I thought it’d be fun to start a series called Day in the Life, where I randomly share a day with y’all.  The good, the bad, and the ugly.  I did this once back in September but would like to do it more regularly as a way to show you how my days go.  It will not be on a set day, as I want to show you different days and how I have to adjust things based on whether I’m at work, playing sports, hanging out with friends, or relaxing at home on the weekend.

5:45AM – Alarm goes off

6:00AM – Started the day with a glass of lemon water.  Yesterday morning I woke up feeling extremely bloated.  I ate very healthy this past weekend, but I still have my holiday eats hanging over my head and on my hips.

6:15AM – 45 minute weight lifting session at the gym with Neal.  I stuck to the machines, going around the room doing 3 sets of 8 on each machine.

Starbucks Coffee Break

2:30PM – I started feeling really nauseous, hence only having half of my coffee.  I headed down to the store to grab some pretzels and a sprite zero to calm my tummy.  It did the job! (5PP)

11:00PM – Headed to bed.  Not as early as I had hoped, but it is what it is.

All in all is was a good day.  I woke up this morning feeling really emotional about my weight loss (more on that later this week) so I’m hoping this will turn around today.
