Today is one of those days that I am lacking some motivation. I am trying to be really healthy in everything I eat/do, but it's getting harder & harder everyday. Anyone else ever have those days?
So today is a "motivation" edition of my LAST THINGS (so I can KEEP my butt in gear)!!
The Last Thing I...
{Motivation Edition}
Worked-Out On:
Jogged 3.0 Miles on the treadmill yesterday. That is HUGE for me. I hate running.
Wanted to Buy When I Get My Legs TONED:
These shorts from Romwe. Ohhhh ya...my legs are gonna look awesome in these! :)
Bought That Was Healthy:
Odwalla Drinks. Love these. Usually I'll make a Green Drink, but if I'm on the go..these work great!
THIS is my go-to-smoothie if you want the recipe :)
Bought That Was Not-So Healthy:
(hey I can't live solely on green drinks)
Choc. Chip Cookie from Chick-Fil-A. Have you ever had one of those? Yesterday was my first one ever (I am not a huge Chick-Fil-A fan)..but OMG!! AMAZING.
Pinned for Motivation:
Eating 5 times a day is the easiest way for me to keep my weight down.
This chart makes it so easy for me to REMEMBER to eat 5x a day.
Got that motivated me:
A text from my friend Jamie (who's trying to be healthier too).
"It might be hard right now, Jenna. You might want to quit and give up, and go back to your old ways. Push through...because YOU CAN.
Love that girl!!

Ive been doing the 5 meals Every day for a long time and love it! And I would seriously to to win one of your bracelets!! Ummm....so I can wear it in an outfit post!!
ReplyDeleteI freakin love those shorts, esp the blue ones with the pink polka dots. Too bad it's FREEZIN in NY. But, I guess that means I could wear them with tights and not have to worry about flashing my white legs.
ReplyDeleteI don't see the link up link...? Am I missing something? :P
ReplyDeleteLove the short, too!
Oh, now I see it! But it is not working. :(
ReplyDeleteI will try in a bit.
I'm getting back on track with health and fitness. Thanks for this motivation! :)
ReplyDeleteGet it giiirl! You can do it :)
ReplyDeleteJust think about those super cute shorts!
Good motivation lol!
Happy Thursday!
xo
Totally missed out on today...I need to link up soon...I keep saying I am.
ReplyDeleteFirst off...don't be so hard on yourself. I find that every time I try too, too hard I actually end up gaining weight for some reason. When I try to things in moderation and make exercise and 1 cookie instead of, oh 6 cookies a priority, everything seems to work out.
Plus, you're gorgeous!
I want those shorts and that skirt! I need to get on the healthier lifestyle bandwagon!
ReplyDeletei love those shorts & skirt. this is such an awesome idea to keep yourself in shape. love it. xo.
ReplyDeletewell I FOR SURE want to win one of your beautiful creations! Is the 13 things linkup an all week thing? Because I posted on our anniversary today :) Love ya girl!
ReplyDeleteI've never had those cookies but I want too now. We don't have Chick-Fil-A here though :(

I'm obsessed with those lace shorts - ah, love it! Have a great day :)
ReplyDeleteLinking up for the 6th week..... Muah!!!
ReplyDeletelove those shorts. so excited for shorts weather to be upon us!
ReplyDeletebtw - you're motivation post totally "motivated" me to get off my bum and do some yoga. I even got the hubby to do it with me. I got an extra ab workout with all the laughing at him I did hah
ReplyDeleteI love those shorts! And I'm super impressed with your running (I'm proud when I survive running one mile). And I SO WANT TO WIN A BRACELET!! Are you doing the same thing next week?? BECAUSE I WILL START MY LIST NOW!!! (Can you tell I really want a bracelet?).
ReplyDeleteThose shorts- so cute! And yes, small meals and not eating too late help me too!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first week that I have linked up and I can say that I had a lot of fun! Great idea! PS. Those shorts are rockin'!
ReplyDeletePlease send some of that motivation my way! Which odwalla flavor is the best? Or which should I try first? I've looked at them but never know which to pick ha - aaaaand I cannot wait for your shop to open!!
ReplyDeleteI think staying healthy is so hard. I'm working so much right now that everything else (cooking dinner, doing yoga, RELAXING...) seems to have gone out the window. So when I go for a bike ride (like yesterday) or eat grilled chicken, I feel like it's a major acomplishment. Baby steps. Baby steps.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week of baby steps:)
Love the polka-dotted skirt!!
ReplyDelete&& way to go with the fitness regime - I've been slowly getting back into mine, but I really need to step up my game :)
Hey! Saw the link up on Chasing Sunshine and I ALWAYS like to give a shout out to the Jenna's I find online {there used to be so few of us}! So Hey Jenna, have a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteFun! Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteSo doing this next Thursday!! LOVE this idea!
ReplyDeletethose lace shorts are so cute!
ReplyDeleteI linked up! Hope you like it :)
ReplyDeleteI really heart those lacy shorts. Those would be motivating to ANYone. :) And Odwalla drinks! I like them because they're so much like Naked, but cheaper. Sometimes a LOT cheaper.
ReplyDeleteGood job running too. I'm not a fan either but there just doesn't seem to be a good replacement for it does there. ;)
