Hello all of my beautiful online friends! I’m sorry I’ve been MIA these past couple of days, I had my math midterm today and have a huge history paper due on Friday so I’ve been on work mode. It’s been quite the busy and stressful week and I haven’t had any time to blog. I missed out on WIAW, which is a big bummer for me, but I’ll recap some of my eats :).
FOOD!
Peanut butter fingers! (inspired by one of my favorite bloggers!)
A peanut butter finger followed each practice math question I got right. Food (especially pb) is the perfect reward ;). I think in a past-life I was a dog since this method of training (a.k.a learning) works so effectively for me. Woof.
I had a weekday dinner date with my main man tonight and it was… you guessed it! Vietnamese food! I got my usual fried rice with added pineapple (I LOVE salty-sweet combos) and a Thai iced tea. I actually ordered some thai tea leaves to make it myself over the weekend and it was a giant success! I don’t mean to brag or anything, but mine is way better than the restaurant version ;). I might do a giveaway of some of my favorite things and I would definitely include the recipe and ingredients for the tea if anyone would be interested in that. It is so freakin’ delish!
Classy and mature t-shirt: “T-Rex Hates Pushups”
10x happier than any clam!
My workout have been pretty subpar lately since I haven’t had any free time. I find it way too hard to fit in cardio and weights when I’m up till 2 a.m studying and wake up at 5 to review. I’m really looking forward to working up a sweat tomorrow though! Hopefully it won’t be too warm and I can go for a morning run. My legs are itching to move!

Hah I totally get the business! I skipped all workouts today in favor of studying. I’m finishing my paper around 1:30 and getting up at 6 for spin…tomorrow is going to be a coffee kind of morning
Ouch that’s an early morning! Coffee is my best friend 😉
LOVE the tshirt! One of my friends is a gymnast and he’s crazy muscular and strong, but he can’t get his shoulders far back enough to do a back squat and we joke all the time that he has “t-rex arms,” hah.
Hahahah that’s TOO funny! Poor guy 😉
I would totally be interested in your recipe!! I am in LOVE with chai tea and would like to try your Thai iced tea as well. You and your man are so cute
I’ll definitely include it then! Thai iced tea is the most delicious thing ever. It has such a unique flavor. I’m obsessed ;). Thanks girlie
I am so interested in your recipe! I don’t eat Thai so much, but all the meals look wonderful and amazing combos. I love anything sweet and salty too. Best of both worlds
I was just in the same boat with workouts when it came to the end of the semester. No worries, once your done school you’ll be back on your A game
!!
So glad some people are interested! I’ll look into making a giveaway for some :). Hopefully I will be able to get back into my groove like you said
Eep! Hope your midterm went, girlie, well and good luck on your paper as well! I remember how hectic those crunch times were when I was still in school, but good snacks and fun dates always make them so much more manageable
It went okay! Thanks for the well wishes :). They totally do. It’s important to manage work with play!
I am not sure if there is anything better than peanut butter. Maybe avocado? 😉 haha
that’s the perfect learning system 😉 it’s worth sacrificing a little exercise for study time — finals are almost over!!! 😀 i’ve gotten into the habit of reading notes while i go on the elliptical, win-win!
