hey friends :)

happy weekend! did you think i forgot about conclusions friday? well you were wrong if you did! i actually thought about it all day yesterday. and then i thought about how i would so much rather being typing up conclusions friday then working. and then dinner came along, and friends time came along and conclusions friday got bumped. so that’s my excuse and i’m stickin to it.

conclusion one. sometimes conclusions friday will have to come a day or two after friday but i’m still gonna call it conclusions friday or the day after the day it’s supposed to be

conclusion two.

P2153345

conclusion five. i believe it’s working. ::wink wink::

conclusion six. it’s pretty hard to eat and drive. it’s harder to eat, drive & take pictures of your food. it’s hardest to eat, drive, take pictures of your food, & bbm..

P2183361P2183362P2193363

conclusion seven. this is the first friday in a very long time that you will sadly not be seeing sushi pictures.

conclusion eight. if i play my cards right you could potentially see those pictures tomorrow.

conclusion nine. and no sushi tonight has nothing to do with me getting my mojo back. dates with deej don’t count as mojo moves.

conclusion ten. i’ve found a new favorite lunch.

P2203370 arnolds thin topped with 1/4 canned pumpkin+cin&stiv and 1/2c plus a little more of cottage cheese+cin&stiv

conclusion eleven. you will be seeing the above combo a lot. brace yourselves..

conclusion twelve. scoring swanky and chic nike white half zips from awesome bloggie giveaways is always fun…

 P2203367 

thanks ashley!

taking pictures of yourself in your bathroom mirror is not.

conclusion thirteen. the representation of vegetable pictures in this post has not been equivalent to the amount i’ve been consuming..

P2203371 P2183357 P2163347

conclusion fourteen. beano is my new best friend.

conclusion fifteen.  you guys are amazing. i know i know my last conclusion should be that i shouldn’t be a sap. but for real the response to my weight loss story post was over the top ridiculously heartwarming and totally left me speechless. i can’t thank you enough for all of your support. we don’t know eachother but we know eachother and in my heart i know that’s equally the same thing if that at all makes sense. so i just wanted to say thank you from the way bottom twenty thousand leagues under the sea of my heart. :)

please don’t enter this giveaway. it decreases my chances of winning this stellar swag bag

haha, I love conclusion Friday, always makes me laugh. My conclusion is don't eat Thai food the night before a long training run.... eep!

Gabriela said...

My conclusions for the week? Not eating sugar requires way more than willpower...it requires actually REMEMBERING what you gave up for Lent. I've almost eaten sweets several times before realizing I couldn't in the nick of time! And also, never depend on girlfriends who have broken your trust before :(

Have a great weekend girl!

Erica said...

You look slammmmin in that Nike zip- very very cute! A great win for sure. Must get maca. Your new favorite lunch looks awesome. Hope you get your sush on tonight. My conclusions- Teaching more than 7 classes a week is wayyyy too many. I cannot wait for spring & summer....I don't do cold- whats going on here Charleston? Baking makes me happy!

Joanne said...

Actually. We DO know each other. Which makes life all the more awesome.

A friday without sushi...is like a night without stars. Then again, I haven't had sushi in about two weeks. So who am I to talk.

That new favorite lunch of yours. Is going to have to become a new favorite lunch of mine. Seriously. Too good not to try.

Half zip=hotness!

Julie said...

my conclusions - Nice weather puts me in an insanely good mood, as does buying fun toys :)

lizzy said...

LOVE all your conclusions! and the white nike top! Maca powder is sooo good on everything! (why!??!) :) I hope you are having a fabulous weekend and are getting some delicious sushi!! xoxo!

Katie said...

Yay maca! I just got a bag yesterday and am SUPA PSYCHED to try it out. I like it on your apples! I'm going to try that asap... maybe with a little cin?

My conclusions: I need more swanky workout clothes. Like whoa. Also need to find a way to stretch out Sunday hours. Why the hell is it 5:30?

K from ksgoodeats said...

Please stop making me crave oat bran when I don't have any in my house. Thank you! KAY-UTE zip!! I think that will bring you some mojo. If not, we shall plan!

Thinspired said...

You look great in your new top! I love winning giveaways :)

Yes, eating + driving = difficult. Especially in a stick shift. Don't ask me how I know.

kaitcooks said...

my conclusion...a little sunshine goes a long way after weeks of rain!
That cottage cheese, pumpkin, sandwich concoction looks delicious!

Gina said...

This week's conclusions were that I hate my apartment complex!! I can't wait to move, and I will NOT stay here another year :)

So, taking pictures of food, and eating, while driving?! Shame on you! I used to eat while I was driving all the time, but never pictures, just texting ;) Bad.
I love the addition of strawberries and whey powder to your oats. That would be a GREAT after workout meal!You look great in that Nike gear to, strike a pose.
Glad you had a nice weekend Julie. Have a happy Monday!

Therese said...

I don't want to be caught on the roads around you eating, taking pics, texting. Tsk tsk! :)

OMG I cannot buy any tortillas, english muffins, etc with added fiber because I end up downing a bottle of beano...not fun!

elise said...
