Okay, so my first full week is done!

Today was nice. I actually slept in until 8am. No alarm. Woke up totally refreshed. Ran through part of my routine. Water. Boil hot water. Coffee in filter. Wash my face. Meditate for 10 minutes. Use the restroom. Drink coffee. Sit ups. Shower. Shave. Worked on a project that I have pending. Then I got a text from a friend. Telling me if I wanted to go to a pool party? I said I had a few errands to run but yeah, I’m down.

So I walk to my car. I parked it kinda far away. Ran to Trader Joe’s. Get my supplies for the week. Lots of arugula (love it!), baby spinach and baby kale. Smoked salmon. Lean, grass fed beef. Tortellini with spinach and cheese. Peaches, plums, nectarines, and blueberries. I still have lots of salmon and chicken breasts, so no need for more of that. Oh yeah, I always get dark chocolate. Love dark chocolate. Dark chocolate with almonds, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm… delicious!. Can’t forget to grab a bottle of wine for the host of our pool party! And lastly, I got some humus and baby carrots to snack on. That’s it. That should get me through the week, probably more.

Drove back to the house and walked back with the groceries. I always park far away so that I get extra steps walking back with grocery bags. It’s like a little extra workout for free.

Back at the house, got ready to go. It’s about 12 noon. She’s coming by to get me at 1:15pm. That gives me time to put on swim trunks, jersey, and pack my clothes and towel. Put on sunscreen. Oh wait. I haven’t eaten anything all day. Ok, ate a peach, half an apple, and a handful of blueberries. Drank a big glass of water so I don’t get dehydrated.

Meditate for ten minutes. Then did 25 push ups and 3 sets of sit ups. Drank a little bit of coffee.

Friend texting me that she’s here. OK, I grab my stuff quick and I’m out the door.

We drive over to our boy’s house. His place is in a downtown high rise with a pool on the roof. Beautiful view…

Had a great time! Talking and vibing with my PD fam. Listened to a great playlist, a mix of old and new music. Ate some chicken and ribs. Jumped in the hot tub and pool. Then sat back, relaxed and chilled. Got a nice tan.

All of us work our tails off for our clients, but it’s important to take time for self-care. I’m glad I came out because tomorrow it’s back to the grind. Feeling rejuvenated and ready to fight for justice for our clients!

And now the hardest part of my routine… time to go to sleep early (it’s 9:45pm), so I can be up at 5am ready to get a great workout in tomorrow, and every single day this week. Starting the week off right!
