So, you know how celebrities have these “day in the life” videos? The ones where they wake up at 4 a.m., do yoga on a mountaintop, drink green juice that probably tastes like lawn clippings, and then, like, conquer the world before lunch? Yeah, I thought I’d try that. For a week.
I picked Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. I mean, who doesn’t want to be The Rock? His routine involves: 4:00 a.m. Rise, cardio on an empty stomach, followed by an insane breakfast (steak, eggs, oatmeal…), then a multi-hour workout, promoting his various businesses, and spending quality time with his family. Daily.
6Day 6 and 7
I gave up. I went back to my regular life: waking up at a reasonable hour, drinking coffee, going to my (much less glamorous) job, and enjoying pizza (in normal quantities).
The moral of the story? Celebrity routines are insane. They’re designed for people who are genetically gifted and have a team of people to help them function. My life didn’t “fall apart” in a dramatic, viral-video kind of way. It just… became a hilarious, protein-fueled disaster. And I learned a valuable lesson: I’m much happier being me, with my slightly less-than-perfect, but definitely more manageable, life. Also, I now have a deep and abiding respect for anyone who can eat that much steak for breakfast and still be a functioning human being. LMAO
