It was a perfect day out today! 72 degrees and a small breeze. I, however, was in the house most of the day doing the cleaning thang. I usually reserve laundry and deep house cleaning for Sundays, and just do the essentials throughout the week. Kitchen, vacuuming, and anything else that needs to be done. My schedule is great this semester though! I have classes from 10-6 on Monday/Wednesday and work on Friday. I have both Tuesday and Thursday off! So that gives me a lot of time (when my son is in school) to get stuff done.
So, I do this thing where I put on my work out clothes in the hopes that it will make it easier to work out during the day. This little trick did not work yet today! I have crossed a lot of items off my to do list, but getting schweaty has not yet been one of those. I think I’m going to pop in a Turbofire DVD in a little bit and then eat dinner afterwards.
I tried one of my new Raw Revolution bars for a little snacklette today. I had the Tropical banana flavor and it was not quite as good as I hoped. So far the Spirulina & Cashew stills takes the proverbial cake!
I also had an Iced Green Tea packet that I picked up at Whole foods last week. I sweeten it with a little stevia and it’s really yummy. Not quite as good as Starbucks passionfruit iced tea, but it does the trick. I made it in my reusable cup, which I loovvee. I use it every day at least once.
It definitely looks like swamp water in the picture!
I ran a few errands with my Madre and then dusted off the food processor to make some banana soft serve.
Approximately 1 frozen banana, 1 scoop amazing grass chocolate superfood, enough almond milk to get it moving, and Spiru-Tein unsweetened banana protein powder. This flavor isn’t that great, but I had a packet so I figured I’d use it!
Onto the even better stuff: clothes & accessories.
This is one of my favorite finds from yesterday:
This usually would not be my style, but you can’t tell me this isn’t cute. Quirky, but still cute. I will be rocking this to class in the next few weeks, for sure.
I’m in love with this owl necklace I found at Forever 21. Simple, but again so cute. Does anyone else like the owl trend? Owls symbolism wisdom, which I like as well.
And the clothes/accessories pile that is going to Goodwill to make room for the new purchases.
I'll leave you with a pic of me in my stunna shades that I found for $2 the other day. haha! I lose my sunglasses so often that I can't pass up a pair for only $2!
As we speak I am snacking on Mary’s Gone Crackers and hummus. Dilemma: I have to portion these out because I cannot put them down!
Do you have any little *tricks* that you do to make it easier for you to work out or to make it more likely that you’ll do it? Like I said, I do the “wear your workout clothes all day until you do it” thing. And I also keep a workout bag with the essentials in my car *just in case* I have time to squeeze in a workout during an otherwise busy day.
