day 4 // huhot.

+ i like being a little brown before the summer

+ my legs are definitely starting to feel it today...but its a good burn

+ husband and i discovered a delicious little place last week and decided to have a date night at HuHot. it's like teppanyaki but you get to make your own. 

+ sadly i'm not very good at buffets...i go for one round and i am stuffed. luckily men can eat 'for days.'

+ i like fruit snacks...just thought i'd say so.

+ i feel like i should probably stop making lists, i have a problem. 

+ so school sucks as well...and who knows when i graduate.

+ i wish i was good at school

+ someday i'll make a legit post....

Happiness Is...

• warm weather, and not having to wear a jacket
• smooches on the forehead 
• Chinese noodles...yum :)

day 3 // & a playlist.

+ well here we go with day 3

+ i liked day 3. i started to feel good and committed

+ of course i'm a little behind on posting but not on getting my swol on, yep that just happened.

+ i thought since i work out i might as well post a workout playlist. since they go together like peanut butter and jelly. 

+ i tend to make a new playlist every time i go to the gym.

+ i'm a playlist junky 

+ if you don't like a certain song skip it, since i do like a certain kind of music...i am prone to put that music into my playlists. judge if you will. 

+ but especially when i work out i need something that could keep me pumped.

+ so here are some ideas for your cute little minds:

+ p.s. it wouldn't be a workout playlist without some lil' john...enjoy his raspy voice

+ you gotta have 2nd sucks for the second song on every playlist...


Happiness Is...

• knowing that the semester is almost over
• fuzzy jackets
• cuddling before bed
• mexican food
• wearing TOMS
• where there is [free] wifi
• freaking bates motel...insanity
• feeling the burn in my legs
• when the kids call me 'mrs. sara'

day 2 // brown.

+ day 2 has been good

+ my love for tanning hasn't changed, and i am starting to look a little brown. thank you to my Australian tanning lotion

+ so far i still like going to the gym, i am hoping that it sticks

+ old navy has the best bras...the girls don't bounce any more when i run [sorry if that's TMI, but i would invest in some]

+ when my husband comes home from work its the best! i tend to miss him quite a bit

+ i tend to wish he was home during the day, because i'm home alone with all of our food...and we have some good food stored in those cupboards 

+ that man and i started Bates Motel last night. it is strangely intriguing. and fully of potential serial killers

+ i see people reading while they run...i wish i had that skill...

+ hot pink may be my new favorite color...ick

+ also my dear logan friends, if you ever want to go to the gym, or just hang out with some one semi funny and entertaining [me], i could use a gym buddy. so lets be cute, yeah?

Happiness Is...

• food, obviously
• my husbands dimple and crows feet. they make me happy
• bread, why is it so wonderful?
• my black and white pillows
• fun running tights/spanx
• kisses, i'm sure they will be on my list everyday, because i smile every time
• oh children....let me tell you what they say:
• teacher: "we always include everyone. what if you were left out, wouldn't you feel sad?"
• child: "nah, i'd just lie down and take a nap."
• me: "hahahahahahaha"
• strawberries! i could eat them all day long

+ neon shoes make it funner to workout
+ i am starting a 30 day challenge to get my butt into shape. in the middle of the month

survival of firsts.

yesterday i survived my first day of the spring semester and first day back at work after the wonderful break. I sure have missed my 2nd graders, and they were extra crazy and cute! supposedly one 3rd grader acquired the belief that he is an crocodile over the break, or at least that's what he told me.

i also survived the first day of P90X with the husband, and it sure kicked my butt! we were suppose to work on back and chest, but we don't quite have a pull-up bar yet. so we worked on our legs...and i'm sure feeling it today. i feel like i can barely walk or squat. i guess that's what happens when you are slightly out of shape. thankfully that will change soon enough.

luckily i'm willing to work hard and i have someone to do P90X with. there is nothing worse than the thought of doing workout videos by yourself...that's why i'm glad i have my husband as my motivator. in the end it will be worth it, and "we'll be jacked" in the words of my husband. i just want to exercise and feel good again. i've eaten too much junk over the christmas break and haven't spent enough time running. after our hard-core workout we finished off with a smoothie and shower. 

wish me luck with P90X! i will try to keep you updated with my progress, and hopefully this new years resolution won't kill me in the process.

we have also kept up on our other new years goals. we have said our nightly prayer every night, and have read our scriptures ever night before we go to bed! i am quite proud of our little accomplishments and can't wait for them to continue!

in the words of my husband, "let's get jacked!"
