My Hopes and Plans

Hello, and happy Monday blog world :)
I sure hope your Monday morning started off better than mine!
Nothing like cleaning explosive nugget puke out of Boone's crate at 6:30 AM.

Though I will say, I feel like I have accomplished a lot this morning since I was forced out of bed to attend to a sick dog and do his laundry - nice life he leads, huh?
I hope my little man starts feeling better soon!

Last weeks hopes and plans:

{1} Tighten up my eating routine a bit.  So far so good! Though I did have pizza last night for dinner as my cheat meal of the week. Hey, you only live once and I cannot eat healthy 24/7 or I would stray constantly.

{2} Go to the umbrella market and hopefully get some grass fed beef! Done, done, and done! So I didn't end up with grass fed beef but I ended up with grass fed sausage, mini cupcakes, some really good peach/habanero/basil jelly, and a picture frame. Yea, let's not talk about it. Also, Boone was great and I hope he had a blast walking around.

{3} Switch up my breakfast. Yes, I am either making eggs or overnight oats! Currently I am on an overnight oats kick. Recipe coming Wednesday! 

{4} Go pick up my books and parking permit for the semester. And what a sad day it was. Reminding me all about this upcoming semester. This is an easy semester for me and I am still dreading it...maybe because I don't like philosophy? Yea, definitely for that reason. 

This week/my last week of freedom hopes and plans: 

{1} Study, study, study: I take the NLN Pax this coming Saturday and I need to keep the studying up! Granted, some of it is sheer luck on whether or not you manage to get questions that you stand a better chance at knowing, but studying definitely helps you improve on what you are week on *cough* math *cough*. Cross your fingers I manage to do well enough that I do not have to take the Pax twice!

{2} Spend time with my lovely four legged creature that lives at the barn: Thankfully I am not as busy this coming semester because I have less classes, but I will also be working so I am going to take full advantage of this week (if the rain stays away) and ride my horse.

{3} As Daniel says: either sh*t or get off the pot: Let me explain. I have had this weird obsession with scarves and maxi skirts recently. The problem is 1) I am broke and 2) I am picky and am having a hard time finding what I like. I did find a scarf that I like (except it's always harder to tell online) and it's on sale for, oh 5 dollars, so I think I need to make a move. 

{4} Find some more HIIT workouts: Let me preface this by saying these workouts hurt like you know what. But you know what? I love them. I've only been doing two a week after my usual cardio workout (and I do yoga three days a week so...). Since I do a combination of things, I didn't want to give up what I already do so I just altered it and fit in HIIT workouts where I can. Now I just need to find a few to rotate. 

Do you have any hopes and plans for the week?
