Got a touch of the Monday blues this morning, but it’s just a minor case.
A low, loose ponytail (with a headband)
No, not really, but I would like to get back in killer running shape and finally get at least a few pieces of new furniture for the condo. I’d love to sneak in a weekend trip to Tahoe at some point, and maybe another one to San Diego if it works out.
Two slices of whole wheat toast with a generous layer of — wait for it — Nutella!
Nothing yet, but I set aside the Clarins Instant Sun Light Eye Quartet & Liner Palette and Smooth Compact Highlighter for my makeup today.
Turning down the opportunity to go to law school. Deep down inside I knew it wasn’t right for me, and I’ve never rarely looked back.
My sense of humor (I guess I should have started this one with a joke) 🙂
I told myself that if I meet my goals this week I can swing by Anthropologie on Friday to pick up this dress as a reward. LOL! Sometimes maintaining a positive attitude requires mental slight of hand (or straight-up bribery).
I’m still in my jammies — dark gray yoga pants, a white tank top and a blue zip-up sweatshirt
Keep checking tasks off my to-do list (I really want that dress!), get better about stretching every day, complete the 30 Day Shred at least three times, and drink a big glass of water first thing every morning (fitness experts say, among water’s many other benefits, it’s also a good source of energy).
What’s up, girls? I’m loaded up on allergy meds (thank ye gods for Zyrtec and Flonase!) and ready for anything nature throws at me!
Let me know how you’re doing. If you’re new to the Monday Poll, it takes just a minute. Just copy the following list, and paste it with your answers in the comments. 🙂

Hi Rachael,
Sorry to hear Indie has fleas. On the bright side, at least the poor thing doesn’t have worms. Tabs went through that a few months and it was AWFUL.
Anywho, good luck studying and I hope you get everything you need to get done in time.
You’re right. Worms would be much worse.

I only get a half hour for lunch and it’s super early at 11:30, so I decided to take on the stairs at work, the building has 16 flights!

I can’t seem to get motivated to work out at home, I have Exercise TV on Demand, a Wii Fit and a rowing machine and I can’t get my lazy butt to work out, plus I get bored so easily with routine 🙁 I’ve been doing the stairs at work for 2 weeks and still not bored, go me!!!

Happy Monday Karen!! <–I wish I could actually feel that excited about Monday.

2. Hair: Loose-ish fishtail braid to the side…that is now falling out…womp womp.

4. What’s the last thing you’ve eaten? The manfriend had the day off work and was taking me out for lunch so I treated myself to chicken shwarma with rice and salad (half of which is sitting in a take-out container waiting to be eaten when I get home) Yum ïŠ.
5. Eyes/lips/cheeks: Liquid black liner/Maybelline Pink Please lipstick with NARS Turkish Delight gloss/NARS Torrid blush
6. What’s one of the best things that’s ever happened to you? I thought it would much be easier to answer this. Would have to say living at home while attending university vs. living on campus or moving in with friends. As dorky as it sounds, most of my friends made some really bad choices when living away from home. I was able to stay grounded while going through a very important stage of life because I had my family watching over me.
7. What’s a quality you like about yourself? I love to laugh! Not just the chuckling under your breath kind of laughs…the laugh that makes you cry and fall of your chair because you’re going to pee your pants kinda laugh! Although…I don’t suppose that’s so much a quality as a…thing. Regardless, if you think you’re not funny, just hang out with me. I’ll laugh at your jokes.

Hey Karen,
How often do u take the allergy meds? Have u ever tried herbal/natural products instead? I used 2 be on the same allergy meds but 4 a different reason, i was taking them daily for over 6months and only after i stopped taking them and saw my naturopath i found out u really shouldnt take them 4 long periods of time they r pretty bad, they basically shut off my whole histamine-response system which is not good, that led 2 me having terrible sinus problems and also feeling like i had bricks on my chest all the time, which i found out is cos that system is all related 2 ur adrenal system and when it supresses that u can get problems like mine and more…its taken me 3yrs so far 2 get my system back up and running, so i always try and reccommend ppl 2 take the natural products instead and there is plenty of good ones u can take, i also suggest EVERYONE try a naturopath b4 their doc as they look at how 2 fix the whole system with the problem and getting ur system back up 2 tiptop condition, rather than giving meds 2 block problems…
Anyways hope this helps
