    During the week I workout at home right after work. Then I have a big glass of water, open a bottle of wine to let it breath and sit on the porch with my husband for a bit. After a fit, I pour a glass of wine to enjoy before/while fixing dinner.

    On the weekends it varies based on what time and type of workout.

    I workout at home after I get home from work, so I do my workout, which is usually about an hour long. I then eat some protein, like a few slices of turkey, or a couple of whole wheat crackers with some peanut butter, more water, and then jump in the shower. Then I make dinner and get on with my evening. Sometimes I'll do a few laps around my block after dinner.

    Take care of the kids. If I'm lucky and have time, I'll take a shower. Otherwise, I'm cooking, cleaning and/or regulating the house till I can hop in the shower.

    On bike days: shower immediately after I'm done before I eat dinner.

    On lifting days: eat immediately after I'm done before I shower. I am always ravenous after I lift, but not as hungry after I bike.

    Soon as I finish I get my shaker cup and drink my protein. Then I walk home, usually takes about 40 minutes.

    Depends on the day/workout:

    Mon-Wed: Cardio/weights: My gym is 45 min from home so I drink 8 oz of low fat chocolate milk right after (carb and protein replenish) followed by 16 oz of water. I drink those on the drive home. Then it's usually a shower, and a good dinner (I workout in the afternoon after work). Then a short yoga stretch in the evening before bed.

    Thur-Sat: Belly Dance practice or class--water, tons of stretching, and a chocolate banana smoothie to folllow. Bigger meal later.

    **If it's an intensive (like a 2-4 hour workshop), then I carry more food obviously, but this is just my typical weekly hour long practice.

    Sun: Long (40 min to 60 min) vinyasa flow workout (usually in a warm living room)--tons and tons of water. A warm bath with epsom salt (helps flush out toxins along with the water). Usually follow up with something light, like a cucumber salad, watermelon, or something that has a lot of water in it, and then have a light meal later.
