I’ve had “write blog post” on my to-do list for over a week now, but every time I sit to write…nothing comes out. I seriously do not know how all you 3-5 blog posts per week bloggers do it! It takes me forever to write a post.
I feel like I have stuff I want to chat about, but my brain keeps jumping around from one thing to another, without forming a cohesive thought.
I’m gonna try to get through this post and hopefully it will make some kind of sense when I’m done. Well, hopefully it will make some kind of sense once I edit it for the millionth time. 😛

It’s Monday! Yay!!
I know…who likes Mondays?! Technically, I don’t love them, but since I don’t work outside the house, the weekdays are when I get schtuff done and the weekends are spent hanging with the kids (and the hubs of course). I am fond of the weekends (hello no alarm clocks and no schedule!), but the weekdays (aside from getting up early and making lunches) are my JAM! Yeah, I just said “jam”. Does it read as awkward as it sounds when I say it? lol.
Anywho, like I was saying… yay for Monday!
This week I’m starting week 3 of a new workout program. Woot woot!! Look who’s back on the workout wagon!! I’m excited to have a streak going. I didn’t want to mention it sooner because I suck at following through on things, but I’m feeling good about this one. The workouts are challenging, but other than some burpees here and there, I like all the exercises. It’s only been 2 weeks and I haven’t been nearly good enough with my nutrition, but I can already feel and see my body responding to the workouts.
P.S. Normally I look like a total schlub at the gym, but I had been out to breakfast that morning so I actually looked decent at the gym. Until I started sweating.

Remember when I mentioned that I wanted to purge my closet and try to do a capsule wardrobe? Well, I started planning and got off to a great start, but then I got kinda stuck. I realized that 80-90% of the time, I’m wearing some kind of combination of jeans/tee/shoes. Here’s what a weeks worth of clothes would look like if I wasn’t going anywhere special (i.e. lunch with friend, date night, etc)
Monday: workout clothes + jeans/tee/tennies (visited family member in hospital)
Tuesday: workout clothes
Wednesday: jeans, t-shirt, flip flops or TOMS (house chores + errands)
Thursday: workout clothes
Friday: workout clothes
Saturday: jeans, t-shirt, Sperry’s
Sunday: jeans, t-shirt, flops
Ugh. Seriously? How am I supposed to plan a capsule wardrobe around THAT?! That’s why I’m concentrating on honing my “style” and recognizing what I feel most comfortable in while purging my closet of items that don’t fit into that style.
Speaking of style, can I just have one of everything from Madewell?
No?
Okay, what about just these 4 items?
Unfortunately, along with my new workout program, not only did I cut my added sugar intake, but I also put myself on a bit of a spending freeze. Yes, I’ve gone completely and utterly…MAD!! It’s for a good cause though. The teen and I have the opportunity to go to Italy with her vocal class in March so I’m doing my part by curbing the excess spending. I have stayed away from the mall and the non-grocery side of Target for a few weeks now so that I’m not tempted, but over the weekend I took the kids to the mall so the teen could spend some of her birthday money. Surprisingly I didn’t find a ton that I would have bought, but if I was buying, this purse might have come home with me! You know, because I neeeeeed another purse. 😛
Seriously though, how cute is this Jessica Simpson purse?! Plus, it was on sale for $73ish and then 40% off on top of that. And look at the leopard print insert that it came with! Ahhhh! It was difficult, but I did actually refrain from purchasing.

K, I think that might be all I have to babble about today. Sorry about the rambling Monday post. Hopefully my brain will get it together soon and I can actually write a non-rambling post.
Hope everyone has a great week!
