For now, let me show you what my floor looks like pre-packing in my suitcase for my Costa Rican adventure which I leave for on Wednesday!!
Just lots of things.... everywhere...does (or do?) anyone else's bedroom floor look like this before a vacation?
I am bringing this dress which I will wear probably to my AUnt and Uncle's house on Friday night to the pre dinner. It is a denim Theory Dress I got this summer.
This dress to the wedding perhaps (it is a Costa Rican casual wedding) French Connection Black Satin Tube top dress. Still not sure about the dress though...
Question time: When you are going to the airport do you bring your meals or do you rely on airports to provide the food?
I ALWAYS bring food with me. We have a 7:30 am flight so I am brining breakfast. I will either make overnight oats the night before, OR bring some instant oats in a bag and when I get to the airport, add hot water...banana and some Justin's PB of course too :)
Ok Breakfast this morning, I didn't snap a shot of but, no worries you are not missing out, it was a typical oats and berries breakkie with peanut butter
I started the day with a 4.2 mile run on the treadmill. I love how the sun is rising earlier! Although I hate how it was dark today at 4:30! still it was nice to run, while watching the sunrise through the large glass windows.

I hit the gym for an AWESOME workout with my trainer. Every Monday I meet with him for a training session. I have been working with him for just under a year and I have seen such significant improvements in my strength, tone and body composition.
- Burpee squats while tossing medicine ball to him
- Step ups w/ a torso rotation
- rear delt raise
- lots of core work! (things i cannot even describe!)
- Biceps curl standing on the bosu using the rope pulley
- Jump Squats with a medicine ball toss
- AND MORE!!
- He's crazy but I <3 him!

Abby From Abbys Vegan Eats presented me with this AWESOME award, thank you so much Ab's you are such a sweetheart! o now, I have to share 7 things about myself…. please be patient as some of these might be repetitive!!!
- When I am up early I love watching the sunrise.
- When I was younger I wanted to be Mariah Carey. I do sing and have a pretty decent voice but when I was younger I was a bit beyond obsessed with her.
- I am such a homebody, at 23 years old, I would prefer to stay in and watch a movie, go to bed early then go to a bar and get drunk
- I wish I had the willpower to be a vegetarian but I don't think I could do it!
- I was born a few hours before April fools day and quite Happy about it!
- When I tell an adolescent boy my Name, this their response "Haha, thats I-Moan backwards" I really wish my name spelled something else backward!
- I love bad 80's music like REO speed wagon, The Fixx, The Outfield, Pat Benetar...
Now I must pass this onto 7 more bloggies!
