Fortune Cookie Package

hi cuties!!

first I want to start this post by saying thank you SO much to everyone who has been so accepting of me in the blogging community! Seriously, I appreciate the comments/advice/support more than you may realize. It’s great and has made this sometimes difficult road sooo much easier/less stressful. :]

the rest of my weekend was pretty relaxing/uneventful & spent studying/chillin w/ friends/spendin’ quality time w/ the boy/enjoyin the unexpected beautiful weather!

Saturday it was super nice out so me n gar decided to go for a run outside. This was a big deal because I pretty much avoid running outdoors at all costs :-[. I know it’s bad…. but I’m such a sucker for the treadmill because I can flip through a magazine, listen to music, watch tv, etc. etc.

But this run was hands down the best run of my life. It was so freeing. I didn’t even think about stopping, I just thought about how beautiful everything was that surrounded me. Not to be super cheeseball, but I honestly almost got a little choked up because I felt so lucky to be running outside with the most amazing boy and just to feel so alive.

EATS 🙂

at some point on Saturday this bar was eaten

it was dark chocolate almond nugo bar and to be honest, I didn’t really like it. like a 5/10. It just wasn’t that good? but the nutritionals weren’t too shabby at all.

Saturday night dinner SUCKKKED. not even going to lie. for some reason whenever I eat my cafeteria’s plain grilled chicken breasts, I feel sick :-\ idk why. Nonetheless, I shot some pix!

my eats Sunday were soo standard & because I realized how boring I was, I didn’t even photograph them. But can you blame me- I am in college after all!! –> options = limited.

dinner was delicious though! after a sorority thannng i met my boyfriend at one of my fav quick restaurants.. COSI!

I got the Shanghai chicken salad, an apple, & whole wheat bread– soooo good

cosi was always a safe option when i was super restrictive but I would always order the lowest calorie salad (188) with a side soup that had like 100 calories and eat some carrots with it. I was proud of myself because this time I ate the whole piece of bread. I NEVER eat all the bread…ever. seriously.

on the way back, I stopped at Starbucks because my g-ma sent me a 25 $ gift card randomly!

got my fav– grande americano with a shot of sugar free hazelnut! yummmm. LOVVEE the holiday cups so much!

do you have a starbucks drink you always order? If so, what is it?

Monday has been a pretty typical monday. Started out with a yogurt mess that went unpictured because I was super rushed to eat it 😦 I met with my TA & she went over my paper and said it was good. I was relieved! I also drank my ensure around 11

Lunch was delicious… & still photographed despite it’s repetitiveness.

for a snack I had the key lime pie lara bar!

it was pretty good, but i’d give it like a 7/10 because I really LOVE my key lime pie and i was slightly disappointed at the lack of limeness in this bar.

dinner tonight was a really delicious salad from the cafeteria! it was contained spring mix, diced tomatoes, onions, carrots, red onions, mushrooms, hard boiled egg, feta cheese, chicken, & lite olive oil vinagrette dressing.. 🙂

tonight has been spent studying & drinking an ensure.

something excited happen. Now for all you bloggers in college, you know how exciting it is to get a package. I saw I had a package slip so I was super excited… I saw it was from my cousin who just got engaged. I opened it up & inside was a fortune cookie.

I naturally cracked open the cookie & read the fortune & it said…

“I am so fortunate to have you in my life. will you be my bride’s maid? Love, Carly”

I was so excited! i’ve never been a bride’s maid before 🙂

not to mention- it was SUCH a cute way to ask.

on another note- with the weight gain, i have seen an increase of about 1.5 pounds. while this makes me happy, there is still part of me that is resilient to gain. I don’t understand why! It makes me so mad. I know i need to gain weight, but yet I still have this weird mentality about it :-\

well i’m off to bed.. i need to catch up on some zzz’s. hope you have a great Tuesday!

xoxoxo,

Shelley♥
