    What I Ate Wednesday + Day In the Life: 01-15-2020

    Published Jan 15, 2020 · Modified Mar 13, 2022 · by Alexis Joseph · 2 Comments

    Hiya, friends!

    How is life? Can I just say that I've been living on herbal tea and elderberry gummies lately, which I will continue to eat even when I'm not feeling under the weather simply because they're so darn tasty!

    I thought it would be fun to do another "day in the life" since things have been really busy with Alchemy Meal Prep launching next month. I bounce around between several initiatives throughout the day, and that's what keeps me feeling energized. I often get asked what exactly I do, so hopefully these glimpses can provide some clarity.

    6:45am: Wake up, pour coffee into my Yeti mug (we set it to brew automatically, game-changer). Open the Associated Press app and catch up on the news while I wake up.

    7:30am: Start doing blog work/checking emails, and looking at my to-do list for the day. I use Trello to stay organized with everything in my life from Alchemy to the blog to wedding planning. It's like virtual sticky notes and it's free!

    I feel most energized and creative in the morning, so I typically like to work a little, eat, get ready, then continue working.

    Breakfast

    8:30am: Eat! This was a big bowl of oatmeal with drippy peanut butter, chia seeds and honey crisp apple. I usually listen to whatever I'm "reading" on Audible while I eat and get ready for breakfast. The Wife Between Us is keeping me on my toes!

    Jeff and I spent a few hours on Sunday cooking up a storm so we wouldn't have to cook after we've worked all day and gone to the gym. It's a lot but I was so thrilled to have plenty of food ready to go this week!

    9am: Get dressed and ready to start switching gears to Alchemy stuff for the day.

    9:30am: Have a call with a couple email marketing gurus who are helping us with launch campaigns for Meal Prep.

    10:30am: Head to a coffee shop and work on copy for the new website. I finally fleshed out the wording for the "About" and "How it Works" pages. I love to write so creating websites for new businesses is always so fulfilling for me!

    Lunch

    12pm: Enjoy Israeli Power Salad that I prepped on Sunday paired with these savory chickpea pancakes dipped in marinara.

    1:30pm: Have weekly meeting with my partner and our management team at Alchemy Café to discuss strategic planning and initiatives for 2020, like more variety in our retail experience, an upcoming renovation, new menu items, team building, and beyond.

    Snacks

    3pm: Head to our Grandview store for a tasting with our chef and manager. We're working on a few new items, including a veggie burger for a potential Burger & Shake night, carrot cake, a small plate for when we launch dinner, and some sandwiches.

    5pm: Distribute tips for employees and get together cash deposit for the bank.

    6:15pm: Head to a super hard but amazing Butcher Shop pilates class! Kicks my butt every time.

    Dinner

    7:30: Get home, shower and put on PJ's. Heat up Instant Pot brown rice, sticky orange tempeh with roasted broccoli and carrots, salad, and Banza vegan mac and cheese with hot sauce (so random) for dinner. Feeling so grateful that we cooked on Sunday!

    8:30pm: Eat dinner, hang on the couch with Jeff, and watch Schitt's Creek. We're so obsessed! Write this blog post. Enjoy a dark chocolate salted peanut butter cup and sip peppermint tea.

    10:30pm: Get ready for bed and SLEEP!

    Do you have a morning or night time routine? Do tell!

      What kind of magic did you use to make that peppermint tea so frothy?

        I steam almond milk in my frother! (You do need the espresso machine it attaches to FYI.)
