Hi collegiettes™!
It’s finally starting to feel like spring. I’m positive I haven’t seen the sun in about a week because of all the Sleepy Hollow-like weather, but today was gorgeous!
My boyfriend and I had plans to take advantage of this beautiful weather and head out to D.C. to see the cherry blossoms and hit up a museum. Not only were our date plans fun, but cheap, too! (Hello free D.C. museums!) Except, our plans fell through since he decided to lose his phone and sleep in until 4:00 p.m. In other words, I was stuck at home all day!
Though I’m not an outdoorsy kind of gal, I did have a yummy picnic plan to keep my healthy habits going strong for our date that included:
- Lunch: Turkey burger with avocado and tomato slices, cheddar cheese slice & lettuce on a whole wheat bun (450 cal.)
- Snack: Bag of popchips to split (200 cal.)
- Early dessert: Apple with Barney Butter (90 cal.)
Luckily, the burgers I made didn’t go to waste. I’ll pack it up for my lunch at work tomorrw so that I’m not tempted to order out with my coworkers!
I also had every intention of putting in some cardio time for my Jump Start Diet, but I was feeling a little lazy and decided to watch romantic comedies all day with my apple and almond butter. Much more fun!
Hopefully, the weather will stay perfect this week so I can sit out on campus with the latest issue of SELF magazine! Be sure to take advantage of their new subscription deal– $8 for a year’s worth of issues. Perfect for the collegiette™ budget!
