Day in the life....1/17/2012

I don't remember my life all that well and I have decided that once a month I am going to write a "day in the life"so that I can look back and see what I did that day...

Today January 17, 2011

I woke up at 5:21 eager to get out of bed. Husby's alarm goes off at 4:30, which primes the pump for my alarm sometimes to my chagrin.

I immediately started the bacon... and then went and dressed for the gym. I like to eat a good breakfast in the morning and get up about 20 minutes early to make sure I can have one. I gave up gluten about three weeks ago and since I have limited my available menu I take more time on prepping my food. After getting dressed I picked out my clothes for the day... jeans, brown pointy heals, brown ribbed tank top with a mustard over shirt, and my brown jacket. I placed all of these items in my gym bag and headed into the kitchen.

I put all my lunch items (sliced yellow bell pepper, hummus, potato chips, melody of a pear and strawberries, and chicken/rice/veggie/ cheese leftovers from last night) in my lunch bag. I started the eggs and flipped the bacon. During this time I watched a little "Parenthood" (I love this show and will usually watch a little bit whenever I have the chance). Bacon, eggs and applesauce make up my breakfast. It was good!!

Headed to the gym. I love and hate the gym. I feel so good about myself after I go, but while I am there I am not so happy. Today I worked out biceps, abs, and the back of my legs. After my weight lifting I did about 20 minutes of cardio (which I only do because it is 20 minutes of reading time). Showered and got dressed at the gym and headed to work.

I am 7th/8th grade science teacher, which is a crazy as it sounds. Who wants to spend their entire life in middle school...I guess that would be me. So work is barely-controlled chaos, but the kids are good.
Work ended at 3:30 and I was supposed to have a meeting with my fellow science teachers, but that was canceled. Yahhh for me...I hate those meetings.

Drove up the driveway, followed by husby. We both went into the garage to work on our projects. He is building the braces to hang closet rods and I am restoring a picture frame (idea: courtesy of B).

Plan on a little cobb salad for dinner and then maybe an episode of "Shameless." A bit of reading before bed and there is my tuesday!
