Feeling so fly like a G6.

I have had that song in my head ever since I got on the plane today. I'm so glad that I know that a G6 is a plane now. Today has been somewhat whirlwind-ish.

Wake up: 5:00 AM
First client: 5:45 AM (Side note: It takes me about 15-20 mins to get to work depending on the time of day. I take 5-10 mins to prep my oatmeal. You do the math on how much time I actually spend getting ready for work.) Good thing I get to work at a gym where people welcome you with open arms in gangster sweat pants and a hoodie, which I frequently wear due to the frigid UT temps. Warmth before beauty peeps.
11:30 AM: Leave Elevate
11:50 AM: Finish packing. Eat a Tuna Wrap and steamed veggies. Get dressed into normal people clothes.
12:00 PM: Dad comes to pick me up to leave for the Airport. We listen to the reports of Coach Jerry Sloan resigning as the head coach of the UT Jazz after 23 years. Kinda sad.  
1:00 PM: Arrive at the airport, park, & shuttle.
1:10 PM: Get in line at security.
1:20 PM: Continue to wait in line at security.
1:30 PM: Sa-kurity! SA Kurity... (If you have no idea what that means watch Bon Qui Qui on Youtube.)
1:35 PM: FINALLY make it through security and learn quickly why my dad was a star athlete in high school...aka try to keep up with him as we sprint to our gate. Had to get those heart rates up, because this is my only form of exercise for the day. We'll call it interval work.
1:45 PM: Reach our gate, and walk directly on to the plane.
1:50 PM: Plane departure.
1:51 PM: Megan is asleep.
2:51 PM: Wake up briefly to find a diet coke and some honey roasted peanuts awaiting me. Quick snack break.
2:53 PM: Megan is asleep again. I guess I am one of those people that goes on not much sleep for a while and then apparently crashes when I get to sit down?
3:30 PM: Plane lands in BEAUTIFUL, sunny, warm Arizona. I instantly feel better. I can't tell you what a little blue sky and some rays of sun do for my soul.
4:30 PM: Arrive at my sister Nichole's to chat it up and see the kiddies.
5:15 PM: Arrive at my parents house to find this waiting for me...

 

I tell you, my mom is darling. She is so great at doing fun little things that make you feel so special. She decorated my dad's mirror as well. I just love her. 

  

6:30 PM: I also love her when she cooks me dinner. Tonight she whipped up one of our favorite recipes, chicken scampi with whole wheat pasta.

 

It is healthy, hearty, and has so much flavor. I love it. She paired it with a delicious greek salad, and some fresh berries. 

 My dad had a surprise for my mom as well. It was time to get her some new plates for her car, and he decided he should personalize them. My mom goes about 100 miles an hour. I've mentioned that she works out like a maniac is so involved with friends/neighbors/family, she is over two quilting groups, she is an awesome cook. She is the best mom and grammy, and she is always so positive and happy. It is because of that we call her, "Hurricane Elaine." She tears it up wherever she goes.

 9:20 PM: We ate. I watched the season finale of Friday Night Lights...which if you haven't watched that show jump on board already. It's amazing. I typed up some programs/notes for the trainers who are covering my clients these next couple days, and now I'm ready for bed. I'm so exhausted. I am going to go ahead and soak up this break for all it's worth. I feel like I've worked out all day today, and I didn't for one second. I'm trying to tell myself mentally that this is ok, and I will make up for it with a sweet workout tomorrow. Sometimes our bodies need breaks!!


What is your favorite TV Show? Although I don't always get to watch them, I believe very strongly in Modern Family, The Biggest Loser, The Bachelor, and Friday Night Lights. Modern Family = Laughter. TBL = motivation/inspiration. The Bachelor = guilty pleasure. FNL = pure genious. Do you feel guilty when you miss a workout day? I always take Sundays off and I feel really good about that rest day. Sometimes if I miss a midweek workout I kick myself a little.
