Spring Cleaning

Since spring is around the corner (I hope sooner than later) I have been adding some new clothes to the mix and getting rid of some super old ones. I have been living in leggings since I have gained 35lbs (plus side is that I have lost 5 which means that I have 30 more to go, blah). I have decided to start wearing regular clothes again (I still am wearing leggings but not as much). Here are some of the new additions to my wardrobe:

Express 

 

SEXY STRETCH LEGGING
 


 
 
 SEXY STRETCH SIDE STRIPE LEGGING

I bought 2 shirts from there also but they are sold out of them. This shirt is similar to the top though



Old Navy 

I bought a couples of pencil skirts to wear to work.




 






Pink



Varsity Crew

I have this shirt in black but online they only have the picture for the Maroon and White.



Slouchy Raglan Tee

This has become one of my favorite shirts to wear dressed up or down. The only color they online are the metal grey, aqua, and purple. I bought the hot pink one at a VS here. If you ever think about buying one, I definitely say do it.

Guess


Adriena Platform Pumps

I just bought these a couple of weeks ago and I LOVE them. They do make me about 6'2 but they look super cute with leggings or skinny jeans. My favorite part is the bottom of them. I am not one for animal print but these are pretty awesome.


Gap



Fluid long-sleeve T

I bought this shirt last week and I like the look of it with a scarf . I have worn the one that I bought a while ago that is similar to it with my other pencil skirt and my maroon American Apparel dress to work or with jeans.

 

 

That's some of the items I bought lately. I totally forget how old I actually am until I start looking through my closet and realize how old some of the things I have are. That's it for now. Laters.....

 



Thoughtful Thursday

Happy Thursday,
 
With one more day until the weekend I thought this Thursday it would be appropriate to have some fun thoughts for today. Here are some for you courtesy of Pinterest:


That's it's for now. Wait, there is one more that anyone of you who was a party girl during your college days (I mean, I danced on "evaluated surfaces" better than anyone) will appreciate this in your "old age":

 



 

I mean, how true is that. Now more Sunrise Committee here (except for Homecoming of course). Until next time, Laters......

 

 

Healthy Snacks

For the people who actually read this (I know who you are and y'all are super awesome and I would mail you fabulous presents if I was friends with you in real life) I am taking a cooking class about every semester as part of my Nutrition degree. This semester the class is an hour long and the lab is four house long (it is as bad as it sounds).
    Last Thursday (which is the day I have lab) we made healthy snack for our club meeting that we were having during class. The recipes came from Real Simple magazine. Here were the ones that we made and the calories in each:

Bagel With Ricotta and Strawberries
148 calories | 4 g fiber | 7 g protein | 5 g fat 
For the last of these we did bananas and strawberries.

 

Celery Sticks With Hummus and Olives
129 calories | 5 g fiber | 5 g protein | 8 g fat
The hummus was delicious. I took off the olives though because I had olives.

Beet Chips With Curried Yogurt
180 calories | 5 g fiber | 6 g protein | 11 g fat
The curried yogurt was really good. The chips were a different story. My classmates ended up over cooking i.e. burning them. We ended eating Kale chips which were a acquired taste.

 

Banana, Kale, and Almond Milk Smoothie
201 calories | 5 g fiber | 5 g protein | 4 g fat
Everyone said that this was really yummy. I did not drink this however since the container said it may contain coconut (which I am allergic to).

Ham and Jicama Wraps
74 calories | 2 g fiber | 8 g protein | 2 g fat 
These taste kind of like Asian pears. The grain mustard actual makes this.  



Whole-Grain Bread With Almond Butter and Peaches
135 calories | 3 g fiber | 6 g protein | 7 g fat 
We did the almond butter but added honey to it. Instead of peaches we used apples.





Most of these were super easy to make. It was interesting trying out some of the things that I have never had before like the Jiamca. I am going to try to not be a blog slacker for real this time. Until next time, Laters....

 



Thoughtful Thursday

I have been super slacker Navy her lately. On the plus side, the week is almost over. Yay!!!! Other than that it feels like Spring here in Alabama which is not fun when you are hiking across campus with three to four books and notebook. Anywho, here are some thoughts for this Thursday courtesy of Pinterest (some of these pertain to some of the things going on in my life in the last three months):




 

There is going to be a post about some of the food I have been making in my Food Service Operations class soon (oh, the life of a Nutrition major). Now off to the gym and to study for all my this I have in the next week. Until next time, laters....
