Oh, How Pinteresting..

So since I missed my most favorite link up of the week last week, I had to catch up with it this week. Y'all know I love me some pinterest and you know that if you follow me. If you don't, well you should! --->

I am linking up with my lovie Michelle and you should too. Her blog is super cute and she always gives me a good laugh! 

Oh, how pinteresting: Southern Edition

This is pretty much how I see the United States. Down here in the South, we hold doors, y'all!

It's just a good 'ole Southern rivalry. No one really knows how it came to be or even why, we just know that's the way it is. GA-FLA is the most sacred of all Georgia football games. We never question it.

 GOOOO Dawgs!

Pearls go with anything and every girl has at least one pair of pearl earrings.

We love a monogrammed anything and mason jars aren't just used for canning foods.

 Actually, they might just be the best only way to drink sweet tea.

We all think Luke Bryan was made just for us. He has a real good money maker...and his face isn't half bad either! ;)

Truth.  I mean how many times do you think you would hear "Bless your heart" if you lived in New York? Probably not ever. So sad. Bless their hearts.

It's not uncommon to hear this at least 10 times a day! 

What is pinteresting to you? 

Happy Wednesday! It's already the middle of the week and you're still alive, see? 

Miscellany Monday

Linking up with Carissa for the first time today. It's called Miscellany Monday. Maybe you have heard of it? 

Anyways...

{one}

I did so much laundry today that I think I either need to stop buying clothes or get a maid. Since the first isn't going to happen, who wants to start a "get Ashley a maid" fund? I just need one ok?

{two}

I am beyond frustrated with myself when it comes to academics this semester. I seem to be losing steam and fast. I mean I'm not failing or anything (if you know me, you know that would NEVER happen- Type A here) but I feel like I could be doing more. I'm only a senior in college once, right? I guess I should do it right. 

{three} 

My weekend consisted of a whole lotta nothing. I exercised a lot, worked a little, shopped a lot little and just relaxed. Don't you wish I was one of those bloggers who had crazy good stories for you on Mondays? Sorry...

{four} 

I have class all day tomorrow and it doesn't leave much time for working out, but I am considering skipping my night class so I can still go walk and not have to do it in the dark. Yay or nay? :)

{five}

I have been tweeting a lot lately. Sorry if you follow me and get annoyed. If you don't follow me, would ya so I can pretend like I am a cool kid with like 100 followers? 

{six} 

I want to host a blog giveaway, but I need to make it to a milestone before I do so. (That's what all the serious bloggers do) so I need help getting to 50-75 followers guys! If you are here and haven't followed me or commented, I would love to know! I have some great ideas...it may or may not involve things I secretly want for myself! 

Go link up with Carissa at lowercase letters

Toodles!

Sunday Funday aka Monday won't be able to move day.

Sunday. I love it and it hate it. I love it because its obvs still the weekend and I have the whole day to do nothing but chillax...and maybe some homework and lifetime watching! I hate it because its one day before Monday and the beginning of the week. yuck if you ask me. I bet you ALL have the same thoughts, huh?

Well today was no different for me. I slept a little later today than I have been lately. You would be amazed at how being in bed earlier makes you wake up in time for Live with Kelly on the weekdays! Today I slept until like 10. No biggie! 

I laid around for a little bit then about 12 I started feeling like a bum so I forced myself to get up and workout. I walked 2 miles then tanned. When I got home, I did some seriously intense leg and arm workouts that I am sure to be paying for tomorrow. Well worth it though I hope!

I think if I'm not dead and I wake up tomorrow, I may just stick with these simple exercises because they are so easy and I can do them from home. Don't let the comfy sound fool you. They are legit. 

I will continue my walking everyday and tanning then add these to the mix and hopefully be the next Jessica Biel. 

Ok, not really....but a smaller version my Ashley!

Tomorrow will be a week since I started this whole thing so when I get on that scale tomorrow morning I hope to see some progress in the opposite direction, if you know what I mean!

I will be sure to let you know if I am going to keep it up or drown my sorrows in a carton bowl of ice cream. Rocky Road, please!

Happy Sunday night lovies! I hope the start of your week goes smoothly. Just think, only 4 days until the weekend!

oh and t-minus 28 days until Spring Break...in case you want to mark your calendars and help me remember, although I doubt I will forget! :)

A Challenge

Hola, como estas? Haha, just kidding! I only have to speak that on Tuesdays and Thursdays for an hour! 

Anyways, what is up chickadees?

I hope that Saturday treated you amazingly well! I worked all day. It was a good day though. I walked after work, hung out with the bestie, then tanned and now here I am! 

As you can see, nothing exciting in my life to report! 

So I have been in a blogging funk, I guess you could call it, lately. I know it is perfectly normal for bloggers to go through periods like that, so I feel like a "normal" blogger, for once! 

This week, I have started exercising and eating really healthy and drinking 

ONLY H2O. 

It got me to thinking....I should present a challenge to y'all. I know that sometimes its hard to do something you set out to do without a little encouragement and accountability from people around you. I have a good support system and pretty much everyone I work with is doing some kind of dieting regimen so we have a good system in place and it makes a world of difference! 

So I decided to challenge you to give up something or start doing more of something that you always swear you're going to do, but just never get around to. 

The hardest thing for me has been giving up my beloved diet coke, but actually I don't miss it really at this point, 6 days in. I have only consumed water and I honestly feel better about myself just for incorporating that little thing into my day. 

What's something you have been saying you needed or wanted to do, but just haven't done it yet? It could be something as small as going to bed 30 minutes earlier or something as big as running a 5K. Whatever it is, let's all do it together and be accountable to one another!

I would say that by mid-March, most resolutions have come to a halt, but if not, then good for you and keep up the good work. If so and you want to get back on the wagon, what better time than NOW to do it? If you keep saying "next week" or "tomorrow" you will never get started. Trust me, I am probably definitely guilty as charged! 

All I know is that it's easier to have someone to be accountable to you and vice versa when you are doing anything. I know for me, it's so much easier for me to exercise with someone than alone. I don't know if it makes me more fun or just forces me to do it so they don't think I'm the laziest bum on the planet, but whatever it is it works! 

What have you been saying you wanted or needed to do and just haven't gotten around to it? 

What better time than right now?

Think about it! We can do it together!
