmed up on the treadmill before heading to strength training class. It's so much more enjoyable with other people than doing it on your own. Growing up, I never liked sports and was always the one getting called out in gym class for sucking. I didn't care enough about sports to try and I shut down in situations that make me anxious. At least I'm aware right? But it turns out that I am competitive with myself. I am addicted to feeling myself get stronger/faster/ etc. If I can ever figure out how to take an acceptable selfie, I can show you my brand new shiny shoulder and back muscles. They are babies, but I'm pretty proud.
We meet back at the house around 7pm and throw together some dinner. Kyle and I just discovered the beauty of frozen vegetables. They do the trick when we need to put together a fast dinner! I did actually cook salmon last night though.
In the evenings Kyle and I always hang out in the same room even if we are doing different things. My evening activities always include some couch snuggling.
