>HOWWWDYYY HOOOO!!!!! Happy Friday, y’alllll!!!!
Whatcha doing this weekend? My No. 1 priority is finishing my Master’s Thesis. A few exciting things coming up in my neck of the woods..
1) Graduation parties
2) Monday is my LAST day in Scienceland
3) My nursing assistant course starts on Tuesday (I’m doing this to get patient care hours required for the Physician Assistant (PA) program I’m applying to)
4) The weather is supposed to be GORGEOUS!!!
What’s on YOUR LIST???
Really sorry I’ve been MIA lately, I’m SUPA busy finishing up in lab, getting ready for my big career change, moving to a new apartment, aaaaaand coordinating last min details of a bachelorette party I’m hosting! Exhausting, right?!
This post is going to be quick and RANDOM, because my photo taking has been pretty scarce lately.
RANDOM ITEM #1: A new purchase
^The Blender Bottle (I picked mine up at Whole Foods)
The night before I add:
– 1 scoop protein powder
– Frozen fruit
– Dash stevia
– 1 tsp flax seed oil (to promote absorption of fat soluble vitamins)
– 1/2 tsp xanthan gum (for extra thickness)
The reasons I prepare my smoothie the night before are:
1) To save time in the AM
2) To give the fruit time to thaw and become mush so it can be easily whisked
When I’m ready to have it, I’ll add ~1 cup cold water, SHAKE, then throw in some ice cubes.
The RESULT? Pretty good considering no blender required. Don’t get me wrong, it’s doesn’t whip up one like my magic bullet does..
But it’s a good 2nd choice for when you’re on-the-run. HAVE YOU TRIED ONE???
RANDOM ITEM #2: p90x
I’ve had these DVDs for some time now, but have done workouts other than Shoulders and Arms and yoga. Kelsey (sistah) and I did the PLYOMETRICS DVD last night, and let me tell you – it KICKED OUR BUTTS! It was sooo fun though! A nice cardio break from running and spinning 🙂
Kels post workout:
^HA!
RANDOM ITEM #3: All natural margaritas
You knowwww I LOVE me some tequila, but I’ve always questioned what’s in that supa thick triple sec I add to them to make the perfect skinny margarita. Until now…
^ALL NATURAL Triple Sec! BOOOO YA!
That paired nicely last night with Sir Patron:
TRUE.LOVE.
RANDOM ITEM #4: Old pics
Attempting to clean my room in anticipation of our move, I came across these pics from college:
^Flip cup!
^Check out my SWEET highlights! LOL
^Me posing with my BFF Alyson (redhead) and old roomie Julie
TOO FUNNY! Can’t believe how YOUNG we look. Seems like yesterday that I was in undergrad!
Well I’m gonna get back to thesis writing (you can imagine how much fun that is!)
QUESTION: What are you MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO this weekend????
XOXOX,
