[my week in workouts | week three]

So, saying this past week has been a hiatus from my intense workouts is an understatement. Everything was going fine until Wednesday, when we drove 13 hours from Miami to Knoxville. That didn't exactly leave much time to work out. I got some exercise in on Thursday, but Friday we touristed around all day so I didn't get a chance to work out then either. And then when Sunday came around, it was quite the Sunday, so I was just lounging around.

I WILL make this week a more productive one, even though it's Thanksgiving!

Have a good week all!

I'm writing from an airport terminal right now, because i'm on my way to Knoxville!!! I am taking a birthday trip before heading to a friend's wedding in Memphis this weekend. Today is my birthday after all! What with the odd weather and unforeseen plans, here's how my crazy OCD self packed for this 10 day trip.

First, I made a schedule of the days and what type of outfits I would need based on that day's plans.

Then, I counted how many casual outfits I needed and planned those out. Remember, I'm traveling to colder weather, so I can't just bring my regular Miami clothes!

After that I just made notes to add undergarments, jewelry, and workout clothes. There was an itemized list too, but that one was really messy, so I'm not posting it here. But I basically took the items from my detailed outfits list and used that to make sure I had every single item packed. It's a little crazy and VERY thorough, but if I don't make lists I feel flustered and always end up forgetting something. It works for me!

Under normal circumstances, I would be posting a normal blog post to start the week. However, since  I decided to high-tail it to Orlando right after work, I'm a bit unprepared. I can't load photos onto my Ipad or even post anything too lengthy on here. So instead I'll leave you with this: today will be a major (I mean four hour long) brainstorming session. So here's to the future!!!
