Making It Happen

Happy Thursday! Or "Thirsty Thursday" as people call it... Water right? ;) LOL

Time is just flying by I cannot believe it is August 1. That means Aruba is right around the corner!! So I am really trying to get ready for that and work it at the gym. 

Tuesday was a busy day as my mom and I were heading into NYC on a 10:04 am train to meet my good friend Nicole, her sister Joanna and mom Martha for lunch. Nicole and I met at 3 years old during our dance days in Staten Island. We always try and get together during our winter and summer breaks. 

In order to get a workout in it meant setting the alarm for 5:45 and getting in and out of the gym for a quick yet efficient workout. That means interval training! I resorted to treadmill intervals for 25 mins and one of my Pinterest Tabata workouts. 


I ran through this 3x and called it a morning. Quick, but just as sweaty. 


I was proud I didn't make catching the train an excuse to not workout. I knew my lunch would be a little splurge so I wanted to go the extra step. 

We all met at The Counter in Times Square. Remember the one from Naples? So good! 


It was great catching up. Nicole has a blog too so it is fun to keep tabs on each other and discuss everything from our old dance days to our love for Lauren Conrad and The Hills. :) 


We parted ways and mom and I walked down to Macy's. I was glad to get some extra walking in, every little but helps! 


 
                   I can't wait! 

After about 2 hours we called it a day and caught the 3:27. Luckily, for my sake and the rest of the train, Penn Station has a Starbucks which meant it was perfect for bar time. :) 

As you can see, it is all about making it happen. Workouts, friendships, etc... Anything that is important to you means sometimes taking the extra step.

As of Lately...

I just got back from Florida! Here is what I've been up to otherwise... 

Listening to: Love Somebody 


And...


This is my favorite TSwift album!! Love every single song. 

Watching: The Hills reruns on MTV


Such a huge Lauren Conrad fan. :) 

Reading: Girls in White Dresses


So far so good. Relatable to issues 20 year olds face/fear. 

Excited for: Aruba 


Less than a month!! 

Workout Trend: Running and Tabata


Annoyed with: Unexplainable High Blood Sugars today :( 



Felt so lightheaded after running this morning and a 307 reading I couldn't go to yoga. 😔

Proud of: I said no to ice cream this past Tuesday night and passed on my favorite ice cream store in Florida! 
 
And..

That I got a quick workout in yesterday morning before heading to the airport. 

Willpower! 

Familiar Faces: Ran into high school friends at Starbucks, Caylie and Amanda. 


Caylie and I had Spanish together junior and senior year. This is us at the end of senior year in our favorite class. :) 

Goals: Being extra good this next month in prep for Aruba. Challenging workouts and as clean eating as possible.
