Corporate girlie, dog mom, & gym rat morning ✨

Typical Monday - Friday In My Life

🌅 wake up

🦮 walk dogs

🍳 breakfast

💪🏼gym

💄get ready

📍work

This is a typical workweek for me. At the beginning, finding a morning routine that worked for me felt impossible! Over time, I learned that it’s so much harder on me throughout the day when I hit snooze over and over. Creating a good routine has helped me feel more energized, healthy, and accomplished 🌸

... Read moreFinding that perfect morning rhythm, especially when you're juggling a corporate job, a gym routine, and the boundless energy of furry friends, can feel like a Herculean task. When I first started mapping out my ideal mornings, I quickly realized my pups were a huge part of it, and their needs couldn't just be squeezed in; they had to be integrated thoughtfully. For me, the 'walk dogs' part of my routine is non-negotiable, not just for them, but for me too! It's my first dose of fresh air and a chance to truly wake up. I've learned that not every walk has to be a marathon. On busy weekdays, I prioritize efficiency. A quick, brisk 15-minute walk focusing on a potty break and some fresh air does wonders. I keep their harnesses and leashes right by the door to minimize fumbling. For those of you with multiple dogs, having them trained to wait patiently by the door in the morning is a game-changer – it saves precious minutes! Sometimes, if I'm feeling extra energetic or know they need more stimulation, I'll turn it into a short 'sniffari' around the block, letting them explore scents, which is incredibly enriching for them. Once we're back inside, it's a well-oiled machine. While I'm prepping my quick breakfast, their food bowls are also being filled. I've found that using a slow feeder or puzzle toy for their breakfast keeps them engaged and happy while I'm getting dressed for the gym. It prevents that 'I'm done eating, now entertain me!' energy burst right when I need to focus on myself. This little trick ensures they're settled and content, allowing me to fully commit to my workout without worrying about them getting into mischief. My gym time is sacred, so making sure my furry companions are comfortable before I head out is key. They usually curl up for a post-breakfast nap, exhausted from their morning walk and full bellies. I make sure they have fresh water and their favorite chews before I leave. It’s all about creating a predictable environment for them, which in turn gives me peace of mind. What I've truly come to appreciate is how my dogs ground me. Even on days when the thought of waking up at 5:00 AM feels impossible, their wagging tails and eager eyes are the best alarm clock. That quiet time walking them, watching the sunrise, helps clear my head and sets a positive tone for the entire day. It’s a moment of pure, unconditional love before the corporate world kicks in. It's truly a 'furry morning routine' because their presence shapes every step. For anyone struggling to incorporate their pets into a busy morning, my biggest advice is to be consistent and find what works for your specific dogs. Maybe it's an automatic feeder, a designated playpen, or even hiring a dog walker on certain days. It’s not about being perfect, but about creating a sustainable routine that benefits everyone in your household, furry members included!
