Here’s a general update on life things before I have to start work this morning.
I’m feeling almost 100% after my cold. I’m still a bit congested so I sound sick but I finally *feel* good. Hurray! Thank you Cold-Eeze and Walgreens cold medicine and green smoothies. ;)
I made a”green” smoothie this morning that ended up being pink, but it was a perfect start to my morning.
I didn’t have any fresh spinach which is why it ended up being pink. When I have fresh spinach I use a ton of it in my smoothies. This one had:
4 fresh strawberries1/4 cup fresh blueberries1/4 cup frozen tropical fruit mix (mango/pineapple/etc)1/4 cup fresh kale1/4 cup frozen spinach1 cup diet V8 fruit juice (been trying to get rid of this)1 scoop vanilla protein powder3 ice cubesIt was cold, fruity, and delicious – just how I want my smoothies.
I love the travel blender because I can take the smoothie right from the base of the blender and drink it on the go. I normally do this when I’m headed to work alone. It’s so convenient! (Here is a link to the personal blender I use on Amazon for those who asked because it seriously is awesome.)

I’ve figured out how to get away from my problematic family member. In the past I’ve moved out, lived with friends, etc. This time? I’m paying my family to move out. Paying someone else’s rent is worth it for my own sanity, right? Right. Sometimes you love your family but you just can’t live with them.

I’m craving magazines. I really want to read a bunch of health and fitness magazines. I used to buy and read these when I did cardio to pass the time and keep me motivated. Before I went out and bought a bunch of new ones I was wondering if anyone has any old ones they want to get rid of? I love to read Oxygen, Fitness, Shape, Clean Eating, etc. Anyone? I seem to be more obsessed with strength and muscle everyday, so any magazines on those lines would be awesome. I don’t know if people keep old magazines or not, but just wanted to check before I go buy new ones and kill some trees.

I’m so super duper crazy excited about getting married in October. Things are going well for the casual and awesome wedding we are planning (after they got a bit off track) and I can’t wait for it! The above photo is our new location and it’s so pretty! :) I’m so excited to see Kepa again too. Long distance relationships can’t hold a candle to being with the person you love.

You know sometimes in life you get that feeling that you are right on the edge of getting everything you’ve ever wanted? Like you are changing so much but becoming just who you want to be? That’s how I’ve been feeling lately. It’s a really cool feeling.

Today is going to be a great day! It’s definitely off to a good start! How about yours?
