GOALS

So I’m a little late on making my August goals but I’m never on-time to anything so that doesn’t surprise me. I blame this all on my mom…She has always been known as the pokey little puppy. I’ve inherited this gene. Lucky me.. But as we all say better late than never! So here they go:

• Work out 6x a week – My friend (and blog reader) Erin (hi!) sent me a 30-day free gym pass so I need to put it to good use!
• Find a race to train for in NYC/NJ for the fall
• No ice cream/fro-yo/cake/cupcakes until my birthday – I’ve become way to comfortable with having a decadent dessert every night. Granola/Cereal after dinner is fine but Ice Cream etc is off limits!
• Pick up the job hunt search… I’ve been looking everyday randomly. I need to set aside 90 minutes daily to just apply to jobs.
• Eat in all meals at least 6x a week if not 7. To save $ and to eat healthier.
• Go kayaking, hiking or rock climbing on an off day of working out
• Take the time while I’m not working to explore Hoboken/nyc – I’ve been re-cleaning the kitchen or making the bed 3 times a day. I need to get out more!

Now that I’ve gotten my goals out of the way I wanted to share some things I’m loving right now.

• New headbands that STAY in my hair!

• Manicure/pedicure – I feel like a girl again, thanks to my boyfriend

• Mini vanilla wafers with peanut butter and dark choc chips – I’m not counting this as dessert!

• Our family photo video montage that was made last week in the OBX. I watch it when I miss them

• This article - Stop FAT bashing!!!!

• Something borrowed AND something blue – I actually finished a book (for once) and not only did i finish one last week but i finished two. These were both so good! I wish there were more!!

Tell me something you’re loving and one of your goals for August!

Taking Off

♥Wearing: Old Navy Vintage New York Giants Shirt; Black Target Running Knee Capri’s; Orange Reebok Easy Tone’s; Staple Jewelry: David Yurman Black Onyx Ring, David Yurman Hematite Bracelet, Ippolita Black Onyx Studs, Michael Kors silver and gold watch and Judith Jack Black Onyx necklace

Ready to get my workout on. (and clearly need to step up the weight lifting)

♥Reading: Being Committed by Anna Maxted – Sometimes I feel like someone wrote this book about me! It’s about a girl who is trying to find herself in order to have a proper relationship. I was in and out of serious long-term relationships before I met my current boyfriend. We started dating shortly after I finally figured out what I wanted in a partner and how relationships take work from both people and not just me (I cant save everyone, although I’d love to )

♥Glamourizing: Nails & Toes: OPI Too Hot To Hold Em
Lips: Dior Addict Lip Polish Eyes: Lancome Hypnose Drama

♥Listening: Britney Spears – Til The World Ends

♥Drooling: Maybe I will just go all out and eat all of these in one day!? After vacation of course… These recipes + bikinis = not pretty.

Mini Ham & Cheese Pretzel Paninis

Peanut Butter Cup Crunch Brownies

Cinnamon Roll Pancakes with Cream Cheese Glaze

♥Watching: Bethenny: Ever After – How have I survived the past year without her TV show?? She is pee your pants laughing hilarious.

♥Eating: Frozen Banana(chopped in food processor), 1/2 sugar-free dark chocolate pudding, fat-free whipped cream

♥Quoting:

♥Awaiting: To be in Key West in less than 24 hours… I might take the next week off from blogging – Still to be undecided. If I do, I’ll see you in a week

Sunrise my dad sent me this morning – Can’t wait to see it in person

I have a couple of new recipes to share with you but I’m being a spaz and running around doing last-minute things before I leave so I will have to save them for next week! Have a good weekend everyone!

QUESTIONS: Tell me something about your day…Eating, Wearing, Drooling, Listening, Watching, Awaiting, Quoting, Reading or Glamourizing! (it’s not a question but I’m still being nosey)
