A Day In The Life

I’m joining in with the “Day In The Life” link-up that was the brilliant brain-child of Angela (Happy Fit Mama) and Jill (Fitness, Health, Happiness). I hope you are well-caffenieted because my typical day is pretty darn boring and yesterday was no exception!

My day started when the alarm on my iPhone went off at 5:00,
and I got up to take this girlie out for our morning walk.

A Day In The LifeI guess she couldn’t find a stray shoe,
so she grabbed her rope bone while I fill my water bottle.

When we got back, I fed her breakfast and headed down to the basement for my workout.

A Day In The LifeIt was about 5:45, leaving me 45 minutes for my full-body free weights routine.

At 6:30, I went upstairs, started the coffee maker, and got ready for work.

By 7:00 I was back in the kitchen, fixing breakfast and assembling my lunch.

As usual, I had about 20 minutes to check in with Facebook, Twitter, and
a few of my favorite blogs while I ate my breakfast and sucked down two cups of coffee.

I got to work shortly after 8:00, and the rest of my day looked pretty much like this.

I did take a break for my mid-morning snack, when I switched to this view.

Even though I brought my lunch, I ended up eating in our cafeteria with a colleague.
I didn’t take a picture, but it looked a lot like this.

I left work at 5:30, which is a little earlier than usual, but I was at a good stopping point.

When I got home, my husband told me that he wanted to eat leftover pizza for dinner,
so I cobbled together my own meal.

I was saving room for the cupcake he brought home for me.

By 7:30, I had settled in for an evening of blogging, television, and reading
before going to bed at 11:00.

So, there you have it!

You can see how sedentary the bulk of my day really is. I know my morning exercise doesn’t make up for sitting all day, so I am trying to take more breaks at work, but some days the endless streams of emails and phone calls keep me glued to my desk.

Do you stay active throughout the day? 

What is your favorite part of your day?

    How the heck do you stay up until 11 and get up at 5? I’m almost comatose at 9:30.

    My favorite part of my day is often my quiet 15 minutes with my coffee and some computer time. Maybe not ‘favorite’, but definitely most peaceful.

  4. You are one busy lady & reminds me of my Corporate days when I worked 60+ hours a week & got the workout in too – don’t want to go back there but I need to make money before I am on the street! 😉 What do you do?

    LOVE the doggie!!!!!

    comment luv would not work for me so.. 🙂

    Love you mid-morning break view!!!
    And our evenings (after dinner) are very similar – although lately those evenings of TV and blogging are being interrupted with extra activities a lot more.
    Fun post – love seeing the behind the scenes!!

  6. Busy day! I’m impressed that you can hang till 11 and be up by 5!

    What a great view you have from your office! Looks like we start the day at the same time and with the same task–dog duty!

    I’m sure it’s hard to fit in extra movement when you are in a traditional office. Working from home makes it much easier for me b/c I can take breaks whenever I want, plus I have a treadmill desk.

  8. I totally get the sedentary work day. I walk during my lunches most days.

  9. What a cute doggie you have! Thanks for linking up. I love seeing how everyone spends their day. It may seem boring to you but I think we all lead similar lives.

  10. Early morning coffee, computer and a run! That’s my favorite part of the day 🙂 Also early evenings on the nights all 4 of us are together.

    I’m not as active as I would like at work. Way too much meeting and computer time!

    Thanks for joining 🙂

    your boxer is adorable, and great view on your break!

  12. Glamping is centered on camping in glamour,
    style and splendor. None individuals wants to go to expensive
    hotels tired from my trip only to find out out we’re accidentally booked to a scaled-down room.
    If you will want combination of modern comforts and conveniences, discount hotels in Australia offer the identical which too at reasonable rates.

    Before spending time and energy on undertaking expensive hotels mystery shopping programme your first
    port of call ought to always be to try a wide open, honest and low
    pressure group of consultations with staff, alongside forms that
    ask those guests who would like to provide feedback to complete
    so. With globalization becoming popular in most from the countries from the
    world, this sub-field is turning to be a universal industry.
    The Zuri Kumarakom, Kerala is also counted among the Luxury 5 Star Hotel in India.
