on the chia bandwagon

thanks to Miss Fitnessistsa

I learned about chia seeds awhile ago

and have been adding them to my smoothies ever since.

But what I didn't know about 

was chia seed pudding

this S--- is great!

1/4 cup of Chia seeds

1 cup of almond milk

spoon of sugar

teaspoon of vanilla

I've also read recipes where people have added orange juice, kefir, syrup, bananas

you can really play with this

Put it in the fridge overnight

and you have a yummy healthy dessert!

On to my day...

Living on a budget is like being a little kid with an allowance.

I woke up this morning full of happiness ready to spend my $40
and patting myself on the back for not letting it burn a hole in my pocket during the week

I literally shopped at the mall for 5 hours.
I went from wanting:
shoes
perfume
dress
purse


but ended up with a pair of workout pants since my other pair was stolen
I also bought this water bottle for my long runs.


After shopping I finally got my butt into the gym
after being on break for 5 days.

Tonight I will definitely be using my foam roller because I am sore!

Today's Eats:

• bfast- Green monster, 1 egg, english muffin, feta cheese

• snack- Starbucks tall vanilla soy latte
• Lunch- Chic fil a- grilled chicken, on wheat bun (ate 1/2 bun) with lettuce, tomato and unsweet tea
• Dinner- "Healthy Moes"- brown rice, black beans, cheese, cuke, avocado,tomato, OG corn chips

• Dessert- cool whip with Anne's Graham Bunnies

She wants to party. She wants to get down.

Monday's Random Thought

Today I heard my theme song

All She Wants to Do is Dance

(sweet video)

I sometimes wish that this song would come on the radio and I can have an Ally McBeal moment 

as seen here:

And for those that don't know

Ally McBeal was the shish!
Anyone that wants to create a dance routine let me know

Sorry for all the YouTube videos.
My life has been lame as of late
