The Last Thing Thursdays {#9}

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. 
Find this chart HERE.

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!!

  2. I 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.

  7. Totally missed out on today...I need to link up soon...I keep saying I am.

    First 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!

  19. Please 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!!

    ReplyDelete
  20. I 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.

    Hope you have a great week of baby steps:)

  21. Love the polka-dotted skirt!!

    && way to go with the fitness regime - I've been slowly getting back into mine, but I really need to step up my game :)

  24. I 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.

    Good job running too. I'm not a fan either but there just doesn't seem to be a good replacement for it does there. ;)
