Keep on Going

I was getting so much better at being motivated to do things after work. In fact, I even worked out BEFORE work a few times. What?! Crazy. Alas, I feel that I'm going back to my old ways...I think I've even gained some weight back, sigh. Maybe I need to find a class to go to to keep my motivation up. I'm thinking Zumba and Yoga. I do enjoy both of those a lot. I've also heard good things about Cardio Barre/the Barre Method. Thoughts? 

I need your guys's opinion on something. Do you think it's weird that I have a Tumblr and a blog? I mean, they're both blogs...but they are slightly different. I use my tumblr mostly to look at other people's tumblrs and to re-blog pictures. Do I keep both? Do I pick one? Can I combine them? What do you guys think? 

Hope you had a fantastic day! 

Getting Motivated!

For all of those working girls out there (guys are welcome to give advice too, of course), how do you get motivated to do things after work? 

I'm finding it hard to get motivated to cook, clean, go grocery shopping, work out, etc. after work. Ok, ok, sometimes I cook and I do clean a lot, but other than that, I relax, watch TV, and read. I really need to get back on track with my work outs though. I'm starting to notice that some pants are fitting a little tighter. I'm sure it's not noticeable, but I notice, and that's all that really matters. 

Anyway, how do you guys get motivated to do things after work? I really need to figure it out 

and get my butt into gear!  Maybe I just need to give myself some more time to get used to the job/my schedule. But hopefully I will snap out of this just relaxing thing soon and actually get some more stuff done after work. That's the goal anyway.

Happy Wednesday Friends!

Lazy Sunday Afternoon

Other than the car incident and some stress at work, this week wasn't so bad. The good news is, I made it through! I'm still trying to figure out this whole work and play balance. For example, I think of all of these great recipes and stuff to cook, but once I get home I have NO motivation. Any tips, tricks, or advice? And no, it's not because I don't like to cook, in fact, I'm learning that I can quite enjoy it.

Yesterday was Cinco de Mayo, or as I call it, Cinco de Drinko. Tyler had to work til about 6, then it was off to his sister's boyfriend's housewarming. Since it was Cinco de Mayo, I thought I should wear something, cute and colorful. I wore a royal blue frilly tank (Forever 21 a few years ago), coral shorts (American Eagle), black flip flops with gold trim (Love Culture), black earrings with colorful flowers (Forever 21 a few years ago).

Today is kind of a lazy day for me. Tyler's at work, so I ran some errands and did some cleaning, but now, I'm just sitting on the couch catching up on some TV. Delightful.

What are you all up to on this beautiful Sunday?

Any tips, tricks, or advice on how to get motivated to cook once I get home from work? 

Happy Sunday Friends :)

Parents are coming!

   Well, as the title says, my parents are coming for a visit tomorrow! This is my dad's first time to Europe...I was going to say out of the country, but I think he's been to Canada (lol). I'm pretty excited. :)
I got the spare room all nice and ready for them. I can't wait to start traveling all over Germany with them...should be a good time.
   In other news, Tyler has to leave to go to the field for training in a few days. Bummer; But at least my parents will be here for some of it.

   Also, I want to apologize for my accidental blog hiatus. I just, well, I've been getting things ready, and honestly haven't been that inspired to write. Not sure why, I just haven't. It happens to us all I guess. Hmm...maybe we could call this unforeseen hiatus writer's block...haha. Well, whatever it is, I hope I kick it soon. I miss writing. I guess I just need to get inspired!

   Safe travels parents...see you in the morning! :) Happy Hump day everyone.

Motivation

   Yesterday I got in a great hour workout, just cardio, but still good. It's really what I need. I was so proud of myself. I hadn't really worked out in awhile do to the cold/allergy thing and all. I mean, I tried to take walks, but that would even tire me out and/or make me cough. Finally I could do it without getting super tired or coughing. woot!
   I haven't been really inspired to blog lately, not really sure why...just not in the mood. I feel as if I have nothing to write about at the moment, that, and no one really reads this anyway so why bother? But it shouldn't matter how many people read this, I should just do this because I want to. Thus, I will keep going.
   I've been so lazy ever since I've gotten back from the states, well, yesterday I did clean a lot and get a workout in (our apartment looks greats btw :p), but I ended up falling asleep on the couch at like 6 for like 30 minutes or so. Haha.

Then I couldn't get to sleep til like after 2 am. ugh. And to make matters worse, I kept snacking.
Oye. Snacking late as night is terrible for you. What's wrong with me? I need more motivation or something. ha.

    As the picture above says, today, I'm trying to stay motivated. I did sleep longer than intended and have had a lazy morning, but hopefully the afternoon will bring better results. I also need to stop watching True Blood.

It's one of those shows that's kinda bad, but you have to keep watching and I'm addicted haha. 

How's everyone else doing today? How do you stay motivated?
