Nothing and I mean nothing could complete my day like some Sushi and Hibachi. I'd show you a picture of the sushi but I already ate it! :) 

January 30, 2014

Anyone who knows me knows I'm a pretty predictable person. My day is almost the same day by day. So to let you in on the end of my day....it would be how excited I get to come home and put on comfy clothes! One of my favorite shirts because it's so comfortable is this one! :)

Have you ever watched a movie and wondered 'How did people act this way?' That's what happened to me tonight. At work we put on 'The Help' and I couldn't believe this is how the world use to be and how far we've come. In no way is our world perfect now but wow what an eye opener! 

January 28, 2014

I'm a big person of reminsencing. I have this hanging up in my bedroom. And always brings a smile to my face! 

January 27, 2014

Sometimes waking up to the perfect text message can make your day! 

January 26, 2014

I've been pretty down lately and wondering how I was gonna find something every day that puts a smile on my face and makes me happy. Unfortunately it comes at a difficult time but the thing that makes me happy today is actually witnessing a nurse that TRULY does care about actually listens to her residents. (She might kill me when she sees that I took her picture! Haha)

One of my favorite things I got MYSELF for Christmas was this Buddha candle. I've always had a thing for Buddha's. Haha 

January 24, 2014

Tonight I'm just happy to be laying low at home with a nice glass of wine.

January 23, 2014

I've been working at the nursing home for almost two years and have yet to make one of the lunches they throw for us because I am always working at my other job. Well today I decided to take a day for myself and make it! I had a great time meeting all the other workers from our sister nursing facilities. 

January 22, 2014

Even though I shouldn't eat chinese good because I get so sick afterwards. But I really enjoy the fortune cookies. Haha 

January 21, 2014

Everyone can use an extra out in your day! No matter where it comes from! I was able to go grocery shopping because I got out a little earlier! 

January 20, 2014

Gotta love breakfast with Friends! 

January 19, 2014

I love the little things in life. Heading outside and seeing your friend write you a note on your car! <3

January 18, 2014

It's always a happy time when you get to watch your friend get married to the love of her life 

January 17, 2014

Im not sure why but I'm obsessed with To-Do lists. Now most people dread them because they would rather relax and do nothing- don't get me wrong I love to relax but I feel so productive and accomplished when I'm organized and make a list! Ahhh the little things :)

January 16, 2014

Today I was so grateful to spend the time with a couple of my favorite elderly people and play blackjack! 🃏 

January 15, 2014

Ever since being diagnosed with a rare liver disease back in 2011 I've been a bigger advocate for organ donation. (I was already an organ donor but I learned a lot more about it from working at the DMV and from now having a progressive disease. Today I had the pleasure of meeting a liver transplant recipient and a guy that works for organ donation in Massachusetts. If you do some how come across my blog - I urge you to at least check out organ donation and educate yourself more! You never know you could save a life. 

January 14, 2014

Tonight is the first time I have been able to actually able to make a good home cooked meal! I never usually follow a specific recipe- I just like to add what I like. So in this case it was ground beef, onions, garlic, zucchini, squash, mushrooms and rice. 

January 13, 2013

So as tired as I have been lately, I need to push myself to make it to the gym (or stay up long enough to make it to the gym). So tonight after a nice chest workout I treated myself to a nice massage(chair). Might not be as good as the real thing but it'll do for now! 

January 12, 2014

Sometimes you need a reality check. And by reality check I mean..,.remember what it's like to be young! Remember what it's like you just have fun, have no responsibilities, laugh because the word peanut butter is funny! Well today I had such the opportunity! On my way back home I stopped by to watch my friends kids basketball game. Kids at 4&5 are still so innocent. I love it 

January 11, 2014

Nothing beats a weekend away with friends! 🎰 

January 10, 2014

One of my resolutions every year is to complete three things off my bucketlist! And tonight one randomly popped up, which was to witness a proposal. This is a terrible picture because I was not that close... But still cool to witness 

January 9, 2014

So many people have different ways of escaping and relaxing whether it be reading, massages, yoga, etc. My escape from the world happens to be the gym. Nothing makes a bad day better then strapping on some sneakers, putting my headphones in and just going for it! 😊💪

January 8, 2014

Nothing makes my day complete then coming home and being able to watch 'Friends' even after 10+ years of being off TV ....I still can't get enough! Either watching it on Nick at Nite or one of my 40 discs at home! 

January 7, 2014

So every new year I always get inspired to try new things! And I keep saying that I want to get back into drawing. And by drawing I mean doodling because I am no where's near an 'artist'. But when I was younger I use to love to draw and would always see these commercials and ads in magazines for drawing schools. So today I decided to try and draw the picture that's always in the magazines... Haha. It's a little uneven but that's what happens when your left handed and hug you paperwork hahaha

January 6, 2014

Sometimes you just need to take a second...step back...and look at the beautiful world that is around us.  I've always loved clouds...and how beautiful they can make the sky. This picture doesn't do justice as to how amazing the sky looked earlier while driving.  

January 5, 2014

So this past year was the first year I decided to compete in a bikini fitness competition. I was due to compete in June 2013 but two weeks out I needed emergency surgery to get my appendix removed. So I didn't actually compete until October 12 & 26. 

   Today starts my first day back to posing class and starting to get back on a 'diet'. The past few months I have been 'bulking' trying to gain muscle. Which was going very well until about Dec 16th when I injured my neck. I thought today would be the perfect time to take a progress picture, so in a year I can see how far (or not far) I have come. The picture on the left is my first competition Oct 12 and the picture on the right was today. (No posing or flexing obviously) 

January 4, 2014

I have been trying super hard to clean up my diet after spending the holidays eating every cookie and ring ding in sight! 😩 Although it tasted delicious at the time...shortly after I started feeling like poo! 💩 so I decided to slowly get back into trying to eat as healthy as possible! So tonight for my snack....I bring you Asparagus! 

January 3, 2014

Nothing's makes me happier then new socks. To me it's like walking on clouds ☁️. I don't normally buy high socks because I think they look stupid. But I love superheroes. The thing that stinks is I couldn't find Hulk socks! So I had to settle with green superman ones! Hahaha. Can't wait to sport these at the gym! 

January 2,2014

As much as I DESPISE cold weather...I try to look on the bright side. Today there was a state snow emergency with the first winter storm that is hitting the east coast. Although we haven't gotten hit that hard (yet) I will take advantage of any down time at the moment. And today....I did just that! I tried to be productive when I got home however, a Law and Order SVU marathon was on...so I actually got nothing accomplished....But boy was I was comfy :)  

January 1, 2014

People always say that the New Year is always a time for creating new resolutions, getting rid of the bad things that happened over the year, and creating a new YOU!  Well, I decided to give it a shot.  Every year my resolution is to cross three things off my bucketlist....And this year I'm going to try to do a blog o 365 days of Contentment mixed in with my passion for fitness (which makes me happy...haha best of both worlds). 

Now that we have entered 2014 - Its time to start another 365 pages in my book.  Add another 12 more chapters! haha...Today I had the pleasure of having Auntie and AJ time! AJ is my nephew and because I work so much I tend not to have a lot of time to hang out with him.  Today I didn't have to be at work until 3:30pm so I took the time to make some popcorn and watch a movie with this little guy! :-) What a wonderful start to my new year!
