Hey hey hey hey HAAY! Happy Friday everyone.
Let’s talk about how this week dragged. Actually no, scratch that. I’ve been complaining too much on this here blog here and that needs to stop! Let’s talk about the positive things from my week. No pictures, just words. Ok and some Ecards
Food:
I wish I took more pictures of my food, but then again I don’t because that means more time between my food being on my plate and my food being in my belly. As much as I’ve been on a budget this year, I’ve found ways to make some pretty delicious dinners. Oh and Annie’s white cheddar mac and cheese has found its way into my kitchen recently, albeit quite doctored up with loads of spinach and onions but still, why did it take me so long to try this stuff? Yea it’s still boxed and processed and high in sodium but c’mon, the convenience factor is what sold me.
Exercise:
I think I’m slowly finding my groove again. My booty and thighs are dying from all the squats and lunges I did on Tuesday, but I love it. That just means my butt CAN look better, and it will, I just have to keep doing these damn lunges. I swear they are the single best thing you can do for your butt. And in south Florida, your butt is your everything, hellooooo latina competition. Oh and I did manage to get in my weekly yoga yesterday, probably will again tomorrow because I’m at like a 9 on the slouch-factor scale.
Internship:
Week one of two at WIC has passed, and I survived… mostly by just weighing and measuring pregnant ladies and little babies all week. I mentioned that I was placed at one of the south, like SOUTH, Miami facilities, which means two things, 1) long commute and 2) all Spanish. I’m serious, every single person is either bilingual or hardly speaks English so 95% of the time they’re speaking Spanish. I took years and years of the language throughout K-12 but if you don’t use it you lose it and I am struggling to even figure out what everyone is saying all day. But interestingly enough I like it, it’s challenging and my brain is finally starting to kick into Spanish mode a little bit. It’s funny because what you learn in school is not like it is in real life.. conversational Spanish is totallyyy different.
Coffee:
On a related note, Cuban’s know their coffee. Everyday at 3pm, one of the guys in the office yells “CAFE LISTO!” and comes around to everyone with a little shotglass-sized-cup and pours a shot of this delicioso coffee… thick, strong and sweet. It’s so addicting but is crazy caffeinated so you have to be careful. I usually only have one, sometimes two little shots of it otherwise I’m up all night.
Life in general:
I was supposed to be going down to Key West tomorrow to visit a friend but plans got a little hazy and we aren’t going anymore. After a rainy and stormy few days, the weather is supposed to be fabulous this weekend so I am a leeettle-bit bummed but no mind, I’ll just spend my Saturday by the pool to make up for it! And maybe go to the beach, but it’s still spring breaker season so everything is crazy over there, we shall see.
All things considered, it was a pretty good week. And it’s now almost 3am because I came home at about 6pm and crashed on the couch for a solid four-hour nap… so I ate dinner at 11pm and probably won’t fall asleep again for a while.
How was your week?
Yikes! Your schedule does sound crazy. Oh, and making make and cheese, but adding in some healthy mix-ins? GENIUS! Seriously, mac and cheese always has such a negative connotation nutrition-wise, but that’s a wonderful idea, especially if you’re crunched for time. I might have to try that!
My week has been a bit hectic, too. My company partners with the Cincinnati Reds, so I had to work some promotional events at Opening Day and Opening Night (it was fun, though!).
Now, I’m just impatiently tapping my foot as I wait for spring weather to finally arrive.
I looooove adding things to mac and cheese, makes it seem much more gourmet haha. Spring weather is on it’s way for you!! Soon!
i enjoy your posts so much as I am also finishing up grad school (pharm) so I can totally relate to your state of mind (i.e. exhausted, broke, oh so over it) these days. More so, I also live in South Fla. and totallyyyy cracked up at the Latina butt competition part of this. Very true, and internships don’t do much for keeping us in shape (besides taking the stairs in the hospital??)
HAHA amazing, keep reading I love when people actually know what I’m talking about when I talk about crazy SoFla!!!
Yes yes squats! Heavy! and cable pull throughs and deadlifts and and weighted hip thrusts. I used to have NO butt. Actually, it was concave, no joke. Now after a few months of heavy weighted glute exercises it pops and is catching up to my bust (I’m a full C, some even proportion would be nice). And try walking lunges carrying dumbells! Hurts so good! Heavy weights makes a huge difference if you want to build the booty.
Oh HAVING a butt isn’t the issue here, it’s keeping it in control that I’m concerned with haha. Gotta lift the tush! The dumbbells make all the difference I swear
Haha so know what you mean with the language stuff.. I was a French major in college and thought I knew my stuff….till I arrived to study abroad in France!! Major wake up call. Sounds like a fun change of environment for your internship tho!!
In my head I’m like trying to think of all the verb conjugations, meanwhile they’re on the next topic haha
Can I just say that I’m CRAZY SUPER jealous that you can decide to spend the weekend in your pool or at the beach at the last minute. I am just happy that the sun finally came out here
It is pretty fabulous, I do not miss the cold weather one bit!
I am loving the Ecards in this post! I am a big fan of Annie’s Mac n Cheese. It’s about as healthy as it can be considering the convenience factor. And I need to join you with those squats. My bum needs some lifting too!
