A Day in the life of........

I feel like I've been very busy, but truth is, it's all the same. Here's the run down of my day. (Hey, give me a break, Got to update my blog, and can't think of anything else to blog about. LOL)

A NORMAL day (Times are approximate, but VERY close to actual)

7:30 am- Alarm goes off.

7:31- Text Lois (or she texts me) to make sure we're getting up.

7:32-7:35- Sit up in bed and consider killing Lois for making me get up this early.

7:36- Make it out of bed, stumble into the kitchen and pour myself a bowl of Special K (YUMMY.)

7:40 Brush teeth, brush hair, put on workout clothes.

7:55 Text Lois to let her know I'm on the way.

8:15(ish)- arrive at the gym. Lois is always there waiting on me.

8:16- Mosey into the Gym, swipe our cards, and walk down the Looooooooong hallway (Always feel like a prisoner walking down the long hallway to get my lethal injection).

8:17-8:20 hang keys on the key rack, and just stand staring at the equipment wondering where to start.

8:21 Lois decides what to do, and I follow. (9 times out of 10 weight presses)Act really dumb, make fun of each other, and make people wonder what we were drinking or what drugs we were taking before coming in. (Surprising how slap happy you get that early in the morning.)

9:30 Drag ourselves back down that looooooooong hallway to the juice bar.

9:31 I order a Banana Bonita smoothie (Pineapple juice with coconut, Bananas, and a cup of protein.)

9:31.5 Get teased by Lois for ordering the same thing EVERY DAY.
9:34 Lois FINALLY decides on what she wants either an "Invisible Man" (Banana and Strawberry smoothie) or "Through the Lips off the Hips" (Peanut butter and chocolate smoothie)

9:36 head out to our vehicles.

9:37 decide what time to text each other. (usually 1)

2:41 Stop at our separation point and throw in some last min comments.

2:42 Yell, we'll chat as we walk in opposite directions.

Well you certainly don't have time to get bored. I'm amazed that as a second shifter, you can actually, physically get yourself out of bed that early to EXERCISE! Hats off to you.

How very sweet to have pictures of the boys on your toolbox. Maybe I should get new pictures of them done so the ones you have aren't 2 years old!!!! :o

Hey Carrie,
All you have to do is email them. I use my computer and some magnetic "paper" and print them out. Since I print them on magnets they stick. ;)
