So, this is my first year not traveling with Alec during season. Although I am in school, I usually am able to do my summer classes online making it easy to travel and spend my days making my own schedule. With that being said, this year I just have had way too much going on and am not able to travel.
I don’t know if this is bad to say but with Alec gone, I am SO productive. Obviously when he is here I want to spend my time with him, so when he is not here I have time for other things such as working out on my own time and Netflix… my guilty pleasure.
Although I have more time for whatever I want to do now, I still have a puppy to think about. She stays in the crate when I go to work and even though I have someone come walk her in the afternoon, I still feel bad for leaving her all day and want to spend time with her when I get home.
So I have basically come up with this routine where I can maximize the usefulness of the hours in my day. If that makes sense?
So here is what my day looks like:
4:20am- Wake up
5:00am- Workout at Burn Bootcamp
7:00am- Leave for work
4:30pm- Leave work
5:00pm…- School, see friends, spend time with the puppy.. whatever I want!
As you can see, my day starts so early. With that being said, because I workout so early, I have time after work to get whatever I need done. This has been working out for me really well because I can fit everything in.
As I have mentioned in previous blog posts, I really enjoy fitness. Do I like feeling good about my body? Yes. But that is not why I do it. Working out for me is therapeutic. I really enjoy this group bootcamp class that I have been going to because even though it is so early, everyone is so happy to be there and we all motivate each other. I also really enjoy working out before work because it gives me a sense of accomplishment before most people even wake up.
I also already have everything ready for work the night before. I meal prep which makes it so easy for lunch and for dinner to stay on track with my health (not ruin my workout too much) and save some money as well.
By the time Alec gets out of his game at night (around 11pm), I am usually asleep. We don’t get to talk much because when he wakes up I am already at work, meaning I can only briefly talk to him. So I make sure to keep my phone on loud and even though I am so out of it when I answer (because I was sleeping) it is always nice to be able to say goodnight to him and briefly talk about our days.
Other than the bummer part of not being able to talk to Alec a lot, my day goes pretty smoothly and I’ve enjoyed my new schedule! Even with a busy life, it is so important to find time for things that are important to you and make you happy!
