In chronological order:
- Father’s Day
- Blog travel (I’ll share more on this when I can!)
- Michaela’s bachelorette party in Chicago
- My sister’s 24th birthday
- FitBloggin’ in Portland
Lots of travel at the end of the month! I can’t wait to see some of my best girlfriends and blog buddies!
A few things that aren’t officially on my calendar that I would really like to do this month include:
- A day at a water park
- BBQ with our small group
- Trip to the dog beach
Clearly I am in the summer mindset!
Today
My day began at 4:20 a.m. with the obnoxious buzz of my alarm. I worked the early shift at the gym and also trained a new client which went really well. I’ll be training her again on Wednesday and Friday this week and am already looking forward to it!
Once my shift at the gym was over, I ate the lunch I packed and sent emails to some of my clients and worked on a few training plans for a while.
Tuna salad + Strawberries + Tomatoes + Kimmy wasabi seaweed
Then it was time for my workout! I changed clothes and hopped on the treadmill for a quick 20-minute workout.
After 20 minutes of cardio, I completed a TRX workout that incorporated lots of upper body exercises. It was tough and a nice change of pace.
Once I was done with my workout, I drove home and immediately made myself a smoothie. Since my lunch was on the lighter side, I was ready for more food right when I walked through the door.
In my smoothie:
- Frozen strawberries
- Chocolate protein powder
- Cocoa powder
- Almond milk
- Fresh spinach
Perfect post-workout snack!
I am planning to spend the rest of the day on the computer, catching up on emails and blog-related business. Later!
Question of the Afternoon
- What is one thing you’re looking forward to this month?
![\"Quantcast\"/](\"//pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-1e3-7hOJ_U8Bg.gif\")
I’m looking forward to finding a new apartment/house! It makes me feel really old, but I’m actually very excited to find a place, move and start turning it into our little home!
You do have some fun travel on the agenda!
I am so excited–next week is our family trip to a big lake–my parents have a houseboat, so to the lake we go! I love being among the mountains & in the lake (northern AZ/southern UT) and with my fam.
Mmmmm smoothie sounds good!
that sounds like a blast! have fun, annette!
I could not be more excited for this month. My birthday is this week, vegas in two weeks, and my first half marathon at the very end of the month.
Also looking forward to FitBloggin’!
Woohoo!!
Ah! Almost forgot about Father’s Day coming up! Thank goodness you reminded me there. That is SUCH an early start- props to you Julie! I have been getting up at 12:30, haha, but that’s due to jetlag!
Heading to Boston this coming weekend for a wedding. Get to see all of my old Boston friends! YAY!!
my best friend’s wedding! 2 weeks away!
I saw your post this morning about your Dad’s birthday present. That was such an awesome idea. Can’t wait to use it on my dad, but the age will be higher. lol, (means more work for me. ha)
Well, I’m excited for lots of family vacations. Tim and my daughter finish up school this week and then off to some fun family outings. We have some Zoos to visit, LEGOLAND in Dallas, and lots of movies this summer. Along with house hunting, talk about a busy summer. 🙂
You do have a fun-filled June!! I’m excited to celebrate my husband’s first Father’s Day with him, and I’m looking forward to lots of barbecues and hikes!
Sounds like June will be filled with some pretty awesome things for you!
I’m pretty excited for June too. Tons of outdoor activities, drinks outside, warm weather. I just get excited.
Fathers Day! It’s on the 16th here! Also more outdoor runs and hopefully some more sunshine! 🙂
I am looking forward to the weather getting much nicer here in Seattle and also participating in some races!!
Hopefully Portland will have some great weather when you visit!! Have you been there before?
i haven’t and i cannot wait! i loved medford when i was there last year and i’m really looking forward to it!
I’m looking forward to spending some time outside enjoying this beautiful weather and going to see Cirque Du Soleil (so excited!)!.
I’m looking forward to my birthday in a few days! 🙂
I am excited because I only work for 2 more weeks before getting a 5 week vacation!!
Have you trained anyone yet that follows your blog? 🙂
ha! not yet. i don’t really bring it up at work. 🙂
Wedding in Thibodaux, LA at the end of the month! Tis’ the season of weddings!
My sister turns 21 tonight and we’re going out to celebrate. Other than that, a birthday party for my nephew and TV shows!!!
I’m definitely looking forward to going to Chicago at the end of the month 🙂
SO wish I could go to Fitbloggin this year (especially since I’ve only been blogging for a few months now) I know that I could learn SO much, but it kinda snuck up on me so I’ll have to save up for next year maybe 🙂
You have such a busy June ahead of you! I’m looking forward to just spending time with friends, nice weather, and possibly getting a new phone! 🙂
I’m looking forward to moving into our house!! So exciting 🙂 And slightly overwhelming haha Do you find that it takes you a while to finish your smoothie? I had one for lunch and it took me like an hour to eat it haha
I’m looking forward to a Big Bang Theory themed dinner theatre at the end of the month. The last time I went with the boyfriend and a couple of his friends it was a Ghostbusters theme.
