This is your brain during the week before finals:
Why yes, that’s a deep fried twinkie.
I’m desperate to do anything but study right now and the anticipation of starting with my trainer next week is killing me, so I’m officially procrastinating with these random pics from the past few days–both from Instagram and just hodge-podgin around. 
~~~~
So what’ve I been up to?
Sippin sweet potato/spinach/peanut butter protein shakes
~~~~
Visiting my Grandma for family night at her assisted living…and seeing Elvis…
~~~~
Baking DELICIOUS protein bars with a studly older man named Bob
(Alexis, now I know why you raved about these bars!)
~~~~
Practicing pullup and chin up variations
(props to my study buddy Ayesha for takin this, i never realized how freaky backs look when you do a pullup haha)
~~~~
Grillin up ostrich steaks
(they’re out of this world amazing, i’m shocked at the deliciousness)
~~~~
Eating healthified cookie dough
(Stuft Mama’s pumpkin protein cookie dough! I left out the oats, subbed sunflower seeds and sunflower seed butter, and froze it for 30 minutes. DUDE where has this been my whole life)
~~~~
Coming close to kidnapping an adorable wild kitten on the way to my last microbio lab
~~~~
Reading Bible verses and taking time for God
~~~~
Well I guess that pretty much sums it up…I wish the 9th would get here already!

I do a lot of barbell rows, chin ups and t bar rows, but nothing really out of the norm haha Thanks so much for the compliment!
I can remember what it feels like to be so close to being done- hang in there only a few more days!!
This isn’t my favorite fruit, but the hubby picked up some Mandarins the other day at the store and they are sooo good- def my favorite right now!!

Procrastinating by baking and doing pull-ups sounds good to me
My favorite summer fruits are basically all of them but I especially love raspberries and watermelon!
Good luck with finals, I know you’ll rock them!
I wish I could do a pull- up. I guess a good goal? Ha! Good luck on exams. Also, ostrich steaks…what?!? So interesting. My favorite summer fruit, watermelon for sure.
Daaaaang – look at those muscles! Your traps are showing.
Haha, backs DO look weird when doing any back exercises…good thing we don’t have to check out our own backs on a regular basis ;D And Bob sure is one studly old dude, he’s hanging out around my kitchen all the time, and I certainly won’t complain.
wow–awesome pull-up picture! how can you choose a favorite summer fruit??? umm ummmmmm…..strawberries, no blueberries, no watermelon…I DON’T KNOW
love baking with my main man Bob haha! He’s the best. Just found you through instagram, excited to read more of your blog!

Haha,I’m procrastinating too right now! Last written final tomorrow and I’m doing anything but studying… Oops!
That kitten is so cute,I guess I would’ve skipped classes and taken it home. I know,I’m a bad student.
And uuuhm,my favorite summer fruits are all kinds of berries!
I have blackberries in my garden,by the way.
Oh my gosh!! Blackberries in your garden?! I’m coming over haha
Holy muscles in your back woman! Yayyyy for pullups, I am impressed as I can only do 1.5… on a good day haha
And what a cute kitten! I probably would have stolen him/her, oops did I just say that out loud
Good luck with dem examssss
AHHHH that kitty is soooooo adorable!!!!
Lovin that pullups, get it girl. I can’t even do one yet (unassisted), but working at it!
Oh boy that kitten is adorable! I have a tendency to meet up with cats when Im out walking on the street. I guess they like me? Thos protein bars look amazing, I really want to make some of my own. Your smoothies look incredible, I got to try making a smoothie with sweet potato
…..ummmm YO BACK IS RIDICULOUS!!!! I know you’re crazy excited about getting to work with the trainer but I have to say you’ve been doing some incredible work on your own there!! I also love your lime green top lol. ANd your grandma is so cute!!! Ostrich steaks look fun, my dad ate ostrich when he went to South Africa for business – this was when I was about six and I thought eating ostrich was like the craaaaaziest thing in the world hahha. GOOD LUCKKKKK studying for the rest of your finals!!! freeedom is just around the corner!!!! And my favorite summer fruit….um all of them? I’m particularly partial to strawberries, pineapple, and watermelon. One time I ate half a large watermelon all by myself in the span of about an hour, my stomach totes loved me after that hahaha.
Whoa you’re a watermelon beast! You must’ve had to pee like crazy after that hahaha
how many protein bars is there in that large square?
I cut 6, but I’m sure you could make them smaller if you wanted!
Holy back muscles…looking good, girl! Good luck with exams! Strawberries (or any berries) are my favorite summer fruit…oh and peaches with vanilla yogurt! Yum yum!
Thanks girl!!! Oh man how can I forget strawberries! Mmmm
