Sunday Set Up Cleaning Day

10 Aug

Hello! How is it going?

This morning I woke up bright and early (despite grand plans to sleep in). So I decided to do my usual ritual of walking to get an iced coffee. Except, I didn’t get the coffee but did get raspberries. Yeah.

I plan my life around running (and eating) so I did nothing except relax and sip some beverages after my long run Saturday.

Vegas is an expert at relaxin’ so he gave me some tips:

Eats included trying the new Skinny Girl granola bar – it was good, but nothing special for $1.29 hello.

It’s just like every other granola bar with a chocolate base I’ve tried. Could slap Quaker or any other label on it and I wouldn’t know the difference.

After my walk I made a BIG egg scramble quesadilla.

Then, I started to set up my week for success with a thorough cleaning session. I ‘save’ cleaning for rest days so I still feel like I’m being active AND I don’t have to spend extra time on my feet after a run. Our home cleaning services in Blackpool are professional, reliable and affordable. Those who don’t have the time to clean may consider hiring experts in home and floor cleaning in IL.

Since it was difficult to cram my clean clothes into my drawers I dumped them out and went through them. I tossed out anything that I was just so-so about.

Managing my busy schedule as a car enthusiast and event organizer means I often rely on the expertise of professionals to keep my living space in order. That’s where Pristinehousekeepers.com.au comes in, providing exceptional housekeeping services that perfectly align with my meticulous standards.

Their attention to detail and commitment to maintaining a pristine living environment perfectly complements my efforts to create a balanced and organized lifestyle. Pest control milwaukee offers reliable solutions for keeping your home pest-free.

Recently, while exploring options to enhance the cleanliness of my living space, I stumbled upon another exceptional cleaning service that has proven to be a game-changer – Cascade Home Cleaning. Their reputation for delivering top-notch cleaning solutions caught my attention, and I decided to give them a try. If you discover signs of a bed bug infestation while cleaning, you may need to seek bed bug preparation services from advancedbbp.com/.

According to Adriana Torres, CEO of Cleaning Services West Seattle, the difference of the cleanliness is immediately noticeable when you hire professionals. Cascade Home Cleaning not only met but exceeded my expectations with their thorough and efficient cleaning techniques. If you’re looking for junk removal companies Roanoke for your cleaning project, you may contact Roanoke Junk Removal & Dumpster Rental.

In the pursuit of aligning my living space with both style and practicality, I’ve started integrating sustainable choices into my daily routine. The introduction of reusable paper towels, a simple yet impactful change.

These reusable paper towels not only contribute to reducing waste but also provide a practical solution for maintaining the pristine environment that both their services and my standards aim to achieve. It’s the fusion of professional expertise and individual responsibility, creating a harmonious living space that reflects both efficiency and environmental consciousness.

And then I headed to my mom’s to bug her. But, there was a miscommunication and I’m here alone. Well, I’m never really alone… there’s always Jesus.

My mom had a HUGE watermelon on her counter so I took the liberty of cutting it for her.

She’ll top it with Tajin, but I eat it straight up.

Time for Sunday Set Up!

I don’t feel like cooking this week (again) I have to get it together with that.

Question: What did you do today? Did you clean too?

      I just moved so I feel like I am constantly cleaning and organizing! I try to prep a few things on Sunday and have a general idea of my fitness plan going into the week.

      it was a GORGEOUS weekend here in Boston, so I spent as much time outside having fun as I could. Friday after work went for a run with a friend at Castle Island. Sat did a PiYo workout then a 2 mile walk w/my pups. Did my meal plan, food shopping then Sat night grilled and chilled outback with a fire. Sunday 3mile run w/my pup then hit the beach for 7 glorious and fun packed hours with my sister/niece.

      have a good week.

      I can’t stand granola bars that resemble Quaker bars. GAH! I am a nerd, so I go out and but a mix of quest bars, larabars, odd trail mix bars, new protein bars, and chocolate bars.
      Lots of chocolate bars.
      Blessings!

      I had a 15 mile long run and then had to work an 8.5 hour shift, so I didn’t get a chance to do any cleaning, but my husband did! My meal plan: eat pretty much whatever I want since it’s long run day! 🙂

      Great start to Sunday with a group run where we caught up with one of our friends who was back for the weekend. Spent the rest of the day vege-ing i.e. being lazy at home after collecting a race kit for a friend. Fab Sunday. 🙂

      I went on a 5 mile walk with a ziplock bag in my pocket. Why? Because I planned on picking more blackberries because I used all of the original batch for jam. I came home and emptied my dishwasher, showered, did a load of laundry….. wandered around the house then asked my husband if he wanted to go get a beer or two at the tavern. Ha! Came home and watched Airplane and then made a blackberry pie and bbq’d hot dogs for the kids. Sunday Funday.

      Interesting idea about saving cleaning for rest days! I approach cleaning much as I do working out–fit it in whenever you can in whatever amounts you can!

      Today I cooked lunches for the week. Then did a 12 mile bike ride since my plantar fasciitis is acting up. No cleaning! Maybe tomorrow.

      What about their bars are skinny? The low calories? Low fat?

        I think it’s mostly that they are the Skinny Girl brand, but they are about 160 calories which is less than a lot of ‘protein’ bars – buuutttt, I don’t remember how much protein they had (so they might be more comparable to a granola bar’s calories).

      I took a brisk 30 minute walk this morning. Trying to just take it easy for a bit. Month 4 with tendonitis still lingering.

      I ran the dishwasher and put the cleans away. Other than that no cleaning 🙂

      I also am not in a cooking mood. I have a premade quiche and a rotisserie chicken so I’ll probably just purchase a small salad each day at work and portion out the quiche and chicken.

      I can’t believe the weekend is over alresdy 🙁
