Lioness in Motion

Today was a good day!

I got up early and made it to the gym! I had plans to get my cardio in too, but work had other ideas. A work emergency popped up, so I had to log in much earlier than expected and spend the morning putting out fires.

Thankfully, everything got handled, and I was able to leave the office around 4:30 and finish the rest of my day from home.

One thing that had me stressed all day was Koby. I left him out of his cage and I was convinced I was going to come home to complete chaos. Instead, he was an angel!!!! No mess, no destruction, just a very good boy. I was so proud of him!

Tonight, I got to have dinner with my favorite Gemini. Since I won't be around to celebrate her birthday, I wanted to treat her and celebrate a little early. It was nice to catch up and spend some quality time together.

I'm so ready for bed. It was a long day, and tomorrow is going to be another busy one!

Today kicked my ass.

I only got about 3.5 hours of sleep last night because I had to be up so early, and I could feel it all day!!! Everything felt harder than it needed to. My mood was off and my energy was super low.

I didn't make it to get my labs done, so now that's getting pushed to tomorrow 😓

Work was nonstop, didn't even get a lunch break. Then I ended up missing my tactical training class too, which was frustrating because it was something I was actually looking forward to.

By the time the day was over, I just felt defeated...

The one good thing was that since I missed class, I was able to get a pedicure.

I came home, turned on the TV, and called it a night. No big accomplishments today... Just one of those days where you're tired, everything feels a little off, and you're ready for it to be over.

Tomorrow is another chance to get it right!

On my mind: Give people the same energy they give you!

Today started with a little disappointment. I had plans to wake up early, go to the gym at 5:30, get some lab work done, and pick up groceries before work. Unfortunately, I knocked out last night and forgot to set an alarm, so none of that happened... 🥹

I was frustrated because I already had plans after work and felt like there was no way I'd be able to fit in any movement today.

I ended up picking up groceries during my lunch break, and managed to get over 5 miles of walking in (two different sessions) on my walking pad while I worked. Not exactly the workout I had planned, but definitely better than nothing.

After work, I met up with an old friend from Houston and we went to Topgolf. We had an absolute blast catching up. There's something special about reconnecting with people you've known for a long time. Fifteen years of friendship means countless memories, and it's amazing how quickly the memories come back through conversations.

Today didn't go according to plan, but it still turned out to be a pretty good day! I'm exhausted and worried about getting less than 4 hours of sleep in 😭

Mondays always seem to hit me a little harder mentally. Even though I slept in today, my energy was low at work, but I made it through the day!!!

One thing I'm really excited about is that I scheduled my tactical training classes for this month. Having something to look forward to always gives me a boost on Mondays!

After work, I went for a walk with a friend and spent some time catching up since we hadn't seen each other in a while 💕

Ended the day with a hot shower, which somehow always makes everything feel a little better.

Now it's time to get some rest, 5:30 a.m. comes quick...

[lionessinmotion]

I finally got to sleep in today, and it was glorious!!! No alarm, no plans, no rushing around, just waking up whenever my body was ready.

I had gun training at 1:30PM then met up with family to watch the Michael Jackson movie. Afterward, we went to Saltgrass for dinner 😋

When I got home, I did a closing shift a to start the week off on the right foot. Resetting my space before Monday always helps me feel more organized and makes the week ahead feel a little less hectic.

Overall, it was an easy Sunday ❤️

A solid Saturday. Started the day with a workout, then got to spend some time with my niece. We grabbed brunch together and, of course, had to get matcha afterwards! 🍵

Had to get a quick nap in before heading to the movies. I watched OBSESSION, and honestly... I was pretty disappointed 😭

People hyped it up so much that I went in with high expectations, but I ended up finding it so cringe!

Today's color: Soft pink 🎀

Made it to the gym bright and early this morning and got my cardio in before work. It felt good to get back into my routine after feeling under the weather for a couple of days!

Work dragged a little today, but overall it wasn't too bad.

Highlight of the day: An impromptu reunion with my Fantastic 4 💕

Before bed, I spent some time cleaning up my apartment and getting things back in order. I'm hoping a little effort today means more time to relax and enjoy the weekend ahead!

Still dealing with this cold/cough, but I was able to get my workout in today, which felt good. Haven’t worked out at night in a while, I kind of missed it.

Planning to try and get back to my 5:30am class tomorrow, then squeeze in some cardio before work.

Today's challenge: fighting temptation 😮‍💨

[lionessinmotion]

Easy day today. I took a break from the gym to recover from whatever this is… cold, allergies, who knows at this point…

My replacement phone finally came in! I couldn’t switch the line over the phone, so I had to stop by the store after work. Thankfully it was pretty painless.

My night was great! Treated myself to CFA, watched the Perfect Match season finale, and tried on my new clothes.

Overall, a calm and productive day! Hoping I wake up feeling better tomorrow so I don’t have to miss another gym day.

On my mind: considering changing my phone number... 🤔💭

A win is a win...

I struggled BAD at the gym this morning and could feel a cold coming on throughout the day so my energy was definitely low...

Work went by fast though, and I was able to get a temporary phone and finally got some packages I’ve been waiting on, which made me happy.

The best part of my day was changing my license plate covers myself. It may seem small, but it meant a lot to me. Using my own tools and figuring it out myself made me feel proud. Now let’s just hope they don’t fall off anytime soon 😂

Not every productive day looks the same, but today still felt like progress.

Today’s focus: watering relationships & getting through the day 🤍

[lionessinmotion]

Productive day! I handled everything I needed to, stayed active, and gave myself room to breathe in between. Nothing overly exciting, just one of those steady days that reminds me growth can look quiet too🤍
