I’m Back!

by

Hey guys! Sorry to have been gone for the week. I had a TON of finals and they were all pretty killer and, as much as I missed it, I didn’t have any time to blog. It feels so good to be back though!

I honestly haven’t been up to much, just studying like a maniac, drinking copious amounts of coffee, and not getting nearly enough sleep. But, I’m free now!!! Expect a new post everyday ;).

Another thing I’ve missed is exercise. My workouts go down the poop-hole when I get stressed out, and I’m looking forward to having the summer to concentrate on my health! I was able to get one run in, though, which was an AWESOME way to help me to relax. I felt a million times better after it, even if it was short!

short and sweet!

I guess it goes along with my Type A personality, but I LOVE making lists. SO here is my list of thing I’d like to accomplish this summer:

Summer GoalsI know the Norwegian one seems a bit random, but I want to get back to my roots. I’m a weird mix of half Norwegian and half Japanese and was born in Norway. Norwegian was my first language, but I’ve forgotten most of it which is a huge bummer to me since I love languages. I still can understand a good amount of it though, but it’s time to get started on refreshing it before I forget even more.

As for the new craft goal, I’m open to suggestions! I think metal pressing would be really cool. I’m in love with the site Etsy and have always been drawn to their handmade and custom jewelry.

That’s it for now! Can’t wait to take some time to catch up with all y’all!

Leg Workout, My Boyfriends, & Black Coffee Virginity

Hello lovelies! Hope everyone’s Thursday is going okay :). Here’s what I’ve been up to since yesterday.

Gyming it up!

Gyming it up!I started off with my 20 minute elliptical workout:

20 Minute Elliptical Interval Workout

And then moved on to do some leg weights! I really wasn’t in the mood to use my arms, so I didn’t do a full body workout like I normally do. The booty is sore today, though, so it was a successful workout!

IMG_2368

Leg Workout:

  • Walking Lunges: 2×20 with 60 lb dumbbell
  • Dead Lifts: 3×8 with 100 lb dumbbell
  • Squats: 3×10 with 60 lb dumbbell
  • Bridges: 3×20
  • Box Jumps: 3×15
  • Jump Lunges: 2×30
Mooscles

ARGHHH get swoll!

After my workout, I went with Kyle  to go watch his tennis match. He’s a boss at tennis and plays in our school’s intramural advanced mens league. He played so well and won with a huge margin, putting him in the finals since he’s been undefeated this quarter. That’s my boy!

After, we met up with Hot Ryan to get Vietnamese food. I joke that Hot Ryan is another one of my boyfriends (I’ve claimed 4 so far ;)) and he and Kyle (boyfriend #1) get along fairly well. Just look at the love in their eyes! They actually made me take this photo over 5 times since they couldn’t get the endearing look right haha. I’m glad our love triangle works out so perfectly.

NOM so hard

On another note, can I get an amen for getting all of these workout clothes for $48? I’ve written a post about my love for the iPhone app Poshmark and scored all of these beauties for such a great deal. They all were new with their tags too ;). HALLELUJAH!

IMG_0864

Sorry for bombarding you guys with photos, but how cute are these photos of Kyle losing his black coffee virginity?

IMG_2388 IMG_2389 IMG_2390

"Nope. How do you drink this??"

“Nope. How do you drink this??”

Ahhhh, I love that boy.

The rest of my day will involve lots of class, my last lab of the year, and tons of studying. I only have 7 days left of college before I go home for the summer! I hope finals go by fast .

Hello and happy hump day! Since I usually post what I eat on Tuesday, I decided to just include the other things that went on yesterday as well.

Breakfast: Fruit salad with granola and cottage cheese for some protein. COFFEE!

IMG_2341

 Lunch: Hayuuuggeee salad with some honey mustard dressing. And a SUPER delicious spiced chicken burrito as well.

IMG_2343 IMG_2344

Dinner: Spaghetti with both meat sauce and pesto sauce with some caesar salad and a small piece of garlic bread.

IMG_2347I wasn’t feeling at all hungry, so dinner was a little on the small side for me.

Snackage: The lazy girl’s way of eating a banana and PB.

IMG_2091

 After eating, I read some blogs and got inspired to go on a run. Let me tell you, running after a spaghetti dinner is probably the worst idea anyone has ever had in the existance of forever. I ran two miles before calling it quits and walking a quarter of a mile home.

IMG_2352IMG_2365

I love UCSB!

I love UCSB!

 I felt pretty gross and sick, but the walk back helped me get back some bounce to my step and I joined some friends for Zumba! We even managed to persuade Hot Ryan to come dance with us. That boy sure knows how to get down and shake dat ass ;). He particularly excels at the sultry dance moves.

IMG_2364

Sexy and he knows it!

Zumba was a ton of fun, but like usual, I looked like a total goof trying to keep up with the instructor. My sport since I was 5 years old has always been soccer (I was captain of a Club team for the last 6 years!) and I’m the most uncoordinated person ever when it comes to dancing. I kid you not when I say that Hot Ryan is a better dancer than I am ;).

After our workout, some of my main ladies and I tried out a homemade honey facial. I’m not sure if it actually worked any magic on my skin, but it tasted delicious!

The rest of the night is going to include a coffee/chocolate date with my love bug and studying a bit for my upcoming finals. DSC_0752
