Blue Apron meal 3

I love Mexican food so i was really excited for this…..well i was excited but skeptical, a healthy enchilada??

Did all my meal prep

The house smelled amazing while everything cooked

I love cheese

Overall they tasted good but I need a lot more cheese. I made extra enchiladas to put in the freezer so I might buy some less healthy enchiladas and mix them with the healthy ones. One unhealthy and one healthy enchilada is better than two unhealthy enchiladas right?

I fell asleep before I could post this

5 days in a row running!!!

I am pretty sure this is the first time I have ever run 5 days in a row in my life!! Woohoo!! 

My heart rate stayed pretty high which was nice but I was tired, 5th day in a row made me tired so i fought for every step of my short two miles 

This was the rest of my day

Some HTGAWM (I can’t believe that is an actual acronym that is used, it’s way too long)

How To Get Away With Murder

And a healthy snack, getting back to good eating

I forgot how amazing this tastes. 

How was your day? 

What is the longest consecutive number of days you have run?

Holiday catch up

My last few days:

Lots of studying 

Mixing in some fun studying 

Still continuing my Gray’s Anatomy bindge 

I made the bf my favorite family breakfast, it’s basically chipped beef on toast, my dad called it SOS and he learned it in the military. 

Artemis liked it too


I ordered some awesome anatomy flashcards to study from

Had another great breakfast 

Really enjoying the sight of my bf’s running shoes by the door. 

And 4 days in a row of running!!! Yay!

How was your Holiday?

Blue Apron day 2 and studying

Happy Hump day!!! The week is now more than half over, woot woot!!

This morning I got the call that i wasn’t needed for package delivery today…….HALLELUJAH!!!!!! My right forearm and right butt cheek have noce bruises on them from a good fall yesterday.  

I got to relax and sort of sleep in this morning then make myself a delicious breakfast sandwich. 

After that came studying. I was actually really looking forward to studying today hahahaha. 

I got through one module then took a break and did the reading on a second module. I got up to cook my Blue Apron meal.

There are short lecture videos and activities that come with studying so I did a little multitasking 

Yep, I had videos playing while I cooked. 

I got through 2 entire modules and a practice midterm today. 

Here is the finished food product 

In the PM I started to read one of my mom’s presents to me

I am so excited to garden this year. It will be a noce break between working and studying. 

And I am soooo looking forward to all the amazing meals I will be able to cook with fresh food. The amazing boyfriend has agreed to help me with the garden as well 🙂 added bonus. 

Have you ever had straight off the vine/branch/stem/out of the ground food? 

Blue Apron meal 1

I am stoked, I got a coupon for Blue Apron off the Hungry Runner Girl’s blog weeks ago and finally put it to use and got a Blue Apron box!

This is the first meal:

I am still in love with the labeling and how simple they make it for me to cook a gourmet meal

Searing the pork before it goes in the oven

The verde “salsa” I use quotes because to me salsa is made from tomatoes and this was not 

My stove was actually respectable enough to take a photo of. The boyfriend helped me clean the kitchen this weekend

And for the finished product!!!!

Not too shabby. Now I am set for dinner tomorrow if i get called in to sling packages and if not I have an awesome brainfood lunch for studying tomorrow………even though i need the money I am hoping for the studying because I am wiped out from delivering packages all last week and today, and today I fell down some stairs while doing it and am SORE. I would like to sit on the couch tomorrow and study. Keep your fingers crossed for me. 

How are things with you?

Tune in tomorrow for the next mealm

What are your holiday plans?

It’s supposed to be my long run day

The boyfriend and I were planning on running but the sidewalks were still pretty icy. 

So sadly the run didn’t happen today. I’ll also admit that I didn’t rush off to the gym to run on a treadmill since I might be helping deliver packages all next week and I was pretty sore after one day so I didn’t run. 

Other news, as I think I have mentioned I am originally from southern California and am an In’n’out burgers lover but from east coast people i have heard that 5 guys is way better. I finally tried it to compare

I do not see the hype, it is in no way better than In’n’out. 

The adorable puppy

I have also found out that being healthy can make you money. See achievemint.com

How cool is that?

How was your Sunday?

December Ipsy bag

Once again for $10 I got a little treat, and it couldn’t come at a better time. 

It came in a glam bag, perfect for New Years Eve, if you are going out. 

This is what it came with:

Radiance renewal mask, can’t wait to try it

Excited to see how this dark green color looks on my brown eyes

Eyeliner, the color is iris so it should be a nice dark color within being overly dark like last months black eyeliner 

Not sure how i feel about this. I like shiny lips over matte, but I’ll give it a try

Last but definitely not least, I’m really excited about this, I am always looking for a great hair product that will enhance my curls and ease frizz. 

Results of last month’s ipsy:

I liked 3 of the 5 items. The black eyeliner was waaaay too dark on me and the lipstick/gloss was a weird pink that i didn’t like. But I liked the mascara, the nail polish and the face serum. All in all it’s still a bargin for 10 bucks. 

Day 2 working out in a row

Happy Hump Day!!!!!

Got my butt to the gym for the 2nd day in a row (first time in awhile that I’ve done 2 days in a row).

Did 2.6 miles on the treadmill 

And 10 minutes on the elliptical.

Made it to the gym and home before the snow started, it went all day and was beautiful!

I spent my afternoon studying. I found a few free apps to help me study all the anatomy jargin (that is what i am struggling with in my personal training certification)

Coffee was of course needed for studying. I finally put to use one of the gifts my roommate brought back for me from Australia earlier this year

 How cool is  that? It’s a chocolate spoon you mix/melt into your coffee to make a mocha. 

I am trying to get rid of the dairy in the house and not buy more for awhile to cut out as much dairy as possible, so I made a grilled cheese sandwich

Why is sourdough bread so amazing?

How do you take your coffee?
