Oh, Wednesday is here! I don’t know if i’m excited about it or not! Ha!
Link up with Mel, Shay, and Sheaffer for What’s Up Wednesday today. Every last Wednesday of the month, we all blog about what’s been going on with us. If you missed my posts last year, check them out!
What I’m eating:
Lately, it’s been a lot of my creamy chocolate fudge protein shake. I’m pretty sure I have one every day, if not, then every other day.
In the mornings, i’m swearing by my toast (I love the charred black on it so I like to burn my toast), avocado smeared on top, and then scrambled egg whites on top of that. Throw on some pace picante and you have a nutritious, filling breakfast.
I made my peanut butter cup protein pie when Morgan was home…and all I got was ONE SLICE and it was gone. She ate the whole thing in like 2 days. It’s good, friends, it’s good.
What I’m reminiscing about:
Well, since I just mentioned Morgan…i’m reminiscing about her being home this past month. She was excited to go back but we had some fun while she was here!
What I’m loving:
Lately, it’s been sleep. When I can get some sleep that is…I feel like i’m constantly tired. Monday night I crashed around 11:30, like didn’t even get my episode of One Tree Hill in because I was so tired. Well yeah, I woke up at 8:15 yesterday morning with no reason to. WHY BODY, WHY?
What we’ve been up to:
Mom has been gone this week visiting her dad so my pops and I have been watching The OC together like we used to. Other than that, we’re just trying to survive on leftovers, dirty laundry, and paper plates 😉 I kid about all that…we’re self-sufficient when she’s gone but it’s easier when she’s doing all those things. Haha
What I’m dreading:
Probably if anything, work this weekend. I’m working two jobs while i’m going to school full-time, so the last thing I want to do is wait tables on the weekends. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
What I’ve been working on:
Creating a healthy balance for myself…
Between work, school, sleep, exercise, food, seeing my family, a social life, and “me time” i’m just trying to find the right balance in a healthy way. Feel free to let me know if you’ve mastered it all. Share your tips!
My blog friend Angie did a great job talking about self care in her guest post, you should read it here.
What I’m excited about:
I officially activated my gym membership on Sunday. So now that i’m “up and running”, i’m ready to keep on it with my group exercise classes…but also (because this is just me) i’m a little nervous because now i’m like “I won’t like it”, “This is 2 years”, “What if I get bored with it?”, you know…just being my normal anxiety-filled self. Working on that too!
What I’ve been reading/watching:
I talk about what i’m reading on next Wednesday, February 3 for Bookworm Wednesday!! You should link up with Katie and I for that.
At night, you can find me re-watching an episode of One Tree Hill before bed. Am I the only one that loves the older seasons better?? I kind of feel like that’s how it is with all my shows though. My dad and I are thinking of not even going into season 3 of the OC because it gets all dark on us.
What I’m listening to:
Right now, i’m typing this post during my break in between classes so i’m hearing students walking around, typing, talking, etc while i’m playing NF radio on Pandora.
But when I get out of my night class, i’m heading home to finish watching this week’s Bachelor episode! Watching some of my favorite shows has become my “me time” lately when I need to relax!
What I’ve been wearing:
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, these leggings (well and other pairs) are on. When i’m sitting in classes all day I do not want to be uncomfortable. I always have some leggings and a t-shirt/tank/sweatshirt on.
And then MWF,
I’m wearing my work clothes with my coffee. Coffee is part of my uniform on those days. It’s just what M,W, F calls for 🙂
What I’m doing this weekend:
I’m working Friday night, which i’m bummed about because I could have gone to a family dinner.
Saturday is going to be my relaxation day. I usually always try to have one day each weekend where I don’t have anything to do. This gives me time for exercise, schoolwork, blogging, etc. I totally recommend this if you’re not doing it already!
Sunday i’ll probably do some yoga before I work the dinner shift at work.
What I’m looking forward to next month:
Next month, i’m looking forward to…uh…nothing right now. There’s honestly nothing about February that gets me excited. It’s cold, there isn’t a holiday off from school. Well I guess I can be excited because it is a short month???
Oh wait, I know…
Fuller House premiering at the end of the month!!
What else is new:
Nothing that I haven’t already shared!
What is my favorite Valentine’s Day treat:
As I looked at this question, I definitely thought of those little Debbie chocolate brownies with the icing and sprinkles. So random, but that’s what came to mind! However, #thankyougluten I can’t have them. Maybe i’ll try and make my own??
Last year, I made a heart shaped cake for my family because i’m #sosweet 🙂
Nothing too exciting, but that’s what’s up this month!

Girlllll I feel you on the exhaustion! I always say I’m chronically tired haha! But seems like you’ve been a busy gal. Personally, I thrive off being busy but don’t wear yourself out!! You have graduation ahead!

Oh my gosh, try it! And yes, senior year is hard because it’s all the capstone projects and then of course trying to find a job…although, i’m not that stressed out about it! I don’t know if that’s good or bad haha

I CANNOT believe you burn your toast. Anything that I toast…bread, marshmallows, ANYTHING…I basically just toast it until it’s warm and slightly toasted and then take it right back out. I don’t even like golden brown. 😉 It’s very Texas of you to eat salsa and avocado with your eggs…or maybe I’m just weird because I eat mine with cheese and ketchup haha! Sleep help –> if you try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day (even if it’s late/early), your body will feel less tired. That works for me anyway! I’ve never seen The OC or One Tree Hill. Who am I?!

The char is good for you too!! And yeah, but PICANTE ON EVERYTHING! I guess that is so Texas, but anyone who eats eggs with ketchup is weird sooooo…
Also, get on with watching those shows!! They’re so awesome!! OTH is on Netflix, but I don’t think The OC is yet.

I remember the days of going to school full time and working multiple part time jobs! It’s hard but so worth it, and definitely important to have one “free day!” I love the OC, my favorite show from my teen years! My dad used to watch it with me too haha
LikeLike
Yes! I love being busy, but I mentally need one free day to get my stuff together. That’s so funny you and your dad watched it too. My dad likes it because a lot of the stuff does happen in real life so it’s interesting to see!

The OC is soooooooo good! I own all the seasons and definitely want to watch it through again. Every time I start I feel like I make it through season 2 or part of it and then I just forget about it or whatever. So I’ve seen the first two seasons waaay more times!

Haha those are the better ones anyways! Since we’ve started it again i’m realizing how much I’ve actually forgotten about!

One Tree Hill was the BEST show! I watched it religiously when it was on. I need to re-watch all of the seasons again! I’m sooo excited for Fuller House too! Full House was always one of my favorites as a kid & I still watch episodes. I hope you like the gym! Or hopefully they have a variety of classes so that you can mix things up!
LikeLike
Yeah that’s what i’ve been trying to do! I’m kind of worried that i’m exhausting/overextending myself now. Sigh. But yes…One Tree Hill has to be one of my absolute favorites. Ah, love! And Full House for that matter!
