life lately

0 · Oct 10, 2012 · 17 Comments

Let’s catch up, shall we??

First off – I’ve missed you guys!

Secondly, thank you to all of you who have asked how school is going.  I’m happy to say I’m still absolutely loving it.  I’m learning A LOT (as evidenced by my lack of posts lately) – and I’m soaking up every last bit of it.

So here we go…

It’s finally getting to be sweater weather around here…and I couldn’t be more excited about it.

Fall clothes are the best.

Period.

I’ve been eating a lot of quick and easy meals…but they’ve been working just fine for me!  Maybe the more I adjust to this new school schedule the more I’ll be able to really plan ahead and do batch cooking on Sundays so we can just heat and eat <— my favorite way to get food on the table these days!

Breakfasts

Workouts:

Workouts lately have consisted of a lot of cardio (elliptical and running) and pilates/yoga sessions.  It feels SO good to be back in a regular workout routine again.  I was going crazy at the start of school when I hadn’t fully figured out my schedule yet!

Other than that there’s been a whole lot of studying, visiting family and not much sleeping!  The life of a grad school student huh? 😉

    It makes me so happy that school is going well!! I miss you and your frequent posts, but it helps that I can imagine you loving your life right now.

    (Also that 5:16 pace on your garmin is blowing my mind. You are my hero.)

      Haha it’s a lot of work but it’s SO gratifying! I love how much I’m learning and I love that it’s in an area that I’m so passionate about 🙂 As long as you pick a program you’re excited to learn about, it’s so worth it!
