First of all - thank you for the sweet comments on
yesterday's post! I'm so glad you all liked how I styled a summer maxi dress for winter!
Today, I'm linking up with
Shanna because I want in on the randomness. And I have a funny story to tell. We'll get there soon - but I figured I'd give a little update on my goal of eating healthier and working out more.
1. I used a gift card from Christmas to buy workout gear from Old Navy. Yes, you read that right. I figured cute, obnoxiously bright workout clothes will help motivate me. And so far it's working! Old Navy's
Active line is fantastic if you're looking for affordable workout wear.
(This is not a sponsored post - I just use and like the line.)
2. After I abandoned the cleanse, what to do with all that almond milk?! I found the recipe for blueberry muffins made with said almond milk online and you'd never know they're "different." Which is good because I'm picky. [
recipe here] If you have any other good recipes, send them my way!
3. During a recent trip to Target with Matt, I volunteered to get the Valentine's Day candy because I like pink and red m&m's and chocolate in general. I went a little overboard - so it's time to also work on my self-control.
4. A healthy Pinterecipe -
skinny chicken parm turned out AH-MAZING. Matt and I couldn't stop mumbling how good it was as we inhaled it. I am definitely going to be adding it to my recipe binder and dinner rotation.
Now here's my story (if you're still reading). Since the sun was out yesterday and I didn't even need a coat to get the mail, I decided to go for a run. (I'm still building up my endurance, mind you, so I knew it'd be tough.) My ankles hurt, my nose was runny and I had an itch in my throat that would
not go away so I kept coughing. I must've looked like I was struggling because a police officer stopped to ask if I was okay. Since my mind was racing & trying to figure out what sort of law I was breaking as he pulled up, I was only able to spit out
'Oh I'm fine! Thank you though!' Real smooth, Alissa.
