Cinco De Monday

Monday before May

I've been going pretty strong with these Motivational Mondays! I love a good quote to start of the morning/week. Things are winding down at school and I'm finding myself going to two walks a day, painting my nails every other, spending excessive time on Pinterest and eating more than a normal human. However, I won't get too bored with this. 24 days!!!

Fresh Start Monday

I always need a fresh start after the holiday.. maybe because I eat a ton, maybe because I like to start fresh. Probably because I load up on ice cream and sweets. Post-holiday face :P . However, back on track today! I started this marvelous Monday with a 5 mine morning run followed by class for 30 minutes (senior status at it's best!) and then I headed to Giant for some detoxification food shopping...


Typical Food Shopping List 
- apples               - strawberries
- bananas              - butternut squash
- carrots              - oatmeal
- broccoli             - whole wheat wraps
- salad                - cinnamon Life
- sweet potatoes       - Luna bars
- eggs/egg whites      - peanut butter (Natural!)
- greek yogurts        - black beans
- salmon/ frozen fish  - canned pineapple
- canned tuna          - chicken breasts
- brown rice           - caesar dressing

New Things I'm Trying Out!
- cottage cheese       - avocado
- thousand island dressing
- KIND granola bars
- trying a 1-week-no-sugar diet! (we'll see...)

Hoping that you have a wonderful day and that it gets a little warmer out! Bring on the rest of senior year.

its a happy monday!

mooooonday!

messy monday

It's been raining all weekend! UGH! But, there's enough joy in the day for Motivational Monday obviously! Today is a busy day, Missy's birthday as well as classes, work and preparing for the week. Take on the day!

Happy Motivational Monday & first day of classes!!

Today was my last first day of college! 114 days till graduation! But most of all, I LOVE this quote... this runs through my head so often. Happy Monday and happy Spring Semester! :)

Motivational Monday #3

Happy last Monday of winter break! Started off the day with a short run and then saw my roommate who stopped by on her way back to school. I'm excited to be back with them in the Diva Den (our house at school hehe). It's crazy how this will be our last semester but I am so ready and so excited! Mondays are actually my favorite days, as are mornings. There's so much potential and excitement on Mondays (and mornings) and SO much possibility. It's like so, what will be new and exciting about this week? What will be new and exciting about today? Keeping a positive attitude helped me through nursing school and the NCLEX is COMING! Everyone hates on mondays, and getting out of bed. But, from the way I look at it, that's your best and most productive part of the day/week. Mondays, I accomplish so much... excluding winter break. My mom and I are headed to an aerobics class later on which is always fun, and I'm finding myself to be VERY bored this week. I hate when Jake goes back to school and I'm still at home because he is a lot of my entertainment during the day! We had such a good winter break though. I'm looking forward to this week, the snow storm coming tomorrow and headed back to Salisbury for the last time. Happy Monday!!! xo
