morning // Another early morning start for me! I wake up around 5:15, get dressed, take Dutch on a walk, and then walk over to the apartment gym. I do a quick, 30-minute interval workout on the stationary bike while watching an episode of Friday Night Lights. Afterward, I shower and get ready for work. My morning at work flies by! I do some editing for pages I need to send out for client approval by the end of today, and then sit in on a meeting to take notes. Afterward, my brain is a bit fried so I eat some raspberries while catching up on blogs. (Random side note: raspberries? First time I tried them was a few months ago! Now they are one of my favorite fruits!) The rest of my morning is spent editing.
afternoon // I stop for lunch around 12:30 (Santa Fe Chicken!) and read through the Serial Reddit forum while eating. (I’m obsessed, but have to temper myself with reading because I could probably spend hours on there!) The afternoon flies by faster than my morning! Lots and lots and lots of editing because I have tons of deadlines today. At two, I take a break from the editing to meet with one of our account managers to discuss a keyword plan that needs to be done soon. Around three, I take a break to eat some chocolates and drink some hot chocolate (that I sweetened with a pump of pumpkin spice creamer – guys, it’s life-changing.) The rest of my day is spent furiously editing to meet my deadlines. But I do and then it’s 5:30 and I’m headed home!
night // I take a quick pit stop at Publix before going home to pick up a few supplies (more raspberries – they’re on sale!, peanut butter cookie dough, and Hershey kisses). Then, I get home (and find a fun present on my doorstep!), take Dutch on a walk, and make dinner (spaghetti night!) I watch last night’s episode of The Voice while eating dinner and start writing this post. Then, I have to make cookies! We’re having our Thanksgiving potluck at work tomorrow and I signed up for peanut butter blossoms. I make cookies, activate and play with my new fitness tracker (and yes, you may notice it’s a Weight Watchers product – I rejoined last week!), and watch The Voice results show. Then, I clean up, do my nightly routine, and it’s lights out by 11:00.
I was asleep by 8:30 last night.
I am on the hunt for a fitness tracker! I will probably wait until Cyber Monday and snag a deal online, but I think I may want to go with the Garmin one since all of my runs are logged there already. I need to do a bit more research though. Random, but I really love your hair dark. It suits your complexion so well! I am loving these posts!
Nice job on the workout and the new fitness tracker!
The peanut butter cookies look delicious. Fun that you have a potluck at work this week. =)
How did you live your life without eating raspberries until recently!?? They are seriously the best fruit out there. Actually, it’s funny, Isla loves them so I buy them all the time, but I never eat them because they’re “hers.”
I can’t believe you didn’t eat raspberries until recently! Those are my favorite but I don’t eat them often as they are so dang expensive up here since the growing season is so short. My grandparents had a raspberry bush when I was a kid so we used to pick pails full – I’d eat them until my stomach hurt! I miss those days (except the stomach aches, ha).
Good luck with WW! I had great success with that program!
I’m so impressed you wake up at 5am! I’ve been setting my alarm for 6am lately and it’s not happening. I blame the cold weather. I just want to be warm under my covers instead of running in the cold! 😛
How did you just try raspberries for the first time recently???? I LOVE raspberries! They are definitely my very favourite berry. I like to have them in my oatmeal 🙂
