Chemistry

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!

When I got back, I did this killer 5 minute ab workout from the Fitnessista! I love her blog and read it everyday

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!

So yesterday’s chemistry midterm was ridiculous. The whole time you could hear people muttering curse words as they saw each new problem. And when the proctor announced that we had only 10 minutes left, the class was in uproar! It was almost kind of funny because it took the teaching assistants a good amount of time to get everyone to be quiet again. The good thing is that the entire class is based on averages, so if everyone in the class does poorly there will be a haaaauuugggee curve ;). I’m not overly worried about it.

Anyways, I’m so glad to be done with it! Now I just have to worry about a potential math pop quiz today and my chemistry lab.

After my midterm yesterday, I came back and took a solid two hour nap before lounging around for a while. Eventually, I put on my workout gear and headed to the gym to do a super quick workout. I ran two miles at an 8:34 pace before completing an ab circuit twice through. For some reason the 2 miles I ran were SO hard. I usually hate running on the treadmill so that might have played a role in the difficulty, but I guess I just wasn’t feeling the late workout.

just do your thangg girl!

Ab Circuit (Repeat x2)

20 leg lowering
30 bicycle crunches (I hate these!)
1 minute plank
50 scissor kicks
15 leg raises on the captain’s chair

After my workout, I went back home for some dinner with Kyle. I’m never hungry right after I workout so I didn’t have much of an appetite. Dinner was roasted pork loin, a baby sweet potato, and a big ol’ salad. I called it a night at 11:30 after working on some online calculus homework and slept like a baby till 8 this morning! That’s a pretty big accomplishment for me ;).

I think the last couple of days have finally caught up with me because I’m exhausted. I decided not to try to squeeze in a workout since I feel pretty meh. Breakfast was good though! I had some fruit salad with cottage cheese for some protein and split some whole wheat pancakes with Kyle. And coffee. Lots of coffee.

sweet nectar of life!

Hopefully today passes quickly. I NEED the weekend!

Have a wonderful day!
