California Living

Los Angeles, I could definitely get used to you.

So far so good here in LA. I can drive to the complex that has my gym, Starbucks and Trader Joe’s alone without getting lost… And let’s by honest, what else do I really need besides the gym, coffee and groceries :). Today I finally drove more than a mile away and didn’t kill anyone or cry– success.

My California life so far revolves around eating good food and sweating. My friend and I are going to San Diego for the next few days which I’m super excited to visit for the first time.

As excited as I am to explore San Diego, I’m definitely looking forward to starting a routine once I’m back in Los Angeles. I’m looking forward to unpacking my ginormous suitcase, settling down, grocery shopping, cooking my own food, and following an actual schedule. It’s nice being in a carefree mindset with no real obligations, but that lifestyle definitely doesn’t fit me. I’m ready to work my butt off for the class I’m taking starting next weekend, and to possibly start studying for my NASM Personal Training certification.

Anyone else get a bit anxious when their life lacks schedule and routine?

It’s funny, in college I was the most productive when my schedule was jam packed with school and rehearsals. It meant I had to efficiently use the bits of free time I had.

Day 21 Are you a coffee drinker?

oh yes. I have a lovely caffeine “addiction” aka I get headaches if I go too long without caffeine. It is very well known among my friends and family that I absolutely must go to Starbucks every single day, however I don’t always order coffee.

Day 22 What would you put in your fitness survival kit?

Here’s what I have in my gym bag

– deodorant
– body spray
– tiger balm
– lots of hair ties
– sneakers
– flippy floppies for showers
– print outs of favorite workouts
– 100 calorie almonds
– luna bars.

The essentials for me are deodorant (just say no to BO), sneakers, and hair ties.

Enjoy the first weekend of fall! It’s a bit hard to think about seasons when I’m surrounded by palm trees.
