I LOVED The Help. I hope you do as well. I do a whole bunch of snoozing myself! I work out, too; but girl, you take it way more seriously!! I wish I had that dedication! Maybe that's why I don't fit in many of my pants anymore! Good inspiration for me to be more dedicated knowing that someone, somewhere does committed daily, long, workouts!
Haha I do the same thing, I have a billion alarms going in the morning just to make sure I actually do wake up
That's awesome. You are so productive! You look
Good! Have you lost weight? My typical day is wake up around 11 then watch TV most of the day! Haha! During the day I blog or Pinterest or look at other people's blogs. I have 3 meals plus crap. Go to bed around Midnight! Don't I sound productive? Okay so
Today I went sightseeing around NY. I'm pregnant so
I guess it's okay to lazy for the next 6 weeks.
Ohh how I love that you wrote this. Because your typical day is spot on the same as mine -the abridged version: work, work #2, workout, eat lounge read. I feel more normal about all the time I don't spend with my boy, even though we live together :)
wow, you are motivated! my mornings start much like yours, but i admit that my days are much more random than yours, comes from teaching yoga for a living :)
oh I loved this!

I remember buying the loudest alarm clock we could find and then putting it across the room so you had to get out of bed to turn it off. Instead of that working to get you up for drill I could hear the alarm ringing upstairs and across the house and you would still be snoozin in bed. Getting up has never been easy for you. Haha You have always been a good hard worker, however, and you still are!
Was inspired by your post so I did my own and linked back to yours! Thanks!
