- It’s Sunday morning. What are you having for breakfast? I’ll usually have a big breakfast on Sundays since I don’t often have the time to make it during the week, and love making a big breakfast. The standard Sunday go-to breakfast is an omelette with onions, peppers, a side of hash browns (grated and then fried into a patty), coffee and a protein shake.
- When you’re headed to the gym, what’s on your music playlist? Once at the gym I am usually doing some type of class-based workout so just listen to the music that they have playing. I’ll throw on a soundcloud playlist if I’m going for a run or cooking dinner after work. I am a music lover and appreciate all types of music, but most enjoy listening to good house music!
