I can’t believe it’s already Wednesday… This week is a-flyin’ by! You know what Wednesday means – another WIAW post coming your way! Head on over to Peas and Crayons for more info on the fun!
Today I thought I’d do something a little different than I normally do… I’m going to simply walk you through my day, including my eats of course. This specific day I’m walking you through will be Tuesday (as in yesterday). Tuesday is my day off, so it usually consists of cleaning, laundry, and catching up on my favorite TV shows. Pretty exciting, right?
I thought so. Regardless, let’s get to it!
6:00 am – wake up, brush teeth, change my clothes, make myself look somewhat presentable
6:15 am – start coffee maker, make my oatmeal

10:20 am – catch up on blogs, Twitter, email, Facebook, etc.
11:30 am – pick up the trail of clothes, shoes, iPod, etc. I left around the house when I got home from spin class

5:45 pm – get dinner ready
6:15 pm – eat dinner – “loaded nachos” (Garden of Eatin’ Whole Grain Tortilla Chips w/ Sea Salt topped with fat free refried beans, seasoned lean ground turkey, salsa, and plain Greek yogurt)
6:45 pm – clean up from dinner
7:00 pm – watch a couple episodes of “24” on Netflix with the hubs
8:00 pm – eat STUFT Mama’s 3 Ingredient Fudge while “oohing” and “ahhing” with every bite

9:00 pm – listen to Colbie Caillat Pandora station while writing this blog post
10:00 pm – go to bed… ahhhh yes.
So there you have it, a typical Tuesday in the life of Ashley. Pretty exciting, right? I actually really enjoy Tuesdays… It’s nice to have a chance to catch up on housework, laundry, and also relax a bit after a typically busy Monday and before conquering the rest of the week. With that, I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!
Questions:
- What do you typically do on your days off?
- What have some of your favorite eats been lately?

I catch up on house stuff too! During the week I just don’t have time for it so the weekends is when I do all of my cleaning and laundry.
I usually cook, clean, exercise, read articles, play with my puppy, and spend time with my hubby!!
I also like to read blogs, catch up on my DVR, and take a bubble bath or nap if time allows!
a bubble bath sounds amazing! i haven’t had one in ages… i need to do that stat!
My days off (weekends) are filled with lots of catching up from the week – cleaning, organizing, laundry – but I also enjoy spending some quality time with my boyfriend. With a busy week of work, we both don’t get the quality time that we’d like.
that’s nice to catch up on quality time together! my husband and i usually do that in the evenings and on sundays. tuesdays he works so it gives me a chance to get caught up on stuff i need to do.
Thanks for sharing your day! It is fun to see how other people’s busy lives pan-out! You seem to keep very busy. I need to spend a day cleaning my house because it is dusty! And, I love the Colbie Callait pandora station. I listen to it all the time at work!
colbie caillat’s pandora station is perfect for background music while working in my opinion – i love it!
I love this! Sounds like some of my days off, just throw in some school work! And Courtney is SO obnoxious!!!
I love these types of posts. I find it so much fun to get a sneak peak into other peoples daily lives!
I love that you whisk an egg into your oats. Do you bake it / heat it after you add the egg?
mmm it’s SO good! it gives it a “custard” consistency and adds extra staying power too. if you go to the link attached to “custard oats”, you’ll see a “how to” on custard oats from get healthy with heather’s blog.
I love putting eggs into my oats too… obviously tons of protein and healthy stuff plus it tastes delicious and adds much more volume!
exactly!
i haven’t prepared my oatmeal any other way since i started adding the egg – i love it!
ughhhh Courtney bothers me tooooo!!!!! That sounds like a perfect day
Hope today is a good one, too!
That’s fun to see a day in life of YOU!! I want nachos like that. And stat!!! Maybe I’ll make some for tonight?! <–if i have ingredients I will.
Thanks for the fun way to see your life
mmm they were SO good! and incredibly easy too!
Your day sounds like mine. Busy busy! Have you tried the new peanut honey pretzel luna bar? SO GOOD!
no i haven’t, but i really want to! i saw it on another blog and was immediately intrigued!
Looks like a great day!
I have got to get me some PB2 so that I can make that fudge!! Holy goodness does it look good!
I love that you give your dogs a kiss and tell them you love them when you get home – I always have to do the same! I always feel like I have to reassure Meeko that I didn’t WANT to leave her, even though she never seems too worried about it
haha yeah, they’re like my kids.
sounds like a productive day, I love the dog kisses:) My fave eat lately is spaghetti squash bake, so delicious and basically guilt free!
I get very annoyed with courtney too! “winning, winning”. Ugh i can’t stand it when she says that!
custard oats?? Yum!! I still have never tried that. Definitely going to now…yours look so creamy!
ohhh yes, they truly are as amazing as they sound!
Ashley, I found your blog the other day and I love it! Your eats look amazing this week- I really need to try the egg in my oats, I bet the extra protein would keep me fuller a lot longer!
thanks maggie, welcome!
the egg in the oats trick definitely has some extra staying power that i love!
I’m just catching up on your week (life has been kind of crazy), but I wanted to let you know that I love the entry for 9:40 a.m. Best thing ever
ah yes, i love our pups!
