The Weather's Changing...

Ooohhhhh sadly, the weather here in Eastern North Carolina has begun to get cooler!  In the mornings and nights I'm freezing, BUT there are a few hours in the afternoon that are actually quite nice!  I hate the cold though.  I hate having to bundle up just to still be cold!!  I also hate that my hands shrink in the cold and my rings are too big!  Oh yeah, and I'm short.  Therefore, all of my jeans are too long and they look awful with any shoe that isn't a heel.  It's easy to be fashionable in the winter with boots, fall colors, jackets, scarves, hats, etc., but I mean really?!  I don't want to do that EVERYday!  I do love the warmer part of fall though :)  perfection.......

Today my dad came up to Greenville to speak with one of my awesome professors-Dr. Beracha.  He is very knowledgeable and does research in real estate.  I love his class!!  Overall, school is getting a bit monotonous and, simply put, I can't wait to graduate!  Although I am hoping to find out soon if I got into Graduate school which would start in the Spring.  It's not much time off, but I would feel some sort of accomplishment. 

So I didn't get the chance to workout today because of my dad coming into town, but I think that is a blessing!  I took this day to rest.  My chest is so sore from yesterday and my legs are still sore!  Tomorrow though, is shoulders!  Of course, I will post my workout tomorrow for those interested :)  Oh by the way, I made the most amazing protein snack!!  I probably wouldn't recommend it for those of you not working out, but here's the recipe-

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup natural peanut butter
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 scoop Chocolate Whey protein powder
• 3 tbsp ground flax
• 3 tbsp dark chocolate chips

Instructions:
Mix together all the ingredients. Should be the consistency of play dough. Roll into small balls. Refrigerate to firm them up; overnight for best results. Enjoy!

Mmmm they are so good!  I'm going to double the recipe next time because I have a feeling I'm going to go through them pretty quickly!

Much love,