Portland reader here! I love that you are visiting my fabulous city! If you need any restaurant or shopping recommendations while you are here, I’d love to help you out. Happy June!
Ah, I am so so excited you are going to be in Portland!!! You are going to have an absolute blast!!! 🙂
Looking forward to the pool and settling into a new house. I’m a teacher so summer break is WONDERFUL!!
Moving across country to California!!!
June looks like an exciting month for you! I bet FitBloggin is going to be a blast, I wish I could go. I’m also hoping to make it to the dog beach this month. We’ve been to one on the Atlantic coast in Florida so now we have to go to one on the Pacific coast in Cali!
I love that your tuna salad is packed with all those carrots and celery! It looks so crunchy 🙂 I’m excited to be graduating from college this month! It has been a LONG time coming, and although I won’t be completely through with school (still working toward my teaching credentials/masters), I’ll finally have my B.A!
Love the treadmill workout. Simple but seems perfect for a good sweat :-). I’m most definitely looking forward to a trip to Nashville for my 30th with my BF this month. I’m a HUGE country music fan so this was just the gift for me.
It is my best friend’s 30th birthday later in June and it is going to be such a fun night of dancing and drinking and just generally having fun I can’t wait.
I wish it was summer here. It has just turned to winter here in Australia and it is coat, glove and scarf weather.
I’m so glad I found your tuna salad recipe it is now one of my lunch staples, I’m obsessed 🙂
Gah! I feel like I’m writing on a celebrity’s blog! I’ve been reading your blog daily for awhile now and have found it SO helpful and inspiring, but I’ve never commented before. That is so awesome that FitBloggin’ is going to be in Portland (otherwise known as where I am, yay!) It’s a great city and I hope you have a blast! (I’d love to go but I only *just* brushed off my blog and started posting…um, yesterday.)
I’m looking forward to going to Alaska in a few weeks!
It still doesn’t feel like summer here (weather-wise) and that’s driving me crazy! I’m so ready for hot days.
This month my husband and I celebrate our 1-year wedding anniversary, which I’m really excited for!
You might like the Rise & Shine alarm clock from Brookstone! I bought it because it has a light that gets brighter and brighter until wake up time which is great in Chicago winters when you want to feel like there’s “natural light” to wake up to. But, the alarm on it sounds like a meditation gong and it gets gradually louder as it is time to wake up. I find it is much less jarring than the harsh “buzz” clocks!
YIPPEE!!!!!!
I am definitely in the summer mindset too! Looking forward to a trip to New Orleans in a few weeks, and hopefully some shorter trips up to NH to hang out by the lake!
Ooh I live in Portland! You will have a blast for sure. I am looking forward to my trip to Costa Rica in just 10 days!
I love busy but fun months! That’s the case for me as well. I’m finishing up school finals and then heading to visit my cousins for the rest of the month!
P.S. I did your Lower Body Burnout Workout today and it was killer! Feelin’ the soreness already!
awesome!
How many miles did you get done in those 20 minutes? Thinking of doing that workout tomorrow AM!
a little over 2! 🙂
This is my last full week of high school! I’m going to the US v Panama National Men’s Soccer game on June 11, last day of high school June 13, graduation June 15! Half marathon June 22, and college orientation June 24-26. Busy busy! 🙂
Julie – What is your favorite beach in Florida? I am looking to find a new vacation spot 🙂
You’ve got a fun month ahead! I’m hoping for some big things this month, but we’ll see what it brings. I really want to go to FitBloggin but it just wasn’t in the budget this year since money’s tight!
My boyfriend and I are vacationing in South Florida this month! Definitely a little nervous about all the Alligator stories I hear… But really excited for the beach:)
June is always a crazy month for my husband and I. But this year I am most excited about FitBloggin! I just re launched my blog on Saturday so I can’t wait to meet bloggers in person. This is my first major blog conference! Can’t wait to see you there.
It sounds like you have a ton of fun plans for June!! I am excited for my best friend’s wedding on the 15th. It should be a good time!
Wow, an action-packed month for you! I had two vacations in May so June is a bit quieter. I’m looking forward to planting in my garden with my Mum and her boyfriend.
Did you review If I Stay Yet?
Ooooh a BBQ at the beach would be reallly nice this summer! But what I’m really excited for is to finally give birth to our daughter in 11 days! Oh my, it might not even be 11 days, who knows? But thinking about that day is so cool yet surreal and strange at the same time–it’s like a whole slew of emotions jumbled up together. 🙂
I’m looking forward to my summer classes being over!! Can’t wait!!
I have such a busy June ahead. A lot of work in a queue to be completed, will miss all the fun of this month.
