JD: Wake 4.45am first thing coffee and cardio depending on where I am at in contest season . Wake kids at 6am make them breakfast , walk my dog ( chinese crested ) and off to bus stop with oldest and run youngest to pre school eating my breakfast in the car . My boys are 5 yrs and 10 yrs I am a single mom it’s always a go go go my car is always full of Tupperware and empty water bottles.
I work at a local gym right by the beach and have a great group of clients all ages all types of goals . Eating is done on the go and training is done when ever i get a break from clients . I do train 6 days a week I make sure I take time to get it done no matter what plus workout partner always waiting . After work , kids get home we spend time doing home work and then off to their sports activities . I encourage them to strive for great strength and speed in all of their activities ( encouraged gymnastics so they would develop core and upper body strength early )
We eat together every night and boys love my healthy food. When they are in bed I get time to relax n chill and catch up on facebook , instagram and emails .Pack and prepare food for following day so we can all grab’n go in the morning. I like to watch TV in bed it puts me to sleep:)
