I just joined another fitness blogging network that posts topics every other week that participants can write about. This week’s challenge:

“Describe a typical day in the life of YOU.”

Honestly, my life is probably rather boring to most, but at the same time – never dull. What’s interesting about staying at home with 2 to 4 kids all day, writing and blogging and exercising…is that each day tends to be different. I have learned that I cannot simply wait for my exercise time to present itself – I have to make time for it or it’ll never happen. What’s nice is that I have everything I need in my basement which also happens to be the kids’ play area so it works out pretty well (most of the time..).

These days, things are a bit more complicated and unorganized because our rental home is up for sale so we’re having to deal with showings and meetings with our realtor. Can’t wait until we find a home and are able to settle down a bit!

In the meantime, here’s what a typical day looks like:

• 7:30 – 8:00 – Wake up, eat, check e-mail

• 8:00 – 8:30 – Clean up the kitchen

• 8:30 – 10:00 – Write/Blog/Research/Play with kids

• 10:oo – 11:00 – Cardio (accompanied by children and doggies)

• 11:00 – 12:00 – Lunch, feed kids

• 12:00 – 1:30 – Read/nap with kids

• 1:30 – 2:00 – Eat

• 2:00 – 3:00 – Write/Blog/Research/Check email

• 3:00 – 4:00 – Eat, get kids snacks

• 4:00 – 5:30 – Strength training; eat (again, accompanied by children and doggies)

• 5:30 – 7:00 – Kids’ sports

• 7:00 – 7:30 – Eat

• 7:30 – 9:00 – Relax, get kids in bed, go to sleep
