Just a Day in the Life

I used to write funny posts about typical days... Going back and reading those posts, make me exhausted! The kids have grown up... but typical days are still hard.

So here goes:

6:00 - wake up and shower, let the dogs out, watch the news, drink coffee, make a shake
6:45 - leave for work
7:30-4:00 - work
4:20-5:15 hit the pool for a cardio workout, or head home for weights
5:30 - do weights (if I already swam); or just chill with the kids --- the kids do weights with me!
6:15 or so - get supper started and eat

7:30 - if cardio swim wasn't done, I try to sneak out for a run around this time; otherwise I play Mom
8:30 - play with the kids
9:00 - put the kids to bed; I usually do Beachbody stuff around this time. Not a power hour, but it is what I got!
10:00 - I go to bed!

Saturdays are even more interesting...

6:00 -  9:45 wake up for a long run or a medium run and swim practice
10:00 shower, recovery shake, legs on the wall
11:00 - Speech therapy
12:00 - Do some crazy Bumgarner fun time stuff... I gotta make up for lost time
4:00 - I often do a short Beachbody workout
5:00 - More Bumgarner fun
11:00 - Everyone passes out with smiles on their faces!


I have a jam packed schedule, but I prove that it can be done and life is still loads of fun! I cannot imagine sitting down... I do rest, but I enjoy living a very fulfilled and exciting life!

It's August

It's August, which means it is time to get back into "regular" gear. Summer is almost over folks! Ava goes back to school on the 29th, so we are savoring the last three weeks!

It's August, but I still need goals. I am back running -only 4 times a week now, but at my old pace. I am so happy to have recovered from a stress fracture. I still have twinges of pain, but I will survive. I don't cry thinking about my foot anymore. I think it's all the ashwagandha, I consume in my Shakeology! My anxiety is way better. Swimming continues to go very well and I was registering for a mile-open water swim, when BAM, the event was cancelled due to very warm water. I was so sad! But, there will be more opportunities... I am also lifting weights and just started the Master's Hammer and Chisel after completing Body Beast.  I dream of being a tri-athlete and I want to run a marathon again next year. Next marathon, I will be mentally and physically stronger, so I'll be a tour-de-force.

It's August, the kids are doing great. Elle and Easton are so much fun at this age. I never imagined living in a house with two four year olds at once, but alas, I'm living the dream! Ha! Ava has had a great summer and has spent lots of quality time with me. So that has made us both happy. Having three kids means a very busy schedule -- but I could not imagine life any other way.

It's August and Terrence is in one of his last quarters in school. I cannot wait for him to finish! He loves school and is doing well. He told me the other day that I "was one of the most awesome people he has ever known." I cried a little. He's such a keeper! I feel the same way about him!


It's August... I cannot believe it!
