A Great Run & Cheap Find

by

Hey guys!

I hope you had a restful Sunday :).

I slept in till 9:30 this morning, which is the latest I’ve woken up since I can remember! Granted I slept pretty horribly (it was SO hot), but that’s still an accomplishment for me. I grabbed a quick breakfast of oatmeal, fruit, yogurt, and coffee and then plunged head first into work and studying.

*vomit*

After a while, I decided that I should probably stretch out a little since I’m still pretty sore from my workout on Friday. I youtubed a yoga video and it was great, I hadn’t realized what great resources you can find online!

I then put on some pump-up music to get me excited to go out for a run ;). I decided to not push myself to go as fast as I could and ended up running 3.5 miles at a semi-comfortable pace. I was pretty happy with my times seeing my “comfortable” pace is less than 20 seconds or so above my pushing pace!

I read some blogs and then ate dinner. I wasn’t all too hungry so I just had some baked cod with lemon and a salad. Later on I nommed pretty hard on some cherrios and mini wheats though to make up for it!

Dinner was followed by more work work work with some breaks in between where I snagged these awesome Zella crops on eBay for less than $30! They usually sell for WAY more and I’ve been dying to get a pair in gray, so I’m a happy girl. A confession: I’m absolutely and irrationally obsessed with cute workout clothes. My inner hound dog comes out when it comes to the hunt for affordable pieces!

The new Game of Thrones episode came out tonight, so you can bet your pretty face that Kyle and I watched it over a coffee/See’s candy date! It literally was the most shocking episode ever. I still can’t get over it and all throughout the night Kyle and I have been exclaiming, “I can’t believe ______ happened! WTF!”.

After the episode Kyle helped me with some math and I studied a bit for a French test tomorrow.

It’s nice to be done for the day!

    Workout clothes are the only thing I shop for, even when I go shopping looking for something else. It’s a problem. I can’t remember the last time I slept in past 8, let alone 9! That would be so nice, although I could live without the heat. It’s brutal here!

      Haha I totally feel you! I literally can’t resist not looking through the racks for them and usually walk out with something.

    Oh my goodness I LOVE WORKOUT CLOTHES. Probably way too much. I showed up at our friends’ get-together Saturday night in a workout tank and athletic shorts and one of my friends asked me if I had just gone on a run…hah.

      Hahah I’m known among my friends as the girl who lives in them. They always seem surprised when I put a dress on for once ;). We’re like twins in that regard haha!

    I love workout clothes, and someone posted this quote on IG the other day – and I couldn’t stop laughing…”If we lost weight just for wearing workout clothes all the time – we’d be the skinniest bitches around”
