Niki's Neverending Adventure

The question on everyone’s mind around here is, are we gonna get snow or ice tonight and tomorrow?? Either way, my class for tomorrow already got cancelled!! Yay!! So it’s a snow day for me!! I love unexpected days off!! Not sure what I’m going to do, all I know is I get to sleep in until whenever I want! The 5 o’clock club will not be happening for me tomorrow!! It will just be pushed back a few hours :)

I had a good speed workout today. I decided to do 400m repeats on the treadmill. Here’s how it went:

• 1 mile warm-up
• 10X400 with 1 minute recovery
• 0.3 mile cool down
• Total: 5 miles

I pushed it a bit harder this week than I did last week and it felt awesome! Nothing else really exciting to report about it! I actually look forward to my Thursday speed days! Sometimes it just feel great to really run hard!

I have been slacking this week on Whittle My Middle 2. I am just getting a bit bored with it. Good thing this is the last week!!

Lunch was a leftover repeat from yesterday. The combo was just so good I had to have it again!!

Buffalo Chicken Chili with a little mozzarella cheese and a dollop of light sour cream.

With the last small slice of Quick Cornbread, some cucs, and a few tortilla chips. Lunch was AMAZINGLY good!!

My afternoon snack was eaten in class today.

I tried out the PB&J Larabar and loved it! I will definitely be buying this flavor again!!

I didn’t get home until about 6:30pm from class so I needed something quick to throw together for dinner. A Tuna Melt and tomato soup it was!!

For my tuna, I mixed together some chunk light tuna in water, ~1 tsp mayo, a few dashes of lemon juice, s&p, chopped onion, and some cooked, chopped spinach. I don’t like a lot of mayo in my tuna so I just use a tiny bit.

I put it on a sandwich thin, topped with a slice of Swiss cheese, and stuck it on the stovetop to brown up and melt the cheese.

A bowl on top to smush the sandwich to make it “Panini style”!!

I got it a little done, but it still tasted fine!!

Mmm look at that cheesy tuna goodness!!

With some Amy’s Chunky tomato soup with oyster crackers.

I also snacked on a few of these as I made dinner. These chips are so addicting!!

I am having a relaxing evening tonight, watching The Notebook. It is my ALL TIME favorite movie. Seriously, I don’t think anything will ever compare. I think I love it so much because I feel like their love story is very similar to me and the fiancé’s! I have felt this way since I saw this movie on day one! Their connection is just so similar to ours and the passion is also the same! We are just so crazy about each other! That’s why the movie drags me in every time!! Favorite scene:

• Allie: Noah, why didn’t you write me?
• Noah: I wrote you every day for a year.
• Noah: It wasn’t over for me, IT STILL ISN’T OVER!!
• Best kissing scene in a movie! Period.

What’s your favorite movie? Is there a specific movie you really relate to or is very similar to your life?

Well guys, I’m heading to the couch to cuddle my girl Sadie and finish watching this movie. I hope everyone has a great night and for those in Memphis, I hope y’all get a snow day tomorrow too!! Good night!!
