Retail Therapy

     I love shopping. Heck, I'm such a girl. Going to the mall and buying clothes and makeup usually means that that day was a good day. I took the bus to the local mall after my rehearsal this morning. Victoria's Secret had kindly sent me a voucher for a free panty, and my Quest bar stash was running a little low...plus it seemed like a good opportunity to get off campus and finally use my free bus pass!

 
      Little did I know that VS was having a 7/$26 panty sale today! I didn't have any intentions on getting more than one panty (and for free, none the less) but hey...that's a pretty good deal. I decided to treat myself and celebrate it as an accomplishment, as I've gone from size medium to small in VS underwear. WINNING!! :D :D :D

And that's my health tip I wish to pass on to you today..do whatever it takes for you stay motivated and accomplish your goals. For me, its the happiness that comes with buying smaller underwear. Find you happiness and keep striving towards your goals.

Today's protein shake was really basic. I used a sample of BSN's Syntha 6 I got in my latest Bodybuilding.com order for my protein powder. The flavor I got was Vanilla Ice Cream - and did it taste like ice cream. Easily one of the best tasting proteins I've ever had. However, I didn't especially care for the nutrition. 200 calories, 22g protien, 15 g carbs, 6 g fat, and a lot of ingredients :/ Not a powder I would use everyday, but it sure does taste good!

Vanilla Ice Cream Shake
- 1/2 c unsweetned vanilla almond milk
- 1/2 c 2% cottage cheese
- 1 scoop Syntha 6 Vanilla Ice Cream flavor
- pinch of stevia
- 4 ice cubes
Blend and drink!

Today's workout was just twenty minutes on the stairmaster at moderate intensity; a bit of recovery from the fun leg day I had yesterday :)
